    OMG, this dog literally understands exactly what you want. Absolutely amazing model. Even holding the ears permanently in correct position. If only all animals would cooperate like he. Even taking the right paw down on command, then “hide, hide” and posing perfectly cute 🥰 Awesome 🤩

    another amazing video not only full of tips but its fun to watch as well - you make learning an enjoyment - really new and getting it all wrong 90% of the time -but seeing you working and your results are inspirational - i hate noise in my images and knocks confidence badly, i love sunny days as images always come out sharper and detailed - was looking at your settings and noticed 1600 iso at one time and 400 iso another - i am not an iso fan lol
    even in the snow the other day images were so grainy - used lowest shutter speed possible think about 600 - 800 and f5 - with 100 400 sony lens -out doors and as for indoors photos almost black - any videos on mastering this or lightroom editing for noise - if they are worth saving lol
    other quick question i watch many of your other videos and notice the amount of equipment you have - i am investing in lighting system and am going with a godox company at the moment as i have the sony a7r iv so need compatible bits and i liked your battery ilux system - i see you have ilux softboxes and am trying to get those as well - for easy use and portable - the godox seller is saying go ilux and as you use ilux is it worth the investment for quality and i was looking at your stands and the godox seller says again ilux stands are as good - i have such trust and faith in your advice and direction as you use it all
    look forward to watching all you video past and present - you are a great teacher xt - sorry if not meant to ask question here xt

    • @ThatPhotographySpot
      @ThatPhotographySpot  3 года назад +1

      For Noise, definitely check out this app (it does have a $$ cost!): ruclips.net/video/1DDDX5q20_I/видео.html
      I've got Godox lights now, but the ilux modifiers fit - either Godox or iLux is fine for modifiers. For lightstands, a link to my heavy duty ones is in the description of each video :)

I only came across this RUclips Channel by chance and to see what can be done and to learn some great tips is really helpful. I suspect I will be coming back to this video again soon for revision but in the meantime I've joined the Facebook Page and will follow on Instagram. Some great ideas there.

    This is great! Thank you so much. On my camera the focus points go up higher on the middle section so I tend to use the middle corners. I think newer cameras have focus points that cover much more of the screen?
    I also found that I do a bit more cleaning up of the location than I ever used to, like remove sticks etc, to save time when editing!

Does it work with any camera ? I shoot with a Nikon btw. Love your videos, gonna find them all & do a ton of watching them. I just went downstairs to get my husband to come up & watch how you can get Alfie & Alfredo to so anything you ask them to, we can't get small children to come close to this 🤣🤣 new to shooting pups with my subjects & need some guidance & you definitely know what you're doing, I don't at this point......
