I bought a basic light meter. It helps a lot. I really liked your work discipline phrase. Accomplishing something is not that important, what holds more importance is how you do it, your approach.
There is so much to learn and learned individuals like you who are ready to share their knowledge and experiences are a blessing.
Regards.
Excellent educator and one of the best videos on the actual use of a flash meter. The computer / histogram instant results and photos are invaluable for seeing the results. Very well done - Thank you!
🙏
Such great advice! I bought two light meters that I walked around with before I ever got a DSLR, and still have more meters (3) than camera bodies (2).
When you meter, and therefore know, the ratios between lights and shadows you can begin to collect recipes and then accurately REPEAT them again in the future. It sure beats guessing all over again each and every time.
I know so many people that want to just look at their LCD screen or tethered screen and then just guess their way to a pleasing picture. What I say is this, lighting ratios do EXIST whether you want to acknowledge their existence or not. It is like gravity. You may not want to acknowledge gravity, but it DOES exist. If you do not think so then just.... jump. And then see what happens.
So with lighting ratios, they always exist. Why not then make use of instruments to record those ratios so that you know what they are? Why not? They are there. Record them so that you can repeat them.
Oh, well. Some people are just not interested, I guess.
If you ever want to send your "old" 758 meter to a good home.... I know an address. :-)
Wilson Newman 😅👍 Thank you very much Sir for adding all those points which I seems to have missed. You also have explained it very beautifully! Would you like to write Blogs for us? Our website is getting ready. Will wait for your reply 🙏 😊
PIXEL VIILAGE Thank you for the compliment, and your service to the photography community. I sent an email to the contact email on this UA-cam channel. Thank you!
Wilson Newman Thank you Sir... Just got back home after being on the road for a week. Will be in the studio tomorrow. Will check and revert. Thank you again... 🙏 😊
I am impresses by how stable and patient the model is. jokes apart, amazing video yet again
Fantastic tutorial! You are a great teacher! I used to be a motorbiker, but now I want a light meter! Thank you! :-)
No-one ever died falling off a flashmeter.
You sir are a godsend for enthusiast photographers... Respect and Thank you !!!!
Somnath Chakraborty agreed
🙏🙏🙏

I like the way you communicate. Nice. samjhanne ke lie bahut shukria!
Such a great teacher. Thank you!
that MOTORBIKE outro line!!!! YOU KILLED IT SIR!! HAHA... I am getting mine tomorrow {flashmeter that is}
That explains a lot in detail at least for an amateur like me. This is the eye of a photographer. Really informative ! Thanks Pixel village , this is really an eye opener. Keep going !
Invaluable knowledge shared here. My first light meter was the Sekonic L-758D and I have now upgraded to the L-858D. One of the best investments in photography gear I have ever made. Great for flash photography and a great edition to my landscape too. Thanks for the video.
👍
Guruji, Simplest explanation by you is a true testimony of how much command and control you possess. You make light obey as you want. I am following your lessons. Thanks.
got to give it to the chap - i really love his presentation style. supremely easy to watch.
👍
I have the same meter you used, except with the -U at the end, and it has been sitting unused because I have no idea how to use it. This is the first video that offers some insight into it, so thank you.
I watched this all the way just because of the accent
:DDDDD
Finally I can learn a lot about how to use a flash meter.
Thank you for the tutorial video about flash meter.
I have used a meter for 6 years now and it is helpful just to get the understanding of how much light is coming from a certain direction. If you got reflectors which can't be moved, it gives by time a better view of the situation and what to do. Learning by doing is the only way to get the tech in place. Then, you can focus on the real work - the photo.
I love Pixal Village videos…such a nice man and great photographer!!!
🙏
Very good video. Do you need a flash meter? YES YOU DO!!! I believe all photographers should have a flash meter.
I got 4 meters !
@@LennyCooke636 Really!!! WOW!!!! I thought about buying me another one. I have the Sekonic L-878D-U like he is using here. I thought about buying the Sekonic L-308X-U FLASHMATE Light Meter. Replace my old L-308S-U with the L-308X-U FLASHMATE Light Meter
Thanks, great work! Perfect
Love all your videos and so when I got my new Sekonic light meter I cam here first. I was watching then at 3:20 it kind of sounded like you were politely saying "okay" to your model and caught me off guard and made me laugh! Thanks for that too!
I have to agree with Simon Matthews. Fantastic tutorial. Very well paced, explanations given with the examples, good reviewing and descriptions.
I'm a new subscriber as well as just 'liking' the video itself.
Thanks enormously for your time and patience.
🙏
Fantastic sir, I had been waiting for years for this kind of well narrated video about using Flash meters, and practically showing how it is used in a studio. Thanks a ton.
🙏🙏🙏
ua-cam.com/video/9Q50mVWvnQ8/v-deo.html
AWESOME 👍👍👍
Great video. I went for a light meter tutorial, ended up learning how to light with three sources. Thank you for making this!
Happy to hear that 👍
Very good explanation sir!!!
Do you need a flash meter? Well the question should be do you need eyes to see? Flash meter is a photographer's eye by which they starts capturing the world as per their visualization. Informative video for those who struggle why their images do not have that punch as compared to selected few whom they idealize.
Ranjan Sharma Well said. 🙏 😊
Guruji Radha Krishnan🙏I bow down for your wisdom and sharing the knowledge.
Well explained.. thank you sir
As always, best video / guide 👌👏👏
Man.....! This is the second video of yours i was watching, as it was in the description of one your latest videos and I really like the way you explain things so clearly. I work for TSP, UK on P&O cruise lines and surely your videos are gonna teach me a lot. Your video are already been shared to my company among our group as it would very helpful for all of us. Keep doing this wonder full work.
And i did buy a light meter instead of the bike.. ..Thank you
Happy to hear that 😊👍
love you man for making these kind of videos
You may not be able to make good money out of these videos, but pls don't stop doing these videos. It will help ammature and enthusiastic photographers like me

Wonderful explanation, thank you so much! I recommend this!

Very informative Rad, I use a flash meter but have not been doing it correctly, I have learned the correct way from you.
Many thank's Tony Leurs.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank a lot for unreeling the mystery behind this small wonder gadget.
Have always wondered and was behind to know more about this gadget,
searching online, but, happy now I am to come across the right content
which explains what I just needed. Thanks again.
Eagerly awaiting the next video on features.
Will have one for the next Wedding Season (August).
Motorbikes mean nothing for a passionate shooter 😎

Thank you for teaching us in a nice easy way ⛩
Grazie per i tuoi video sono molto educativi, spero tanto di vedere anche un video outdoor con il sole. Un saluto dal Italia
As usual great informative video.... Thank uuu Sir ..!!!
Every time I need something, You create a video on this exact matter at the same week :-) Amazing sir!
Sharon Leibel 😇 Happy to hear that 😊🙏
My pleasure
Thanks sir....
Sir this video is useful for professional & commercial photographers . pls cover your vast majority of viewers also who lack such equipments & accessories. Give some tips on wildlife & street photography also. Although youtube has all sorts of tutorials on almost every issue. I like your tutorials as they are informative & useful.
You can use a lot more cheaper gear with almost the same efficiency. Buy a some YongNuo flashlights, some lightstands, some umbrellas and you're in. As a flashmeter you don't need the latest and fancy 858-series. For incident light/flashlight metering you will be satisfied with much cheaper 308-series model from Sekonic.
Absolutely. 👍
Sir aap photography guru great talent parsan great sir tq
You’re a great teacher and I usually have hard time focusing with a teacher who has an Indian accent, not you Sir.
I need to watch this 1000 times to understand this lool so much science with that thing
it’s not hard. Mainly you need to meter for your subject and lock it down in camera for that reading. The rest is just filling in additional lights for fill or highlights. Fill lights will mostly be a stop down or two from your main reading depending how dark you want your shadows to be. Your highlights will always be a 1-2 stops higher than your main reading. that’s all.
your videos never disappoint
The good news for me, thanks to this gentleman, is it looks like I only need to trigger one flash at a time with my old flash meter !
Thank you. Sir.
Fantastic! Told me everything I needed
Excellent ! For a long time, i haven't find any experts in Nikon like you. Your products are very informative and useful. I have difficulty in filmming because nikon's focus on filming quite bad . Hope someday you will make tutorial making film with Nikon
Nice one
It’s really...amazing.sir.
A gift is always well accepted.But I am not very lucky and I am not good in write honey words.You already give me a gift with your videos and convincing me to get the AD600PRO and Nikon D850.Watching the videos I saw some gears in the studio like the P90H so I bought that too with no reviews but knowing You have good gears.I wait next lesson more than a gift.I am not Indian Kabir Bedi is my childhood pirate hero.
Kabir Bedi 😂👌🙏
Very informative. Always wondered what they did under model chins.
:-D
Nice tutorial
Great video
One thing i couldn't understand, if you have continuous light and flash light both in softbox?
Can we get aperture value like camera of the ambient light, be it natural of any continuous light?
great boss
Thank You very much sir... for sharing your Knowledge and also most thankfull to the way you are explaining
sir Please plan to make video about our indian wedding photography, equipment & Lighting setups used in different situations will be most helpfull to us...
hey thnks for the tuturiel. and i have a question is godox have a compatible ligthmeter i searched about didn t find anything
great video great explanation
Αgree....
I understand that the first lightmeter test says F/11, which means that the amount of light from the strobes will fit perfectly if you set the aperture to f/11 on the camera, but please help me understands how the rest of the lightmeter infomation helps anything when the camera still is on f/11. I dont get it.
All videos are Superb.
A small Suggestion,
the second camera (Angle) is disturbing from main thing in your videos, I think the main camera is enough
Great video. Have one question. How do you keep separate F value for different lights?
well explained
Nice one..
Hi sir when we shoot a video it will look different in different phone screens. So does light meter gives a standard quality and colour for every screen in different phone screens???
When are you going to go through the features of the Sekonic L-858D meter? You said in this video that you planned to do so. Thanks.
will sekonic speed master l-858d work with godox ad600 ?
Yes... though I suspect you are trying to ask a different question.
Sir will u plzz tell me that application used in the above video for photos editing purpose....
👍
Hi Sir, may i know the shutter speed you were at?
what software are you using on the computer to see the histogram?
Is there any application to meter the flash. Thanks.
Is it not possible to manage with the histogram to keep within the dynamic range, if we dont mind more trial and error?
Of course. That's the best way. Do not blindly trust the what you see in the LCD.
Thanks for such a wonderful tutorial, this made me to purchase a sekonic l-308x flashmate. Got a quick question, how to ensure the light meter is calibrated to my camera. Thanks in advance.
OK, im still new at this Photography thing and slowly getting a grasp of f-stops and such. But you said you want your key light to be within 3 stops of the fill. but set the key light to F11 and the fill to F4 isn't that much more than three stops? Or am i misunderstanding something about stops?
Ah, I see now... An aperture stop is not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 but defined differently.
Nice Job! Thank you
🙏🙏🙏
"Food for your thought" how about making a video for wedding/ceremonial functions using umbrella/soft box with the ideal reading for small/medium/large size halls.
ua-cam.com/video/9Q50mVWvnQ8/v-deo.html
If you use multiple lights in your portraits then learn to meter and understand the effect each light has on the subject with a light meter. Before your subject even sits for a portrait you can nail the exposure and look you are looking for and you and your subject will be stress free....no fiddling back and forth as you adjust your lights. The only thing I disagree with is the exposure for the accent or kicker light. A light coming from behind the subject is always brighter than the light towards the subject and the great Frank Crichio ( I'm old school) suggested that the exposure for that light be the same as the fill light. Too often I see the kicker light way too bright.
Thank you Sir... You are right. When you work with White Skin and Light coloured hair, that may be the case. But for Darker skin and Jet Black hair, a brighter light may be required. Perhaps I should have mentioned it! Thanks again for pointing it out.🙏
What if some one wants use flash but at the same he want blur the background but the flash meter showing f5.6 in this aperture is not possible to make background blur,then how ?? And what to do? Please reply
There are two ways.
1. Add more diffusion to the light.
2. If you don't like diffused light, use a Neutral Density filter on the camera to reduce the light. 👍
@@PIXELVIILAGE Hi, if you want to shoot with a lower aperture for a blurry background is it also OK to move the flash lights back so that the light isn't as bright on the subject (therefore allowing you to use a lower aperture)?
@@Anonymous-zw1gd thanks both of you Sir.
If you move the light away from the subject, you will naturally loose the intensity. But the quality of and feel the light will change drastically due to less 'Light Fall-off' 🙏
"The Obedient model" Term has lots of story behind.
Asusual Awesome ❤️❤️
fantastico como sempre. didatica perfeita
Obrigado senhor :-)
What makes the key light, the key light? I just assumed that the key light would be the brightest light but you said that the rim light has to brighter?
Key lights also called main light is not always brightest because it falls directly on Model..fill.light covers shadow
And rim light covers the background and create a sepration of Model from background....
Hello from land of Yousuf Karsh -Canada. I must compliment on you making these video tutorials, you are indeed a natural teacher and very talented, I admire how you are able to remove the chaff from real stuff. Do you have a photography school ? Anyway you have earned my subscription in no time , look forward to more interesting tutorials.
I do have a naive question.
In your given scenario if ISO and Shutter Speed are constant (and so is the distance of Key /Fill light) and if your Key light gives you F11 for proper exposure, then for Fill if the reading is F5.6 ....you have basically opened the aperture 2 stops, which means 4 times more light is being allowed, then wont the Fill side be now overexposed. What am I missing and misunderstanding ? God Bless....Thank You
Good job, Can you explain or make a video on How to tether a light meter with different lights like elinchrom, profoto, broncolor with using remote and without using remote, Thanks.
Can you tell me how this will be useful in wedding events? One cannot go on metering different situation and lighting condition specially in case of candid shots? Throw some light on this please
very informative :)
Well Said Sir :)
Key is f/11 , so need 1 to 2 stop brighter for RIM light , so how f/16 reading is correct from meter ( key light is f /11, isnt reduced light at f/16 power
?
Is it all your work in portrait photography? Nothing about landscape, cityscape or else?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir.
Sir, please create a video for getting good skin tones from Nikon cameras on indoor lighting.
Anoop Sundaran it vastly depends on the choice of our lenses, the exposure, the aperture, the ambient light and the color temperature of the light source.
Before shooting make sure you either cut the ambient light or shoot at an aperture that doesn't expose for the ambient. I prefer f8. None of the lights i own have the microfarads to go beyond f8.
I forgot to mention, do not shoot next to coloured walls as those colors will bleed on to your subject.
