I have Quantum Radio Slave 4i’s and I also use Nikon’s CLS a lot.

Greg, What wireless radio transmitter/receiver do you use?

But Adobe has only done what the public wants…

Now I know what i have been doing wrong…. sprayin’ n prayin’!! Love it Greg. Thanks very much – great video and great tips. I have subscribed!

Actually sir, i was gonna put some more rant ontop of your rant. I fully agree with your point and i see it everyday, when i have to fix shots made by “pro’s”. But i think Adobe has some of the responsibility, because they made it so easy for guys like me to take some amatuers picture and make it look pro!
As you said yourself further down the comments: 15y ago people wanted to learn photography! Now they just spray and pray!

Funny you say that since all the photos in this tutorial were edited in Adobe Lightroom exclusively, no retouching or modifications in Photoshop at all.

heil photoshop

great video. simple explanation easy for me to understand as a beginner

You have two options exposure bracketing then fix the windows in post or use off camera flash to fill the room. The latter produces a much better result… flic.kr/p/br548V

i mostley do landscapes and use grads. i should have made myself more clear. a good example i should have used is a window in a room. i can get the room perfect but the window will be too bright. or window exposed right and room too dark. is this where i have to start using exporure bracketing, or would you say time of day is a better choice? cheers

I agree although its tough to find people who will share their photos on YouTube only to have them ripped to shreds….

This is another one of your great and informational videos, man. Thanks for making it and talking about probably the most basic aspect of photography: painting with light. That said, I wish you’d put some photos that show how NOT to do it; what you DON’T want to go for as a good photographer. I just feel that seeing that contrast between good and bad photos can be educational.

I agree I’m one of those people who have an advance Camera with Expensive Lens and Expensive Flash and I had no Clue how to Use it.
but I be havin some of those Good shot and nice shots I still need to Study how to do some Night Shots Spacially inside the Night Club or Concert. Im having Trouble with that

Are you shooting landscapes? If so try using graduated neutral density filters. They will darken the sky while leaving the foreground alone. If not you will have to recompose the photo and keep the sun at your back to get the dark blue sky.

1-800- SEE THE LIGHT LOL! Call now operators are waiting….

great vid man. very informative, cheers. im having problems with light. im having problems ballancing the light. if i want to take a photo of the foreground, the brightness of the sky clips or if i try n compensate for the sky, the foreground is too dark



If I’m not mistaken, the video is framed via the Rule of Thirds…

I thought it odd too, but it’s honest. If he didn’t think was great, why would he show it?

OTOH, a lot could be learned from examples of bad lighting. Greg?

solid fundimentals, easily forgotten. Composition starts with lighting.

Agreed! My intention of this video was to remind people how important light is in photographs.

I just want to say it is all down to experience. Sometimes I can not explain how I see my light to other people even though I taught them all the essantial techniqnes. sometimes I just be able to see the light without even knowing how.

This video says it all… youtube. com/watch?v=jnLDa0TuW64

are you a friend of Jared Polin? I thought I saw you in one of his videos….

Hey Greg, thanks for sharing you knowledge. Is interesting how I can see basic mistakes in my own photos after watch your videos.
