Nice done
Hey Kyle, thank you so much for your amazing detailed concise precise and inspirational videos! I has been a semi professional photographer for many years getting paid for gigs here and there but never making a living out of it. I am now wanting to leave my software developer job to get back my happiness and get away from the miserable office. I need to take it to the next level and get inspiration and techniques dialled in. I love your videos for your precision and going by examples every time instead of just talking. Also it's all about your photos and photos technique it's not about your ego I just love that so much. I love watching Manny Ortiz too, because his technique is also Spot, but there's too much advertising merchandising and drama. Your channel is just amazing for being so professional and not flooded with all of these above. Do not Change anything keep the good work!!! And yes your videos really give me the desire to test your courses once I make a bit of money. And really it's what other photographers on UA-cam should do instead of flooding their videos with marketing and merchandising they should say okay you want to go further you pay for my quality courses. And separate concerns just like you are doing so well! 😊 Many thanks again 謝謝你!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you once again for an inspirational video. What size is the umbrella and the Angler parasail used in this video?
Are you using an ND filter? The settings indicated in Lightroom show sub 100 ISO, F1.4 and 1/200 shutter. That can't be a bright sunny day.
Yes, all shot with ND
Can we get an idea of what your camera settings are? Shutter needs to be fast enough to avoid motion blur, and ISO can only go so high. Thanks.
Shutter speed between 1/80 to 1/200. ISO between 400-800
Nice!
Is your lens SC version = single-layer coating?
Mine is MC
Thank you
Kyle, thank you very much!! I have been learning a lot from your videos. Kindly also list down the gears that you have used, like softboxes, light stand and the accessory to fix the bottom light to the light stand.
I use 1x3’ or 24” silver beauty dish the most. Plus the two light setup. The mounting accessory for the bottom light is Kupo right angle pin.
Nice job, Kyle. What ISO did you have to use with those lights?
Hi Noel, ISO 800-1600
would you use this as a go to or the 1x3
Daytime, I will definitely use a strobe. 1x3 or 24” beauty dish
@@KyleCongphoto Does it really matter if the lower softbox in your #3 lighting set up (beauty dish above & small square softbox below) is a 15 x 15 softbox? Can the bottom be a 24 x 24 and the top be a 24" beauty dish octa? I understand your selection is for transportation benefits with smaller modifiers. Clarifying if a 15 x 15 below was specifically for lighting quality or effect. Learning a lot from your videos and like to try new methods, thanks.
@ParaonPhotography it doesn’t matter. 24x24” for the lower one will work just fine.
best composition tutorial
In your full body shots is the light source out of frame or do you edit it out in post?
Out of frame, always.
Where did you get Sophie?
Amazon
@@KyleCongphoto link or name of it? Thanks
These are wonderful shots are the shots straight from camera ?
These are retouched photos but no change on exposure or contrast.
"Remember, photography is not to show people what you see, it is to let them feel how you feel" perfectly sums it up for me
that was profound!
I love the way that you explain things. Even though I have been photographing for years, I hate using all those high tech terms. I am an ordinary person who loves communicating in that way. Thank you for making this easy
Excellent explanation... very helpful
White pipe protruding not flattering composition wise. Quality Lighting balance dimensional good video
Great channel. Quality content. Thaks for sharing your knowledge. Absolutely love your skills.
Brilliant. Def should have more likes for this! Thank you❤
Great portrait editing tips...THANKS!
Very cinematic and timeless photos💯. A secret sauce lense it is. It creates images that have so much soul! I had my eyes on the 1.2 but this one really do reminds me of the medium format look. Exceptional stuff man🔥
greattt!!
Sir, why are you not responding on instagram? how do i reach you? wanna ask about your online course
@mimosz8097 just replied your message.
I love the character this lens renders. Between that and the level of detail it captures looks beautiful in your hands.
You have perfectly controlled the distortion of 24MM. May I ask what was achieved through post cutting
I don’t think I did anything in post editing for distortion.
GREAT PORTRAIT TIPS! They are much appreciated by us veterans and beginners alike! Thank you for this video!
This is amazing lesson man! Is it possible to do this with round head speedlights and also, what are your thoughts on using this setup with ND filters?
You should be able to get the same result with speed light. As long as it’s powerful enough. And yes. I always use ND filter.
@@KyleCongphoto Thank you so much for replying. Can I get a link or recommendation for ND filter that does not create colour cast or at least one that you use?
3-4 stops ND are pretty good no matter what brand. It’s only when you use those big stoppers you have to be careful with colour cast. www.amazon.ca/Concept-Filter-Camera-Neutral-Density/dp/B08RNM3Z9G/ref=mp_s_a_1_27?crid=1R7MCV9OVUW8Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F1UGk1wt7tY-jKBwdPLwJF5PYbP-GYz_wW7nlsQ8hiubwNauP4VE-5bBjsbvVGiu_TJZhFD1If-Atb1sYTpN5ccv21lPtXVWYj2BdvrHph2yURrwtb0zyYpfH0LNJGLeu9c48SgBfkId2S-gYeyH8XUk7G3sizU1qjYfVcBQhd1kw0lepxdoKTDke60WN_q1KF78hytzPAn__D1hNFDnCw.yUgPhW-uqonvzDLu8lENEfHR_7FKa19v6GUoJ4jWlo8&dib_tag=se&keywords=nd+filter&qid=1723145679&sprefix=nd%2Caps%2C1011&sr=8-27
@@KyleCongphoto Thank you so much for the recommendation as my monitor isn't calibrated and any ND filter that gives color cast is an obvious pain in the neck. I'll surely look into these. Thanks again for these Masterclasses you are amazing🔥🔥🔥
Hi Kyle I really learned a lot from your videos. One question, I see your have a light stand with a really large footprint and extendable leg for uneven ground. What brand and model is the light stand? I’ve been struggling to find a lightstand that has all these features
I bought it from a local store in Canada. But you can use use a tripod. It’s actually easier. I showed that setup on a recent BTS video ua-cam.com/video/E8rBBFh6AuE/v-deo.htmlsi=22SGp1ht_ugGray7
very cool, some new ideas for me with great example photos and explanation. Thank you
Great Video
Original input about composition which I have not heard before.
You dindn't show portraits. Portraits have something natural and true. Your pictures don't.
This is great!
when you are shooting outdoors, do you tether to see the results on a bigger screen, as you shoot?
No I don’t
you are such a good tutor! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us
Kyle, these series are great! 😮👌
You are a Master of light, it's amazing. Do you use HSS or ND filters? Thank you for your hard work!
Yes I do.
I love your talk very much. I think you’re one of the best tutors for me. I learned so much from you. Many many thanks for your sharing. Wish you and your family all the best. 😊
Thank you
Hi Kyle, thank you for this information and for always sharing your knowledge! Do you find that a small 24" soft box/beauty dish works better than a strip box for these scenarios or the other way around?
I think stripbox is the most versatile modifier. I choose beauty dish because it’s smaller. Sometimes it matches the harsh sun slightly better. But beauty dish will struggle when the ambient light is too dark.
Thank you Kyle for this information. Do you suggest a 12”x 36” Stripbox & do you typically use it outdoors with a grid or without a grid?
@larryb0315 1x3 no grid.
Thank you, Kyle!
@@KyleCongphoto would you use the strip box without the beauty dish insert or with it? Thank you in advance, Kyle!
Thank you! As always amazing!
Naive question, when the ambient light is coming from the right, and we put the off camera flash on the right as well, does that make the right side over exposed?
unless you over power the sun. The effect on the shadow is much more obvious than on the highlight, think painting white on black versus paint white on white. The situation is not as extreme but you got the idea.
@@KyleCongphotothanks! I’ll try this technique next time.
The consistency in your work is amazing! Keep it up and I love this series you are doing 👍🏾
Enhorabuena!!! Es uno de los canales de UA-cam más interesantes. Tutoríales de mucho nivel profesional.
Are you okk sir ???
You really need more viewers. I've watched many videos on "portrait lenses" where they explain the basic effects of different lenses, but don't explain the *craft* considerations of photography, like the effect it has on a non-photography audience. While I had some intuitive ideas about what I'd use a 105mm for, I never thought of the issue of it "looking too much like a photograph", that's a really great way to put that. Well done!
thank you very much.
Enjoyed your other video on 10 composition tips...this one is ALSO informative: THANKS!
GREAT INFO...thanks for taking us back to basics with your 10 Portrait Composition Tips! Do you often also shoot in black and white?
I love black and white
