Really good video! Well explained in an easy way :) I don't know if you know this, or just prefer things the way you shoot it, BUT.. Wouldn't you want to go into second curtain sync, so that the light-trails falls behind the subject and not on top of them? Makes the subject pop out of the image a little more.
Anyway that's the way I have been taught and from my own experience, it works the best..
Anywaaaayy.. Great video! Love your werk :D
Dude. I had no idea that existed. This is why I love UA-cam. Thanks so much, man. This is going to make my life so much better! hahaha Just looked up how to turn on second curtain sync, and it's literally just a button on the flash. So rad! Thanks again, brother!!
@@EricFloberg Really? :O :D Well then I'm just super glad that I could help :) It really does make all the difference! Just keep in mind that now you'll have to do the painting first, and at the end of the exposure, frame the subject!
BRROOO Why did I never think about that! You just changed the whole game. Thanks for sharing this information.
@@jbivphotography Hahah dude I thought it was pretty common knowledge but I was wrong :O Maybe I should do a viddy on that and other flashy stuff :O
@@MikaelRoosphotography Do It Do It!
That was the party of THE YEAR! Better than Tomorrow Land! #SoberPartyRocks
As soon as I saw you turnin' up, I was like: OH I KNOW HIM!! (not in person, one day hopefully). If you're ever in South Florida, let's meet up for some street photography! Crepes will be my treat haha.
Watching in 2023 , this channel deserves at least one million subscribers, awesome information
Great tutorial! What you talk about at @6:40 is HUGE! I tend to shoot all the formal stuff with bounce flash (so first dance, parent dances, stuff like that). But then when everyone is partying out and getting drunk that's when you turn on that light painting and get out on the dance floor with everyone. 👌👌 Great stuff. Keep it coming.
Thanks for existing!!
One of my favorite photographers does it again!
I am really loving your videos! I've learned lots and you convey the information in such a great way! Keep em comin!
I love it Eric, thank you so much 😊 really looking forward to trying this out 😃🎉
I'm so glad I found you! I'm also a wedding photographer/videographer in Chicago. It's great to connect with ppl in my city.
you just saved my life for club photography thank you so much!
you are so good at giving direction.
I don't shoot weddings but I love this technique, and I've already got some ideas on how to work it into my photography! Let's get it!
such a great tutorial, as always I love it!
Nice tip of using the flash zoom. Me i usually use bulb mode for my shutter to get more time and control for making my light trails.
Love it!
Iv been using a similar technique in my concert photos for years, and I laughed a with joy when you said the f stop and shutter speed were the EXACT same numbers that I have discovered as my go to starting point, took A LOT of experimenting to nail it down. glad to see we came to the same conclusion! :)
Thanks for the helpful tips!
Love the Office fill ins hahaha
Awesome Video! Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for posting this!
amazing effect!!! i MUST try this next party.
Awesome video dude! This took me back to when I started out doing nightclub photography. I was always hit or miss with my settings trying to get light trails. I figured it out eventually but it was never as prominent as your light trails in these shots. Digging the work dude, keep it up 👍🏻
Before you blow up big, we just wanna say we were the OGs when you have 20k, much love 🖤🌼
The content I love from you!
thanks so much for making these videos! Please keep making videos, I love your videos as it inspires me as Im only a teen
I was looking for this for so long!!!
GREAT TIPS thank you very much!
Very good video, very helpful, thank you!
Been binge watching your videos! Love these! Such a cool technique! I'll have to give that a try!
Thank you for the video, I appreciate that.
just started as a nightclub photographer and i love this look thank you
Thank you! I will definitely try this in my next wedding :)
I tried this for the first time at a birthday party last night. Really cool results but definitely need to practice more.
This is genius man. Amazing. You got a sub for sure here. Look forwards to seeing your growth.
such a unique technique! definitely going to use this! great job dude
Great tips here! I cant wait to try it at my next wedding!
I’m definitely going to attempt this
high quality video right here! thanks
Love this technique! Thanks for showing me at Megan & Regans weddings ;) You're incredibly talented
Nah nah, you lost me at "Manuel who?" 😂 Wish me luck tryna get through the rest of the video now hahaha
Thanks for the video! It was very helpful 🙏
FLO FLO FLO FLO🤘🏼
On my way to shoot a wedding and just refreshing my memory on this 🤙🏼
Hi Eric, I hope you can share more tutorials, make a video about the photos and video of the basic gradually and continue to share your experience. Thank you.
This is lit!! Very cool and informative Thank you :) keep going up
We use to call it ‘Flash-Blur’. It is a great technique that we would often use in the photojournalism arena. That said, some editors hated it.
This is sick!!!
Cool effect. I wannna learn it.
Great video! Very easy to understand! I just subscribed! Keep it up!
I didn't even know the name of this effect so I couldn't search on google for it. Thanks so much!
Yaaass thank you! So good!
Awesome tutorial! My wedding photographer did this and I always wondered how she did a long exposure but kept the subject crisp, but it’s all the flash! Super cool, thanks for explaining that. I wonder if it’s at all possible to replicate this, even to some degree, with a built in flash?
Yeah, you should be able to get a similar look with the built-in flash as long as you drag the shutter. It just won't look as dramatic because you probably can't zoom the built-in flash to get that small oval of light.
You should also suggest using Rear Sync !
I’m shooting for a DnB night tonight. Looking forward to trying this!
Damn, I don't know where you came from...wait was it Chicago I saw in a vlog?. And I don't know who you are....Eric? But I'm only 3 videos in on your channel and already half of my questions and thoughts over the past few months have been answered. Absolutely psyched to see what else you bring out, Thanks for adding Value Eric! :)
Great. i do this 2 years before with camera flash.
Damn. Eric came through really quick with the follow up!
Stayed up til 5am to finish this haha
@@EricFloberg Thank you for all your hard work; it really shows!
great video mate!!! couple of things - could you use a grid on flash to narrow the beam? and secondly, do you recommend front curtain or rear curtain sync or does it not matter?
top!
Hi Eric! Great video! Were you using first\second curtain? Many thanks for putting this out! Cheers
nice tuto. I had heard rear curtain should be used. With 1/4sec shutter speed i often have blur people because there is enough light in party for camera to get the subject. I often use 1/125 or 1/160sec with good ambiance but cannot make streak effects like you of course.
So dang cool!
dude, thanks for the excellent video. I am just wondering what your flash mode setting is. Is it adjusted t slow sync or rear sync mode?
So you don't need to do rear curtain sync to do this? I don't think you mentioned that part, but maybe I missed it. Fun and informative video.
Pierre T. Lambert is in the video !!!!!!!!
Back button focus FTW
What about your focus? how are you nailing it? this is awesome by the way
Nice work! I finally found someone using similar technique of mine to shoot pictures. I called my technique as "Yee Technique". I have been searching for similar technique for more than 2 years. Lights and subjects were in motion, you captured them nicely. No doubt about it. But there is a little problem. The pictures were a little dark to me.(personal opinion, no harsh feeling) It would be better when you can figure out you can shoot the same technique with brighter result.
Awesome defiantly going to try this next time thank you
Do you dance on the dance floor at weddings?
I literally can't stop myself from dancing on the dance floor at weddings.
Hi right to say that in the video we miss the part where you hold the camera in an other light source to get these strings ? just moving the camera around will not creat that. So you fire and then within the next x/2 seconds you need to create the moments into a light source. Any behind the scene pictures for that what kind of light you used?
Camera disappear trick @ 6:50 - Magical Photographer LOL
Eric your the best new channel I’ve seen and I have good taste. One thing to add to your success. Make the Chanel a little more personal tell a small story every episode and ADD B-ROLL!!! You will be next peter McKinnon.
SOL SHALEM But what if he wants to be his own person? 🤷🏽♀️
Another insightful video, how is it that you don’t have more subscribers
Hoping to get more soon. ;) This past week has been huge with growth though!
great video, idk why im unable to wrap my head around how the faces/people are in focus with a 1/4 shutter. In my head im thinking everything should be blurry. Guess ill just experiment a bit.
With the lens. Do you set it as M or Auto? often lenses or camera takes time to lock down the subject focus then able to click the camera.
and if you do manual of lens. you can see if it's on focus or not.
thanks
Do you set your focus to manual or autofocus for this? Thanks!
Hi for the formal” normal “photos“ without tshaking camera effect , do you use the same settings ? Or the settings you showed it’s only for that effect ?
lower shutter speed make those light blur , i get it. But how the faces stay sharp with such a loц shutter speed?
The very short duration of the flash is what gives you a sharp image because the flash freezes the motion, and leaving the shutter open adds some blurry ambient light imagery to the photo, its kinda like 2 photos in 1 all done in camera, 1 photo is sharp and lit only by the flash, the other is all smeared and blurred from the ambient light
I liked this. Imho it would need to be peppered in with more traditional shots, as uou said. Do you do this using rear curtain flash so that any ghosting flows into the exposed subject?
Thank you! Yeah, I'm considering adding some supplemental back light this year. Always switching things up and getting better with the creative stuff every year! :)
I have a 6D, and it only has a 1 cross type focus point. Should i use that or should i use more points?
Just been trying this on my d750, on an external flash, but longer exposures about 3 or 4 seconds with a flash fired at the end and i still came out blurry?
Did you set the focus mode to auto-focus continuous or servo or lock focus?
i wonder if this is possible with off camera flash
Do you have your camera set to rear curtain sync to get those light effects?
i thought we have to use rear sync flash for this ! i was wrong ! :D
Hey! Is there a cheaper option (that you recommend) that works as well? 🥺
Can you please do some post-processing editing of some of your wedding photos? The lightroom/photoshop process
Coming soon!
Do you think that its posible to do this technique with the flash that is in the camara? :(
Great video! also, you look like you'd be Ben Afflicts youngest brother lol
Clicked só fast i broke my screen literally😂😂😂
I would be the one that whispers since you said it was ok lol
Hi, do you use the manual focus?
Do you use first curtain or rear curtain ?
I know I already commented, but I just finished watching the video. You have a real talent, Eric. Please keep it up with the videos! :)
Thanks so much for the support, Anthony!!
Of course, Eric! You had my support from the second you said (and I wish I could figure out which video it was in so I had it word for word) something along the lines of how sharing the skills and methods you have is more important to you than holding off the competition. As someone who’s 18, in his second year of photography, and looking to take it big places, people who are willing to share what they’ve learned mean the world to me and hold all my respect. So, thank YOU for the support. 🙃
Does image stabilization matter? (on lens)
I have a Cannon Rebel T7 and an Insignia external flash...for some reason flash will not fire if shutter is slower than 1/200 . I played with a bunch of setting and still cant figure it out. Any helpers on this subject?
When I've been doing this I'm getting almost a double exposure effect on the people further away from the flash, it's kinda ruining the photos, any way to mitigate this?
“Give me your social security number” 😂😂😂
what do you zoom your flash into
Is this with Rear curtain sync?
Excellent video. I think you could improve your audio slightly by removing some of the none sweet frequencies as theres a slight ring currently (You've probably done this in future videos anyway)
My brain is broken and I’m still confused as to how you get sharp photos with 1/4sec shutter speed. Would you be able to explain that or should I just trust that it’ll work when the time comes?? 😂 😅
