    Pye, I’ve personally heard some very popular RUclipsrs say they don’t feel it’s necessary to gel in incandescent event spaces. It makes my heart happy to know you take the time to teach how to do that. At least your viewers know it’s an option and how to do it.

    Thank you Pye. The first thing that i realized when i started my photography is i used the aperture priority. I had inconsistent exposures during that process and i blamed myself for having inconsistent results without knowing why. It was until i figured out that the auto shutter speed was to blame. Its good that you mentioned here in this video.

    Excellent. I watched a few of Pye’s flash tutorials before a went out and bought a Godox v1 with a modifier kit. The modifiers really make a difference. If I had a traditional rectangle flash I would be using Magmod modifiers.

    I've watched a bunch of your flash videos Pye, and in each one I learn something new, thank you! I liked the comment about filter films on building glass for energy efficiency and how a bounce flash can help clean up that tint. And also that tid bit about pointing the flash at the big incoming light source, so that it blends into that natural source on the bounce - A bit counter intuitive to 'dump the flash out the big day lit window' but it actually makes sense when you slow down to think about it.

    I agree that there was a very warm spot around the light. But, isn't the photo taken with cto too "magenta" ? how do you fix that in post ?

  • @marclabro
    @marclabro 9 месяцев назад

    great tuto. For my a7rv, i purchased an expensive sflash sony HVL-F60rm2 whic, compared to my godox V1s and your prophoto, doesn't display the flash power and cannot use in manual mode (called tcm on godox). A pity. I must say that i know this bounce technique for years but any time i am in a event, i don't rely to a boucing wall,... and use magsphere 2, vertical or towars subject, to be sure not missing a shoot. I need to practice more the bouncing.

    Hey Pye great video. What if you are in a hall with very High ceilings how do you then bounce the light or use a cto gel?
    or of your out doors at night how do you warm up the picture with on camara flash?

  • @CarlosCorrea-uj2vx
    @CarlosCorrea-uj2vx 9 месяцев назад +1

    I always like Pye's videos. Any chance could the same Flash seccion where the walls are not white or beige? Some times the location Flash friendly walls and cellings when trying to bounce Flash well of the surrounding walls. 😉

    • @MagnetMod
      @MagnetMod  9 месяцев назад +2

      Great show idea! Something to keep in mind is that when you bounce light off a colored wall it will often times come back that color. So if you want to avoid that you just need to move your flash off camera and onto a light stand and then position that stand where your wall is. So you get the same direction of light but without the color cast from the wall. Thanks for watching the video!

      Yeah Profoto uses whole numbers. Westcott also has a flash that does as well. It actually makes a lot of sense and we are thinking more and more flash manufacturers are going to start making them this way.

    Flash is a great tool that amazingly impractical to use without advanced knowledge. it is extremely user unfriendly. I hate flash. Controls for flash sucks. Chimping all the time. constant testing and retesting. power issues relative to distance. ttl can be awesome or a fraking mess. no universal controllers.
    but...if u can learn it, it is basically superpower.
