Dr. Ali & Zoh! You guys are GODSENT! Phenomenal series, much more comprehensive than most PAID dental photography courses out there. What do you think about setting your own custom white balance with a gray card for more accurate colors? Is it a common routine in practice? Does this eliminate image color variations due to ambient lighting? P.S. the model is stunning!
Thank you so much for your continuous support Dina! 🙌 I think using a grey card is probably a bit overkill and you wouldn't see much of a difference. I've never seen or heard anyone use it for dental photography. I think it's role is more suited for videography and cinematography where you're filming in various locations. Our model is my amazing sister - check out her baking page on Instagram @velvetbakerylondon
This is great, we do too but we don’t have that much room generally in our rooms for the focal length we use and so we just do it in vertical mode to include more of the patient
Excellent series. I have finally set my A6400 camera setup with macro lens and meike flashes on braket. Now I want to order mirrors - any suggestions for mirrors and also how to play with ratios in A6400 ? Thanks a lot 😊

Hi! I have a question abour the magnification ratio. In the previous video you mentioned the one to three magnification ratio (I understood "1:3") but you showed a picture of your lens with the mark in 1.3ft, so I have doubts about that. When you recommend a "one to three magnification ratio" to take anterior, lateral and occlusal photos you mean 1:3 right? Thank you very much, great videos!!
Great series! Really useful information. I have a question about hygiene of the camera - gloves on/off, do you use some kind of protective sleeve for the camera? Is it safe to wipe it with alcohol wipes after use? And also a question about organizing photographs, do you transfer them directly to a computer/tablet while shooting? Do you organize them later on in some kind of folders? Thank you!
That's a great question! I personally switch to new clean gloves when handling my camera and then wipe the camera after with an alcohol wipe and dry it with a tissue. My camera (Sony A6400) is weather sealed, so I feel confident that it can handle a bit of moisture. If I want to show my patient the photo straight away, I put the sd card in my computer and bring up the photos. But I also organise my photos in folders using this file naming system "Name of procedure_tooth treated_patient initials", e.g "Posterior composite_UR6_CK". This means if I go into my folder and search "posterior composite", I should find all of those cases.
Hi Faiyaz, yes we've covered the equipement we recommed in part 1 of the series and if you go to the description, you'll find a link to the blog for that video where we give links to the specific mirrors we recommend getting. Hope this helps. www.twodentists.co.uk/dental-photography-equipment-ultimate-guide-2021/
Great video! I'm still in dental school and I'm glad I stumbled upon this series and subscribed to the channel! I have a question, for portrait shots what magnification ratio do you recommend?
Hallo I bought Sony 6400 Camera and Object macro ef 90mm and i want to buy flash. Wich one should I buy Godox MF R76 Ring Flash or godox twin ot another? Thank you
Hi, I have not seen ALL of your videos,so you might have answered this already...but my question is this: I normally use MANUAL mode for my photos-so what is the point of having a camera (or lense,or both) with Image Stabilisation? I'm I right in thinking that it's INACTIVE anyway when focusing "by hand" ?Thank you!
Hello! Image stabilisation on a lens reduces the chances of getting a blurry image when shooting at longer shutter speeds. With dental photography we shoot at 1/200 (or 1/125 at the longest end), at which image stabilisation does not do much. It doesn't have anything to do with manual or auto-focus.
Hi guys great videos! I do have a question on how do you best use PPE to avoid contaminating the camera? What are some ways you do it to avoid having to take off gloves, or do you need to take off gloves? Assistant training? Or wrapping the camera in plastic cover? Thanks!
Hi David, personally I remove the glove on my right hand and pick up the camera with my ungloved hand, and I would have a glove on my left hand and move the mirrors/retractors with that hand. And yes I ask the patient to help me with the retractors and sometimes my nurse too if needed. Hope that helps!
Nice video. Could you upload the original photos to your blog or google drive, so i can compare them to the photos i take. I find the lighting on the occlusal shots a bit dark, but maybe its just the youtube codec. Greetings from Denmark!
Thank you for watching! You're definitely correct, the occlusal photo does look a bit dark. It's a combination of the RUclips codec and the colour grading we applied to our video. The actual photo was much brighter. If you would like to see the photos send us a message on Instagram (@two.dentists) and I'd be happy to share!
Hi Shaji, the 1:1 magnification ratio is what you look for when buying a lens as it will allow you to get very closeup shots. When taking portrait/intra-iral shots you change the magnification ratio to suit the photo.
@1:50 You say 1.3 magnification here. That's actually 1.3 feet away from the subject. Since the lens on screen is a good macro lens (1:1 magnification with this lens). It's very confusing when you say 1.3 magnification level in the video when in reality you are saying 1.3 feet away from the subject and you focus using your movement of the lens and camera to your subject.

Great video 👍 I prefer taking portrait photos in landscape mode to see also the shoulders of the patients
This is great, we do too but we don’t have that much room generally in our rooms for the focal length we use and so we just do it in vertical mode to include more of the patient
I feel like i should be paying for this..
Thank you so much Doctor!
That’s really kind of you to say, really please you found it useful 👌🏼

I would like to say what’s great detailed video this was and I was wondering if this patient had tooth decay on her top molars or is it just staining
Thank you for watching! Mainly staining :)
This is amazing. Thank u
Glad you like it!

Absolutely amazing :)
Thank you!!
Great video! I'm still in dental school and I'm glad I stumbled upon this series and subscribed to the channel! I have a question, for portrait shots what magnification ratio do you recommend?
Thank you Lazaro! For portraits I usually set the focus to automatic as the camera does a better job at focusing on the patient's eye.
Hallo
I bought Sony 6400 Camera and Object macro ef 90mm and i want to buy flash. Wich one should I buy Godox MF R76 Ring Flash or godox twin ot another?

Thank you for the feedback 🙌🏼
Your occlusal photos are not good enough. You should tilt mirror towards opposite jaw so we can see more lingual surface of teeth.
Thank you for the feedback 🙌🏼
This patient has a lot of cavities! And needs drilling!
Thank you for commenting 🙌🏼
@@TwoDentistscan you make a video when you drill her and make the fillings?
