    I’ve been telling myself that there aren’t enough “quality” OCF BTS videos w/ great storytelling out there and been wanting to make some myself. Watching this video was not only perfect timing, but let me know that I gotta do them now. Manny, thank you so much for being a true inspiration to us all. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Great job Manny!!! , the results are fantastic, the fact of moving a few centimeters the flash gives totally different results.
    Special mention for Elizabeth, she's really beautiful and excellent as a model, great job!!!
    Also the surroundings of the photos and obviously the whole of the natural light and the flash give the perfect frame for those magnificent portraits.
    Thank you for showing us the details of your work, from shooting parameters to the work for each photo composition....

    I've been using the Variable ND RF to EF adapter on Canon R5 now and loving it. I don't have to shoot at 8000th and can get the full power out of my flash by not hitting HSS. I used Variable ND's before but having it at my fingertip like another control on the camera itself has just been great. And it works with all EF L glass.

    Hi Manny. These shots look fantastic. Unfortunately, one problem that I see with using flash outside is that the pictures tend to look like collages, when the light on the subject differs from the light in the environment.

  • @one901
    @one901 2 роки тому +36

    I dig these but the only thing I don’t like about OCF is the unrealistic flash pop. For me maybe a little less flash power would work. They just end up looking like hose OG Glamour Shots from back in the day when I do it lol. In sunny conditions, the strobe works well.

    • @RockyMaiviaMiami

      Agreed. It looks great but unnatural. Makes the background look fake. It's easier to use outdoor flash as a fill light. Look up Muse Chan, he's a master at using outdoor flash as a key light.
