Thanks for the great video. I have a question, is there a way to figure out which images you have sent, so that when downloading the card, these images have a mark or something? and then you can keep the RAWs, and ditch the rest. I know you can rate them, but I am looking for a different way, as to rate I need both hands, and two actions. Thanks again

So graceful, erotic and calming.

I’ve taught photographic lighting for years with a background in photography which start back in the 1970s mastering Adams Zone system which made me realize OPTIMAL exposure of any scene occurs TECHNICALLY when the output medium (slide, print or monitor) displays ‘seen by eye’ detail everywhere. The limiting factor in getting optimal exposure with digital cameras is that the range of a CROSS-LIT sunny scene on clear day exceeds the range of the sensor requiring compromise when setting exposure with the choice being correctly exposed highlights with corresponding loss of detain in the shadows, or rendering the detail in the shadow but at the cost of sacrificing highlight detail. The solution to that dilemma is to find ways to reduce the contrast of the scene lighting. The most effective method of prayer-praying for an overcast day. The lighting will not be as dramatic as a clear sunny day but your photos will have detail in all the jerseys and faces hidden in the helmets. A solution on a clear sunny day is to shoot with the sun directly behind you. Again the lighting is not as dramatic as cross-lighting but the scene contrast is lower in flat light and less shadow detail will be lost if exposing for highlights and ‘splitting the difference” and losing a bit of detail on both ends becomes a viable option. Shooting into the sun also works if blowing out the sunlit background isn’t a problem. An example of that would be a photo taken looking up where the sky is the blown out background. In 1972 when I was twenty years old I apprenticed with and shot weddings for Monte Zucker who introduced the uses of dual flash with fill on a bracket over the lens and off camera key light on a rolling stand (actually a modified medical IV pole). Raising an on-camera flash out of the hotshoe on a bracket so flash head is 16-18” above the lens creates flattering downward modeling on full face portraits and becomes ideal fill light when adding a second off camera flash. Technically it allows a photographer to CHANGE SCENE RANGE/CONTRAST to match the range of the sensor. If shooting with just a single flash on a bracket outdoors I put the sun to the back of subjects and set shutter speed and ISO to keep sunlit white clothing and skin at least 1/3 stop below the clipping warning then adjust flash power (manual or ETTL) to keep the front of the white clothing 2/3 stop under clipping. This creates a contrast gradient of clipping specular highlights which contrast with the sunlit white clothing / skin with it contrasting with the ‘shaded’ side in front which the flash added over the ambient at a similar angle lifts. If shooting static portraits where the off camera flash can be the strategy is similar but instead of acting as the “key” light for modeling the front side the flash over the camera acts as fill and its power need to be set base on the shadow detail not the highlights with the power of the second flash being the one adjusted for correct highlights. I always carry black and white hand towels for setting flash in advance of portrait shoots. I drape them over a stand to create 3D shape to read the light in sunny backlight setting shutter/ISO/aperture to keep the sunlit parts of the white one 1/3 stop under clipping. The flash on camera is adjusted until I can see detail in the black one, and the off axis KEY flash until the highlights it creates over the ambient and sky fill are 1/3 stop darker than the sunlit highlights or 2/3 stop under the clipping warning in the playback. All it takes is a few test shots to set the lights and then any clothing and face ranging from as black as the black towel and as white as the white one will be exposed OPTIMALLY with ‘seen by eye’ detail everywhere and few if any unfilled dark voids because the flash is centered over the lens capturing the image.

super nice tips, thanks

I was nominated for this video and I have rarely seen anything so good related to sports photography. I have been photographing American football in Brazil since 2014 and I have always spoken to photographers who are references in the field, looking for tips and ways to improve. Even with all this time photographing, it's never too late to learn something new or improve. Thanks for the video.

What monopod do you use? Do you screw it directly into the lens foot or do you have a head and quick release plate? I’m concerned the screw in won’t be secure enough.

This is great, thank you. I have found and issue when connecting to my iPhone hotspot. The camera connects to the iPhone and I get a solid green light on the back of the camera and the iPhone shows a connected device but as soon as I try to transfer an image the camera loses connection to the iPhone, the transfer fails and the light on the back of the camera flashes green then red. Any ideas?

Do you use the compressed RAW option?

Did he lock that stand before he walked away ? hmm.. ;-)

I have been hammerIng my RF10-20mm @ 10mm 99% of the shots, for 6 month now. I can shoot perspectives my colleagues cannot. Absolutely sharp as a tack @ 10mm and corrected in DPP, but, I do not correct the minimal distortion. This gives me 9mm. This lens is not beaten atm.

Great review and photos.

Excellent presentation.Well done and thank you.

This is pure gold¡¡ here´s a new follower

59:56 valuable content and information throughout the entire video, no doubt. But I’m really curious about the lens/camera combination here.

Oh my gosh! The Card rename trick and the filename meta is smart! you have no clue how many times, it's the middle of the night and I'm looking at a card and comparing if it's already cataloged!

Name, model, type body

This has been awesome to see how a major university photographs their athletes. Question though, what are your settings on the camera and strobes as you do studio pictures like this?

Great stuff. Thank you. Would love to see the walkthrough video.

Bravo! Thanks for sharing all your expertise, yours is for certain one of the most professional and thorough videos on Sport Photography. I was very pleased by the short analysis of your teamwork practices; is there any way you can go deeper into that on a dedicated video? Thanks again and great work!

You’re probably not still answering questions here…. But I’ll try anyway. Any ideas how to speed up the transfer? Yours looked like 10seconds, the fastest I’ve ever gotten is closer to 60… which is kind of unmanageable. Let me know and thanks!!

Thanks for me teach video and photos

Finally seeing the output of ur flash on the remote is a game changer 🤣🤣🤣? You do know Godox have been doing that for almost 10 years right?

love this explaination!

wouldnt your phone hotspot be easy since nothing to bring but ur phone and use that ?

Excellent video!! Which Think Tank shoulder bag did you have in the video?

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

wow finally a photgraphy channel that with info that is very helpful to lots of people, thank you for the service you provide here on youtube , I'm now a subscriber.

Extremely difficult watch man, these photos suck!

This is absolutely the best and most informative sports video that I've seen. Thanks for doing this.

Thanks

Excellent video with really useful exemples!

Fantastic learning video, I really enjoyed all the info. Thank you!

This was pretty awesome!! Great creativity with the "glass" and how the players bust through it!! Great job team!!

Name this remote, please!

I've seen many basic discussions of this, but yours was to the point and well subsidized by visual examples. I've only been using a strobe for 4 months, but I read up on this and put it into practice nearly immediately (testing it out visually for myself). The one thing I haven't seen anyone do yet, is talk about the limitations of the inverse square law and exceptions of when it doesn't really apply. Question: "Larger small groups" - what is this? and how would using a small light source further away (harder light) be better than a larger source closer, modified, and feathered? Thanks for an excellent video and taking the time to produce it.

This is awesome! i wish I knew about this when I was shooting a lot more. If it could take a SIM card, it would be perfect.

Amazing results ! I wanted to know what gear do u use to stream photos in a wireless way on the big screen and on the ipad in the same time ?

How many times can you say “good” on a shoot?

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. I would love to start incorporating this in my own shoots.

How can you mark images to be uploaded once you have a wired connection? In other words, Shoot and mark images as you go then walk over to a ethernet wire and plug in and "let it eat".

12-24mm 2.8 GM

If One get one that it can use with smartphone? Flash should be useful with smartphone Bluetooth or wireless connection. 😢

Wow. congarts! let me ask you about your focus point election? how many points? About your focus point selection, fully automatic? or do you choose zone focus?

Hey, thanks for all the great content on your channel! How do you trigger that remote camera, can you make a video about it? Thanks and greetings from Germany

How useful is this as an everyday use lens?

Really enjoyed the video and I learned alot!

This was so informative. You have a dream job I edit just like you.

Oh my god, that was gold. The best explanation I’ve seen on this subject

Do you know if I could use a remote setup like you use, for two different camera brands? I have a Pentax K3 III and a Canon R6 M2. Both accept wired remotes but I don't know the remotes are brand specific. Thanks!

The AF is effected by a 50% empty battery? 😂😂😂😂😂 Canon😂😂😂😂😂 No Photoshop is a non destructive software. Don't speak about it if you dont know about it. With modern mirrorless cameras, you don't need backbutton focus. Everything you said I can do with one button. Ok, with Sony, maybe Canon is not good enough
