We need more of these natural light photographer talks!!!
👍
So helpful as a new photographer!! “Always expose for the highlights, and let the shadows take care of themselves” I’ll remember that
I love listening to people who are so knowledgeable about their craft. 😌
Wow, this reminded me why I loved photography and why it's so tedious working for clients using all that equipment...I love natural lighting.
👍
So nice to hear a pro say that on digital cameras, with all the settings, it's so important to double check ISO, WB, etc.
So true. We’ve all made those mistakes. Double check!
I admire a pro who is humble enough to admit to incompetence now and again. Plenty of people would never own up to the mistake of shooting all of those people at really high ISO.
I’m guilty of all the things Bob says are issues. I love this guy, I learn something new every time I listen to him.
Then you'll love his full course coming out soon silberstudios.mykajabi.com/bh-pre-launch
words of wisdom all photographers should not miss.. thanks
🙏
I wish there was more content like this on UA-cam.
Thanks but keep up with us and you’ll get it weekly ✌️
This was one of the best videos I’ve seen on photography
🙏🙏
Agreed about shooting in midday Sun , regardless of whether we are travelling or not time is a luxury . I'd sooner spend a hour or two trying to fing good composition and lighting in midday sun than pass on taking a picture because of difficult circumstances. I'm new to photography but even the most seasoned pros all agree that they are always learning something new .
Yes quite true!
Love this, totally resonate with Bob's way of seeing and shooting. Thanks Bob!
🙏
Most photographers: It's very hard to shoot in natural light. Let's use strobes to make shooting portraits easier.
Bob Holmes: I only shoot in natural light. Strobes are too complicated.
Seriously, this guy is the Chuck Norris of photography.
He IS amazing and you'll love his new class coming out soon!
That was fantastic, thanks!
Thank you!
Great interview, thanks again.
Thanks for watching

This is gold

Lovely ...... thank you!

This guy is amazing
He is, wait till u see his full course silberstudios.mykajabi.com/bh-pre-launch
natural lights especially semi-dark sky before rain is my favorite, everything has the same color-coding, great moments for black and white photos. that how I've won most of my awards
🙌
I once shot BW film on a beach in sunlight with an orange filter and it looked exactly like the sky before a thunderstorm.
@@arneheeringa96 as much as I like beach photos, they are a bit of a cliche, I tend not to take beach photos but I get what u saying 100%
Holmes = practical/pragmatic
It's a bit backwards compared to film where a lot of film stocks did well with highlights but shadows crushed easily so I would expose for the darker areas I wanted with the zone system in mind.
One thing I wish my Fuji's had is highlight priority for metering. I use a X-E3 and X-T3 along with a 50R. I generally just spot meter highlights mixed with blinkies. From experience and adapting/using the zone system I find important highlights, meter to preserve and then leave shadows and hard blown lights (mirror light reflections, things that naturally are blown out) alone. Not always, but usually.

Check out ETTR (Exposing to the right of your histogram)
is this a repost? I have the idea that I've seen this in the past
It’s a remastered combination of two videos with Bob focused on lighting
Great video and beautiful photos but strangely enough I had a kind of deja vu feeling.
👍
He talks about exposing for highlights and letting the shadows take care of themselves. Does he then say "as we did with film"? I thought it was the opposite with film. Expose for the shadows, develop/process the highlights.
I was wondering the same. I liked the video a lot, but those last words got me confused 😄
Excellent explanations and wonderful photos. I am curious whether Bob uses auto white balance and auto iso. Thanks
No on both. But wb can be adjusted in processing
Sweet. Have you done, or can you do a in depth video on copyright? Including what you can or can't publish, sell, ETC. from outside/public/street photography of Ppl, places, things, etc. This would be awesome!
It varies so much you it’s each country and even states or provenances it would be difficult. I tell people to check in their own area
@@marcsilber thx
👍
🙏👍
With in photo light such as the fire what is your recommendation for settings?
I have a series of photos I am working on of an individual by campfires. My typical settings depend on the illumination level of the flames, and also individuals skintone (lighter skin exposes with less open settings), typically I use a 50mm lens at about 1/60, f 2.5, Iso 3200 or 6400, but iso can come down depending on flame levels, if it's really bright you might be able to get to 800 or 1600. Best of luck.
0:10 learn it so you don't have to justify not learning it
I did, but I don't like strobes and flashes either. Bob and HCB apparently hated them so much they avoid them altogether, which is their choice.
Rembrandt is from the Netherlands not England ;-)
That’s not what he said. He said it’s called Rembrandt lighting but he didn’t really paint like that, there was an English painter who did.
Correct me if I am wrong but… both Vermeer and Rembrandt used natural light from windows (outside the picture frame) because that was the only light source they had. Rembrandt lighting is recognised by a lighter triangle on the cheekbone on the shadow side of the face. To my knowledge Rembrandt lighting is not related to having a light source inside the frame. The naming of these techniques are not important, the techniques themselves and the better result that you get are important. Like the shot taken in the barn which is an excellent example.
If only there was a way to see the photograph right after we clicked the shutter...um, wait...
Natty light is the best light
a Photography friend ,told me that I am not a "real photographer "because I don`t use a strobe .
Haha has nothing to do with it
@@marcsilber thank you much
"friend"
True
"miraculously the shots were fine" bro has no Idea how ISO works
Bro seems to know plenty bro.
He hates strobes, that doesnt sound right from a pro shooter. He could have said, i dont use strobe....anyway, thats just me.
He says why he hates them. He’s a natures light photographer
HCB hated them probably too. I too, but sometimes I use them. I hate tripods too.
