When it comes down to natural light photography and flash photography… hands downs I would always go with flash photography! It’s really no comparison Austin! You have the advantage of stop motion and color tones that just makes it all that goodness come to life! No blown out background if you meter for the background and adding just enough fill light to enhance those colors! Great session my friend!
you guys both take great shots. i like yours a tad more just because with flash it gets this more sharper, punchy, colorfull and overall just super professional look. not saying kieths pics dont look professional, but a flash adds this extra layer to it imo. love the channel mate
Thank you! I’ve always been a fan of off camera lighting for the exact same reasons! But, I always admire people like Keith who know how to work with available light so well. :)
Fantastic work guys, great shots in there! I would have loved to see Keith implament a big reflector to fill the shadows just a little bit, I think it could have really taken them to a whole new level. Alas, easier said than done when we're out here shooting without an assistant.
Hi Austin, amazing your work! I could put the exifs in the photos so that we, who are laymen, can have an idea of how you got to this result. Congratulations !!! It won another entry directly from Brazil.
Hey! I normally do shot the cameras settings. But, with this video I didn’t have Keith’s settings, so I left them out. We talk a bit about our settings at the end. And for me, I was at ISO 100 and Shutter 1/200th. Hopefully that helps a bit.
Hey, sorry for the late response. Shallow depth of field and higher shutter speeds are always handy for movement and sports. But, it’s hard to give specific settings without knowing exactly what type of imagery you’re going for.
Great video, Austin! I really like how the one with the reflector turned out. I own 2x AD200 Pros, and have that reflector, honestly I haven’t used them. I don’t really know how, when, or where to use it.🙈
Austin, I have the 50 and 70-200 and Im planning to do a similar shoot. I know you were at 7.1-16 but around what speed were you shooting and if you don't mine, about what power were you on with you light? I will likely use a second light since I may not have as much sunlight to use a rim. Thanks!
Hey! I checked the metadata for the camera. I was shooting anywhere from 1/125th to 1/2000th of a second. So I was all over the place. I’m guessing it was the same with light power. Generally I try and put that info on the images, but in this video I didn’t have Keith’s info, so I decided to forgo it altogether. Sorry, I can’t be of more help on info for this shoot. The best advice I can give is to expose for your ambient light, since that’s what you have the least control over, then fill in with flash till you get an overall exposure that you’re happy with.
@@austinlindsay So you were using the high speed sync function of the camera and flash? No trouble getting enough power from the AD400? This was a great and useful video. thanks for putting it together.
Thank you! I’m glad it helped!! I was using HSS. I don’t recall what power levels I was using but I don’t remember at any point wishing I had more power. I love the 400pros
I’ll have to look through the raws to know for sure. As a general rule, I usually try and stay pretty low on ISO whenever I can. But as the sun was setting I’m sure I raise the ISO so just a little bit to compensate during the shoot.
That’s interesting. I’m personally a huge fan of Keith’s work. But, I can respect that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Thank you for your feedback,

Same here. I feel like strobes give the images just a bit more sharpness than natural light does. Thanks for watching, man!
@@austinlindsay of course Austin! Supporting local talent!

Yea, he asked me, but I told him it was beneath me to hold his reflector. So, he let it in the car. 😂
@Austin Lindsay sabotage. I like it. 😂
What a great video. Love the visual comparison. Wish there were more videos like this with action/sports photos
Thank you! Can you tell me a bit more about what you are wishing for? Maybe I can make some of it happen.

@@austinlindsay Thank you very much, hugs
Great video thanks for sharing. I am currently looking to update my commercial lifestyle portfolio with athletic wear, this was super helpful!
Hey, thanks for watching! I’m glad you found it helpful. I’m excited for what you’ll create!
Coolest bloke on the interwebs.
👆kindest bloke on the interwebs :)
Great idea for pairing a studio and natural light shooter, shooting at that same time.
Thank you for the compliment! And thanks for watching! 🙌
Knew it - I could tell you guys were in Salt Lake. Awesome! Hello from West Jordan.
Well hey there! Glad to meet another Utah photographer! 👋
Well done! Great side by side comparison of natural light and strobe assisted natural light!
Thanks Hector! You’re a badass!
Hello, I’m a Photographer in Mississippi and I shoot with a 5D Mark IV. I wanted to do some outside sports shots. What settings do you recommend

Great insights and setups! Happy to be a new subscriber and enjoy your content!
Hey thanks for subscribing! And thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Great video, Austin!

I use reflectors when I want a hard light source and really defined shadows. I use them pretty rarely though. I’m most often a fan of softer light.
@@austinlindsay I think it’s going to have to be a case of me deliberately using it, to truly understand if I like the look! 🤣
Yea. It give that “high fashion” vibe. That sometimes is exactly what you need and other times you feel it’s the word lighting ever. Haha
Great video, love it! 👍👍👍
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment! 🙌

Great videos brother! Keep on sharing 🤗
Will do! Thank you for the support! Cheers!
Ha I thought I was the only one that did the hand trick!
Apparently only cool people know this trick. Hah
What was y'alls ISO setting for the time of day sunlight?
I’ll have to look through the raws to know for sure. As a general rule, I usually try and stay pretty low on ISO whenever I can. But as the sun was setting I’m sure I raise the ISO so just a little bit to compensate during the shoot.
@@austinlindsay thanks 🙏🏼
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 🙏
awesome info and entreteining video 👌👌📸📸
Thank you! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. :)
3:00 i do the hand shadow thing too!
It's a handy trick. I had no idea about it till Keith showed me!
@@austinlindsay hey i learned it from another photog on youtube a couple years ago
@@austinlindsay HANDY trick ... I see what you did there :D haha
@Rich, Haha I totally did not plan that play on words. But, I’m gonna pretend like I did.
@@austinlindsay oh shit I never realized it! :D
Which lens are you using
I explain all that at the end of the video. :)
done like my bro,really like your channel.heheh
Thank you! I’m glad you like it.
Keith photos look like they were shot on a cellphone he has no idea what composition is.
That’s interesting. I’m personally a huge fan of Keith’s work. But, I can respect that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Thank you for your feedback,
