    What material is it ? im asking because would you be able to put a light behind the backdop when shooting strobe for highkey photograghy ?

    • @ladedrictaylor
      @ladedrictaylor 10 часов назад

      It is a fleece material with a smooth and textured side. Light will travel through this material, I just can't say what the light spread would be without testing it out. According to how much space you are working with, have you considered hitting the fabric with the lights from the front and flagging off the light spillage on your subject.

    A suggestion, you move around a lot, not a criticism in itself but your audio gets lost a lot. This could be fixed with a lav mic or using a voice over when demonstrating stuff. Your camera loses you on occasion, maybe lock the focus or re-shoot when it loses you. The reason I say this is you have a very professional looking studio and setup. No need to rush it. That said, it was very informative and well put together video. Best of luck on your RUclips journey :) Liked and subscribed

      @@RetroBigCat75 I don’t think she will be disappointed at all! Some like the status of having the Shure SM7B microphone which is totally their choice. You’ll just need more equipment to make that microphone sound good. I have nothing against either as I am not recording anyone singing or moving the microphone around a lot when I am recording. Remember some microphones are designed for speech and some are designed for instruments or singing and of course some will do multiple things equally well. Thanks for the comment.

    I have a kinda dumb question for the photos at 42:43 Why is the guard rail in the photo? Is it to draw attention to the car or something else? To my (noob) eye, it takes away part of the car and covers the road. I’d love to know why.

    • @ladedrictaylor
      @ladedrictaylor 2 месяца назад

      @quinnmarchionini7997 Thanks for the comment. I have to admit I may have gotten a little lost in your comment, but I found it humorous in the interpretation it took from it. I hope I am on the same page with you. The dome acts similar to a bounce card and the second diffuser flap on traditional square head flashes. The difference is it will disperse the light in more directions allowing it to bounce off of near by walls and or the ceiling. Of course according to the width of the image or group of people, the person in the center will get more light as you will still get light fall-off as you go to a wider group of people. I hope this makes sense. Again, thanks for commenting!

      Yeah I agree that the Q9U has received a lot of flake for not being just about any other mic besides the mic that it is. I have only use it for speech with my voice and have not had a need to us it for singing, so I have no idea how it would perform recording any type of singing. I am surprised that you do not hear a difference in these mics sibilance, bass or mid bass characteristics. Much respect to you and a big thank you for sharing your experience.

    when I use the flash at night half of my picture on the subject is white and the other side of dark and that number doesn’t go higher than three on canon. Is there a reason as to why that number doesn’t go higher? I see yours is a Sony.

    • @ladedrictaylor
      @ladedrictaylor 4 месяца назад

      Yes, I have a guess. First, I think your camera is in TTL and you have adjusted the flash to +3 which is three (s) steps above what the camera and flash combo would have chosen for the proper amount of light. You can either lower it back down to "0" if you want to use TTL. If you want to be in total control of the amount of light the strobe makes, try this. If you tap the word "MODE" it should light up. Next tap either one of the "Arrows" and you should see it change to "M". Next press the okay. Please let me know if this helps.

    The Samson Q9U gets some hate but mainly it’s from the Shute crowd that thinks any dynamic mic that isn’t an original SM7 from 40 years ago isn’t good enough. I love my Q9U. Picked it up for $99 bucks a few months back new. Great mic!

    • @ladedrictaylor
      @ladedrictaylor 5 месяцев назад

      I love my Q9u sound for speech, I don’t sing so I have no idea what it would sound like for a singer. My only caution with this mic is that you make sure it is not muted when you are recording. Otherwise, using this mic as the tool it was designed to be and not as some type of status symbol is really fun and sometimes a comforting prop.
