As a soon to be retiree ( 23 Jan ) next year. I've decided to take up photography as a hobby. Your explanation of how a flash works is the best I've seen and I could actually understand everything. From now on it will be down to trial and error.😁

Todd. I found you and I am so glad. I appreciate the manner in which you present everything. Easy to lisrten and learn. (The teacher in you.) Looking forward to seeing everything you publish. MW

Thanks Todd, very informative!

Love this! Would love one on studio lights!

Nice beginning tutorial. Bravo.

Hi, unfortunately you only have the audio on the left channel. If the video is listened to with headphones it is quite painful. It is best to play your video again with the audio source in mono.

What guided your decision of setting the F stop of the camera specifically to F 22 and holding the exposure for 2 seconds? I only ask since you said the total of all the lenses and the actual light in the area was about 5 and a half stops. I plan on using the same camera but I'm nervous about over or under exposing the image or not setting the aperture correctly where my subject ends up not being in focus. I'm sorry if that's too technical of a question to explain simply.

Thank you for the video. What camera stand do you use?

Whats your typical forcal length on your studio stock work?

Thank you Todd for this great video. I hope that the damage to your house from the hurricane will be repaired soon. All the best.

Thanks Todd!

Hi Todd.....Thanks for taking the time to make this video. One thing that I would like to ask you, is how does someone break into Stock Photography, for example is there a website that someone can go on? Thanks again for the video, Bob

Thanks for posting. Is it still on my list? For sure, especially as I already have a 1.4 teleconverter which just happens to be compatible with this lens. Would I consider a Fuji 60 or even a Laowa 50? No. They simply don't allow sufficient subject to lens distance IMO.

Lens?

A shutter speed of 1/50th and on the ones with fixed aperture F13 is a good starting point on these old Kodak consumer cameras.

I think the appeal of film today is the authenticity. Digital cameras and photo editing software are so good today that producing outstanding results is a trivial task. I think the younger generation is worn out by perfect and sometimes overprocessed images. The film grain and the streaks might have something to do with the film processing. I'm getting back into film after decades away. Thanks for the video.

The 16-80mm is such a versatile focal length.(FF equivalent 24-120mm-can be used for many photographic subjects.) MFD is also a bonus. I have contemplated buying the 16-55mm f2.8, but have not pulled the trigger on that lens, as the 16-80mm has performed very well for its price point & OIS is helpful also. Best wishes for your channel, Todd.

Thanks for this. Years ago I was in a camera club which was an outreach of a local church.The wife of one of the leaders always started us off with a bible based devotion that had some sort of connection with photography. I used to marvel at her creativity and how she always had something for us.I have talked about to others of the photography of Matthew,Mark ,Luke and John. They used words not a camera but were using their "camera' for God..Blessings Geoff.

Thank you. I shot a roll of film om my Rollei TLR last Monday. Took it to the film lab on thursday and got scans in my email on friday. That us amazing service. I was a film photographyerwho had to transition to digital as well. Still shooting some film and reviewing cameras. cheers Geoff

That’s a insane tripod 😂

Happy for you!

Now here I am looking for a video on how to fold a reflector and run across this dumb-ish like the saying go if you don't have nothing to say nice say nothing at all that should apply to videos as well

I’m glad to see that you're back to “some” sort of normalcy and didn’t have to be out of the house because of structural concerns.

I like using the LED lights as a supplement to strobes especially when I use the color temp controls on my LED's. Since I shoot exclusively film it helps me take advantage of some of the color emulsions that are available.

As usual inspiring! Do you feel the straight down (head on) perspective reduces the depth of the image?

Is this xF50 to 140mm lens

Definitely , you do better videos than photos

Feel your pain. We got hit to.

Very well done!!!! But what we expect from you. Maybe this will be a new avenue for you into documentaries!!!! The stress and strain you and your family went through is obvious and hopefully time will heal all wounds.

So sorry, Todd. The combo of rain, wind and falling trees are my biggest fear.

To say that this is a terrible situation would be a huge understatement, I glad that you and the family are fine physically (emotionally is another story). Hopefully you'll get back to some sort of normalcy soon.

Hello, I'm coming from a ZV-e10, taking hair extension product photos with kit lens. Always had blurring around the edges (from lens). Color accuracy is terrible. White balance is accurate, colors aren't. No PP, or anything that would cause it. Had a chance to borrow an XT20 with XF18-55. Same setup, same settings. Didn't enable RAWs. Colors in the JPEGs look like how things are supposed to look. Thinking about upgrading to an XT3. Also considering later Sony models, but worried they have colors similar to the ZV-e10. What's your opinion on the direction I should take?

So happy you got the electric black!! I've been without power several times. It's much easier in the woods than in town! In a little ole shack very little depends on electric The bigger and newer the house the more dependent it is. Don't know you but you seem reasonable. Thankfully you weren't in the worst of it. How is it going? A body doesn't really know who to listen to. I volunteered after the Joplin tornado. Definitely not an expert on disasters. Joplin was terrible but it is a relatively small area. Parts of the town weren't damaged so some relief wasn't far away. Looking at your area it seems the damage is much more wide spread. Makes a body feel small

Can they bury the power from the pole to the house?

Hi Todd catching up on missed vids. If I may your style of honest practical approach is well done and very welcome. Keep doing them. Did not know you carry lights on a shoot!!!! Obvious when I think about it !!! Gives me ideas. Question where did you get the small on camera spirit level. I need one.

Cool video and very cool project! Glad to see you making videos right now with all you're going thru with the storm clean-up. I've wanted to try my hand at some street photography, with and without portraits. I'm just shy about asking folks if I can take their picture ..... maybe one of these days! I look forward to the next video in this series! BTW, I got a nice sandbag at Spartan Photo Center and put small pebbles in it to weigh down my light stands. I need one more sandbag, but it's worked great so far!

I’m sorry Todd. Hopefully, they get things up and running.

REALLY hoping you have water!! So appreciate your positive attitude

Their will God he will be

It's sad how the American government cares more about foreigners in Israel sending them all our tax dollars then they care for our own citizens here in the USA

Es de esperar que los propietarios sean israelíes, ucranianos o intrusos indocumentados. Entonces la administración estadounidense les dará millones.😢😢😢

Don't live where your life gets wiped out every year!

It's good to see all what we can do with this X100. I own one and love to make thing like this. What size of softbox did you used with your AD100 ?

Photos look great. You need to do more close ups 😊

😔💚🙏🏻👣🐾

Great to see you back at work!!!!! I know the storm was a mess for you I hope all is well. Have you got power back??? See ya

Great Job

Thank you for stating the date. Very helpful. God bless!

The kit with the different color attachments have plastic covering all around them. Is that protective and you remove it or is a gel to soften the light and you keep it on.

Very informative thank you for sharing
