Thank you Amanda for sharing. I'm new to photography. I bought a new camera and lens to take photos of my jewelry. I'm learning a lot and doing research. Again Thank you. Angel from The Bay Area, CA USA
In your master class which was lovely BTW thank you, you demonstrated how to position the lights etc etc. I was wondering what light settings you used for the strobe when you were combining it with the continuous light ^^ Thank you so much for your videos that have been really helpful.
I was only using strobe for the photos in this video. The continuous light was just to help me with filming the actual RUclips video 😊I don’t mix strobe and continuous when shooting
Going to have to hard disagree on a couple of these points: - Especially when it comes to product photography, the environment is so controlled it's hard to not have light bright enough. The only thing brighter lights do is allow you to overpower ambient light. If your lights aren't bright enough to do that, then just get rid of as much ambient lighting in your environment is possible. That's not to say that pro lights don't have a ton of QOL features, but you can still get pro results with cheap lights. Though if you go with the cheap light kit make sure you get high CRI bulbs so you don't get weird tints in your photos. - You most certainly don't need a full frame camera. A full frame camera gives you 2 things over APS-C; 1) Shallower depth of field, 2) Usually better low light performance. In product photography you don't need to be shooting at some super shallow f1.4 depth of field as it probably won't even get the whole product in focus. And, as mentioned before, the whole environment is super controlled, so if you need more light you can just shoot at a slower shutter speed.
Thanks for sharing your insight. And that’s totally fine if you disagree. When it comes to photography, there are so many options out there and it really comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. I’m super happy with the gear I use. It gets me really good results. Because I do shoot in a studio that does have some natural light coming through, I love my ad600 pro lights. They do a great job. And the canon R5 is an excellent camera. So each to their own and I’m sure whatever equipment you use you’re happy with 😊
@@amandacampeanu The one other nice thing I forgot to mention about pro flashes that continuous light can't do is they're able to help freeze motion better, so if you're doing swirls or splashes they're very useful. The rest isn't really subjective; you can get pro results with cheap lights. Whether you want the QoL features pro lights bring is really the subjective part.
@@Bradum oh yes 😊 splash photography is one of my favourite concepts to do. Super fun. I definitely agree you can still get good results with more budget friendly lights yes. I’ve used lights at all different budgets in my career. Ive personally found the ad600 to give me the best results as opposed to say a $300 light.
@@amandacampeanu cheaper flashes tend to have faster flash durations, for instance the ad200pro has a 1/15,380 to 1/220 Sec vs 1/10,000 to 1/220 for the AD600pro! (yes I have both and the 600 is absolute overkill for product photography unless you're shooting a car in a warehouse or need to overpower the sun outdoors)
