Thanks for the comparison. I was dealing with a lot of light pollution with my shoot throughs. Now that I can see that reflective should get me better contrast, I can't wait till I get my new umbrellas in.
Hi, thanks for the comparison. Yes, I guessed it correctly. Did you measure the exposure for each shot separately? To me it looks like the two shots weren't exposed exactly the same.
Thanks, Jibran for all those videos. I am new at photography and have learned a whole lot with your videos. Please do not listen to any negative comments. Keep up the good work and God bless you!
thank you for educating us about photography. YOu're the best teacher here on youtube to be honest. others (i wont mention usernames) but they are too technical on explaining things. You teach from the heart. keep it up PhotographersOnUTube!
Yay! I guessed correctly! I'm excited because when it comes to shooting with speed lights & light modifiers (which I do not own yet), I'm a total newbie. That's why I appreciate these videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them for us! I'd like to see more speed light vids; I'm not stupid, just ignorant. For some reason, speed lights intimidate me. : / Cheers!
Would have been nice if you had measured the exposure so both photo's would have been lit the same. What you are explaining as more contrast is actually just a stop difference in light.
Thanks so much for this information on reflective vs. shoot through umbrellas. It was extremely helpful to see the photos and compare the techniques. Now I am getting an understanding of what to buy as a first time umbrella buyer. It was very excellent information.
Backdrops are for the indoor stuff for kids etc. there is a bit of a demand for it in here.. but i keep encouraging them to do outdoor shoots :) my next purchase would be a wireless trigger and the umbrella and stand.
I saw the picture on the right was the shoot through umbrella, there is more lite in the background of the image then there is on the reflective umbrella, nice video, perfect details.
This was a highly informative video. I have been researching what type of umbrella I may begin with and this video was very educational. I appreciate the time you put into this.
ps Try to ignore the angry people. It's them, not you! If you can, embrace all of the positive feedback. That's what's important. Thanks again for helping us all out by teaching us things we may not already know. Take care...
Im right there with you on using my camera on manual mode, the only time i go into aperture priority mode to get a meter is when im indoors, im having a bad time learning how to shoot indoors since i do all my shooting outdoors, but i wont give up and im almost there.
Thanks Jibran. Yes for me the reflective umbrella works better for me since im going more twards off camera flash. Also using a cowboy studio flash trigger tops it all off im getting great results now after watching some of your videos on strobist photography, I do have a question ??? am I supposed to meter the background, or the subject ??? im getting some mixed reviews,,, mabey on your next video you can add that part in for us ROOKIES ... Keep up the great work.
Thanks Jibran. Directional light is contrasty and create more shadows that diffuse light.. good physics concept. I've been reading a lot about the light and lighting.. it's interesting..but i need to put them in practice! I think i'd go with the 2 in 1 umbrella set up. What would you advice on backdrops? Thanks
I'm a big fan of yours love your videos .. I have a question ? Q-Flashes.... I don't see so many reviews on them.. I"m a event and Portrait shooter.. I"m planning to shoot weddings soon.. My camera body is a canon 5D mark 2 full frame .. I currently own 3 Canon 600 Ex Rt"s .. I don't think that's enough power to light up my group shots , church settings , and sometimes over power the sun ... Should I upgrade to the Q-flash Trios , Qflash t5DRs ??
hi jibran ,thanks for all the tutorials its been really helpful.I'm unable to go to your facebook page,...everytime I click on the link it goes to my own fb page.
Hey know you are my teacher hahaha the best i want to buy a flash what yo thing so about this Yongnuo YN565EX? o is better other canon flash, can you make some video canon vs yongnuo, thankkksssss
Your videos are always boring, but man！its so helpful and full of information se needed! Really really detailed. U might wanna change the recording spot.
Good video but audio hurts the content, obviously a mic clipped to the narrator's shirt collar on the right side drops off in sound volume when narrator is looking straight ahead or even to the narrator's left makes it inaudible. Time to get a boom microphone stand and place the mic overhead for better sound clarity and delivery of the message.

Your videos are very informative! Everything else doesn't matter! Really helping me learn lighting techniques, thank you!

Thanks Jib, super helpful. Trying to get into strobist and portrait photos.
Im right there with you on using my camera on manual mode, the only time i go into aperture priority mode to get a meter is when im indoors, im having a bad time learning how to shoot indoors since i do all my shooting outdoors, but i wont give up and im almost there.
thanks for this video...which one is best for group portrait of 4 to 6 people( i'll be using only one umbrella) thanks!
Keep uploading please. I am learning a lot from your videos

I guessed it right and great video
very good video. I am a beginner. I would have liked it if you had shown how to place the umbrellas in an actual shoot.
thanks, im a newbie and learn a lot from you

@PhotographersOnUTube chill man, ill still be a loyal subscriber. Ill always love videos. Pls, pls dont be pissed off
can you use a reflective umbrella and a white umbrella when doing self portraits?
hi jibran ,thanks for all the tutorials its been really helpful.I'm unable to go to your facebook page,...everytime I click on the link it goes to my own fb page.
yes but for beginner like me is good? because this yn565 not working like master
Would love to see a tutorial on high key and low key.
I was right about left being shoot through. makes sense because more light goes through the umbrella...
Hi jib! Why i cant see/search photographersonutube facebook page??? What happened?
Hey know you are my teacher hahaha the best
i want to buy a flash what yo thing so about this Yongnuo YN565EX? o is better other canon flash, can you make some video canon vs yongnuo, thankkksssss
