Sir, your video is really solved my problems about using lights.
Go across the street, forget the flash and bost the iso a tad
Six years later … and still going strong . You guys are an inspiration ☺️
Chelsea is gorgeous
Lucky fella… but thank you for your teaching
Love how Tony here is greener than Win xp screensaver
Superb even watch at it !
8:48 Stifled Chelsea yawn in 3, 2, 1.
I'm not a psychologist, but Tony, as you were talking, I'm pretty sure she was plotting your murder. Who knows, though? It's six years later and you're obviously still alive.
Damn I love so much these videos! I just love how easy it is to follow and understand. We need more videos like this.
Chelsea suppressing her yawns. lol What a champ!
She made me yawn also 🙂
literally the most helpful video I've ever watched lol
Tony, are u a cult leader?
Tony and Chelsea always produce fantastic content. This video is very informative as usual, BUT in this case as some people have noted, Chelsea does not look happy and she's yawning without opening her mouth. If she's tired and unhappy, then shooting this video at a different time would have been a better option. That way the viewing audience only sees what they came to watch, and everyone is happy.
Great video! It's really cool how you can get a professional result with only one point of light when you've got the right knowledge about you're equipment.
You might know a lot about camera and lens but you do suck at teaching flashes
Thanks, I learned a lot from this video. One suggestion…. perhaps do a comparison with ETTL modes as well?
8:38 that wasn't even the pose she made lol
The champion of low light is Nikon and has no doubt
Which camera model you are using??
1:43 Jesus the man looks sick
Love your channel. Chelsea so beautiful 😍
Would nice if you have a short course in flash photography
what lens are you using ?
Chelsea you looked like you was getting bored towards the end of the shoot lol 👍🏻
"harsh lines" and "deep shadows"…might be why she was upset with you 😂 just kidding
I constantly saw cartoonish 'thought bubbles' above chelsea.. I do not have to explain i guess :p
Great info but your model looked like she was really bored and would rather be anywhere else.
Yo holy crap I just discovered that my $20 andoer flash actually had a slave mode dbdkbddjshd
You just saved me $40! HAHAHAHAH my dumb ass was about to buy a wireless flash trigger for it. Thank you my mans!
Just stop on your video and I like it, I dnt care about the negative comments actually I learn something today thank you…
The photography world seemed so primitive back then!
Great instruction but probably need to keep in mind the white balance when mixing light sources. Sometimes auto white balance works fine. It can also be adjusted in post processing especially in RAW mode
