Also, would have liked to have seen better the angle of the half of the V-flat that was bouncing light back into the subject. Great stuff. Thanks-Greg.

    No need for old school lighting ratio more light a "little less" so eye ball guestimation will work. Please just add a light meter meter the main meter fill and see exactly how much fill it yield what shape come of it when you move your V Flat in and out. Ratio 3:1 no guessing. Clone out the dividing seams line on his black V Flat

  • @jjaylad

    Great tutorial. Just wondering what advantage a 90mm macro has over say an 85mm 1.8 if shot at 2.8. The need for a 'macro' is what I'm curious about. Thx

    • @shifteleven
      @shifteleven 4 роки тому

      Probably none here. Use what you have. Maybe he doesn't have an 85 - hence the 90.
      Edit: I watched more. Using the macro allows him to get in tight with the second shot. The 85 might be able to do it...but it depends on the particular 85 and it's minimum focus distance. With a macro, you don't need to worry about a min focus distance for portraits.

    • @jjaylad
      @jjaylad 4 роки тому +1

      @@shifteleven Thanks. I use a full frame 85 1.8 on a crop sensor, so easy to get close ups ...from a slight distance.

    • @JaredRibic
      @JaredRibic 4 роки тому

      I'm also wondering if he's shooting a medium format body or a full-frame 35mm equivalent.
      That will make a difference on what angle of view the 90mm lens will show.
      The only thing that I didn't understand is why the hand was cut off on the first model, probably planning to crop further in post.

      I've shot with APS-C and full frame. Fujifilm and Nikon. It doesn't matter. You don't need to go over 24mp. Get yourself a good piece of glass for whatever camera your using. 50mm is a great start for portraits. Dive deep into increasing your editing skills. Study LR and photoshop like a madman. Not sure if you new to photography and I hope I'm not insulting you :)
