Thanks for this video: I'm a photojournalist, and many times I'm shooting a photo of a person or group in their work areas, and this tutorial is very helpful!
In one video he says 1/125, f11 ambient and f8 flash is 30% flash contribution, which makes sense. In this video he says for 1/60 f5.6 ambient and f6.3 flash is 30% flash contribution (see 12:00-12:30). Just don't get it, can someone explain please...?
I think you mixed up on the first sentence.. I bet he was saying - or at least meaning that if the reading without flash results in f8 and with flash at f11 it equals to 30% flash contribution. In other words the sum of the light giving f11 results from the ambient f8 plus additionally the flash bringing the light from f8 -> f11 so 1/3 of a stop ergo 30%. Hope that helps.
@@SekonicGlobal ok but if you must have iso 100 and shalow deep of field 2.8 you have only the shutter speed left that control the ambient light. The flash power will not change.
The flash power will not change if you don't change it. Correct. The exposure of the flash will only change if you change your Apeture or you shutter speed outside of the sync speed of your camera.
@Sekonic yes thats correct but in my earlier question was if you determine the iso and aperture, what's left is shutterspeed, the diamond exposure and that is awesome because you only need to change the shutter speed up or down to your liking and nothing else 😉
What meter are you using? This is not an attempt to get a sale. But we must be honest with you, there is no easy way to get a percentage of flash contribution reading without purchasing a meter that has this functionality. It would involve taking two separate readings and then plugging them into a equation. Feel free to review this article which gives an explanation of how to calculate this. fatphil.org/photography/flash_contribution.html
i just got the Sekonic L-758DR meter i live at the beach so i do a lot of sunset photos how would i meter for a sunset and a person i will be using a speed flash do i meter the sunset then the flash thanks for you help Mike

Joe Brady is one of the most informative and professionally creative photographers on UA-cam... cheers, mate!

Very educational,best I've seen so far.......beautiful model too
Do you think about the light ratios of the hair and background lights compared to the key light in manual?
Trying to figure out how to tether my light meter to my flash system so I can take proper reading.

For Portraits, what model Sekonic light meter do I require?
🤘🤘🤘Great!!!
Thanks!
what was the flash gun you are using with the 10% to 100% testing outside
I thought the shutterspeed took care of the ambient light and not the f-stop?
F-Stop, Shutter Speed and ISO will all effect the exposure of ambient light.

Good informative videos but why is the video quality (resolution) so low? 360?????
my sekonic doesnt give percentages. how can i figure out the percentage of flash contribution?
