Great video! I love it that photographers are finally overcoming their fears of high ISO. I shoot at high ISO on my camera and I am comfortable shooting clients all the way up to 12800 if the need presents itself. One tip I usually give to people struggling with high ISO noise is to expose the shadows (and the overall image) reasonably. Noise mainly occurs in the shadowy areas and leaving the shadowy areas underexposed may create a disturbing amount of noise at high ISO. I find that on my camera, I can torture the shadows (leave them underexposed) till about ISO 3200 before I have to start attempting to expose them properly. Keep up the great work buddy!
Txs finally for these good videos about dance photography. I still struggle with how and were to focus when a dancer makes a jump. Do you also have a video about that theme.
Hi, I love your work I often like to study the camera settings you use and the available light. Would be helpful to me (and maybe others) if you left the settings up on the screen for an extra 2 second; long enough to freeze the video for study. Thanks.
My gosh I watch a lot of youtube photographers and you are one of the best out there your pictures are beautiful, I am surprised that I have not seen you before. UA-cam can do things strangely
@@Hkvisuals Whatever makes you happy but thank you, you have inspired me I am collaborating with someone this weekend she is not a dancer but you have given me some ideas
I love your videos. You really have a style true to yourself. Fantastic photos! When I don't have enough light with is often I use 2 Profoto B1. Can't live without them. Lately I had to do a portrait session of a chef and had to travel light. Only a camera and two lenses and a foldable reflective screen I also used bake paper to lessen the flourecsent light. I like to shoot by a window if I have no flash though I think some reflective material is nessecary to not get to dark eyes.
I learn a tremendous amount from your videos. Now I finally know what to use my wide angle lens for. Can you tell me what tripod you use to get the camera, so low to the ground?
Today everyone is excited by the capabilities of present cameras and their high-tech sensors. Companies advertise for the low-noise quality in high ISO areas. So why not make use of those state-of-the-art functions and push ISO to higher levels? That seems to be exactly what fotographers have always been waiting for! Thanks for that important topic! Use higher ISO, if it promotes your creativity and brings the overall results, you have in mind. Thank you for your great work and those inspirational videos and fotographs!!!

It's better to crank up the ISO than lower shutter speed, thing is some cameras have limitations, like D3100 i have, any photo that goes over 800 ISO have too much noise.
I get too much noise at any ISO above 3200 (old camera), so my options are somewhat limited. Fortunately, most of the subjects that I photograph either don't move or move slowly.
¿What I do in low light? Look for some lightsource. Lamplights give us more light tan I first expected. no, actually, when in low light what first I do is to cry, trying nobody can seeme do it. After, look for some lamp light or something. To work with very open f. I think my style is with fuzzy backgrounds. I prefer defocused backgrounds tan to fight with 1000 images plenty of noise…

Just shot a dance concert, because of this video I cranked up the ISO for the first time ... wow....thank you

Petra Teeuwsen thank you! I haven't made a video on how and whete to focus dancers yet... 😉 might be the subject of a future one!
A beatiful break down of the process....thank you for sharing that. Also, the final images are amazing. Keep creating mate.
Thank you! I will ;)

I don't do enough click bait stuff... that's why!

Your videos and images are brilliant, so thank you for sharing your techniques. [Fan from the UK]
Thanks Paul, Doing my best to share my knowledge, if you can get anything from it I am super happy!

It still amazes me, every time I see people being so positive about my work, Thanks a lot for your comment!
Wonderful breakdown. I do more concert dance and love to see how you handle that....
I also do Live performances from time to time... 2 different ways of working ;) Thanks for stopping by.
maestro , i have the Light Storm LS-mini 20 with barn doors, can i use this type of lamps to freeze motion? Best regards from Norway
Not really, if you use continuous lights you will have to rely on your shutter speed to freeze motion...
It's better to crank up the ISO than lower shutter speed, thing is some cameras have limitations, like D3100 i have, any photo that goes over 800 ISO have too much noise.
What type of tripod do you use?
May I know what body camera do you use for these shot, and where did it take place guy?
Rome and I used the Canon 5DIII
terrific
Nice T-Shirt bro
I miss that t shirt!
Thank you!
You are welcome !
Any tips on shooting a Dance Show with a Nikon D3300 55mm f1.8 lens? No flash
I also would like tips on this. It doesn't handle noise too well from my experience.
I get too much noise at any ISO above 3200 (old camera), so my options are somewhat limited. Fortunately, most of the subjects that I photograph either don't move or move slowly.
Of course, it depends on your camera's capabilities... Most recent models handle noise pretty well and it's getting better each year! ;)

How do you use white balanse inside the ballet Theater?
Shoot a grey card before your shoot or set custom white balance according to your location!
Yo...song playing at the 8:00 min mark...what is it? It is dope!

Very nice vid. I've sub'd. I enjoyed trying to puzzel out out settings.
MrLemonbaby welcome to my channel! If you learned something = mission complete 😉
i still love OCF
I still do too :D
💕💕💕
Good content, but the music is really distracting and too loud.
Watch my recent videos I have dialed it down... this is old now
