Thanks!

You would yes! So you could use less strobe and use them more than once depending on the power setting. I’ll have to play with that once I get the a9iii!

Thank you!

Check out the video at about 4:40 and Matt shows how to set the sequence on the FJ 400 :). Right before my EPIC behind the scenes video 🤣 - Thanks for watching Matt had a lot of fun making this shot!!

Thanks Jake! Yeah you set the sequence in order of when you want them all to fire. Thanks for watching! And yes, your video WAS epic, Jake hahaha.

@@jakefromJ7 I get it now. Thanks.

Thanks for watching @EliInfante! I really appreciate it.

Thanks Clark!

Thats a great idea Greg! Thank you for the feedback and watching as usual.

I always take shots I would on a normal shoot in my videos. Not everything is going to be a portfolio piece, so keep that in mind. I always use the stands as well as the field for soccer photos. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

@@MattHernandezgeneral question, have you tried shooting inside a pop up tent to control lighting during the day? I suppose you could think of it as mobile studio. Use some black backgrounds, fog and props etc. It was just a thought I had in case weather and lighting wasn't favorable.

It would be easier to do that with 1 subject but with 2 the angles aren't the same. I personally like the reflection but you would have to play with it to see. Normally moving the light higher works but not when they have a hat on. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

@@MattHernandez thanks! 🙏🏼

Haha I dont know about that but thank you!

It was approaching the magic hour as you can see by the direction of the sun in some of the shots. Light is better later in the day, but being a full time professional with a family means I dont always get to shoot during that time, especially in the summer when the days are longer. So having the option to underexpose when it's super bright is very helpful, especially with the power of the a9iii. Yes, and ND filter would solve that probably. I do use one a lot when I don't need to freeze action with fast shutter speeds, but because I shoot so many athletes I need both options. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

Thanks for watching and the feedback!

I usually so multi metering to get the overall exposure of the entire frame. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

@@MattHernandez thanks for getting back to me! And please keep uploading these classes 😃

Thank you!

What are you referring to when you say cats? It sounds like we do the same thing, you just add an extra step when you re-save the toned photos from Lightroom. I don’t see the need to re-save them, you can just add them into a collection of selects if you need to. I only import the culled photos also, but I don’t delete anything until the shoot is completely done and the client has ordered.

@@MattHernandez catalogs + cats for short ...my bad .....i delete the other raw files that didnt make the culling cut ....the ones that did i edit in lighroom and save into a master folder on my ssd ( i keep those & i send them to the person or team i shot ) but instead of saving all the photos in lightroom to a catalog ...i make a master folder on my ssd drive and save them there and keep them that way lighroom is clean and not so busy with 800 catalogs on my side view and it will help run the software faster cuz less to look through

I really only use my cameras for those two main situations. What are you shooting exactly?

Thank you for watching!

Glad you liked it!

Hey neighbor 👋🏽 🤣

I like black, but they will all work! The models hair and your lighting really plays a big part. You want as much edge contrast as possible.

Legend. Thanks so much!!

Thank you 🙌

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

Awesome thank you! It’s just blowing towards the bleachers to make it spread out.

Thank you so much! We had a great time I’m glad you came.

You have to have a strobe that will allow you to do high speed sync!

I’m using a godox ad600 which allows high speed sync but for some reason this camera model won’t allow it

It should be able to…did you put it on mechanical shutter?

Yeah I’ve tried everything and I researched and apparently a7c ii one of the few models that won’t activate higher then 160 😢

Wow thank you so much for the kind words!

Jesse - great reference to Steven Pressfield - love his books - just finished Put Your Ass (where your heart wants to be) probably a big reason this Podcast was started :). Wish you all the best - thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful!

It’s a Rapid Strap!

Juan - Hope you are doing well! Best of luck with everything!

Indeed he does!

Figuring out where to put that is always hard. Thank you!

Is once a week not enough 🤣? I am posting something next week for patron but my UA-cam has been constant! It’s very time consuming but I’m trying my best. Thank you so much for the support it’s good to know people want my content! Lots more to come don’t worry. I appreciate the feedback stay tuned!

@MattHernandez I absolutely don't mean any disrespect because I'm learning from you but I absolutely don't mind, paying, for more content because I need to learn as much, as possible because time matters 🙏🏼

I didn’t take it that way at all I hope my response didn’t sound like that! I took your comment as a compliment and it just confirms I need to step it up. Thank you for the positive feedback!

@@MattHernandez as a barber, who didn't get into photography during covid, which I wish I did, once per week is not enough BUT since you are a REAL photographer that happens to do UA-cam, I can absolutely understand.

You can do it that way but sometimes you just need to paint them out and that’s another way to do it. Just another tool in the tool box if needed.

Yeah but that’s a lot of extra frames and it’s realistically not that easy to remember to do all the time on a portrait shoot. I actually did a video on that last year, it’s a good idea. And it’s not like the extra step of generative fill is that much extra time. I’d argue it would be just time consuming taking the time to shoot all those extra photos, open them all along side the main photo, copying and pasting them into the other photos document etc. And it takes up less extra hard drive space not having all the those extra photos! Hahahaha…it’s all about the process and what works for you. Just trying to give extra tools in the tool belt. Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for watching and the feedback! Just showing everyone another tool to add into their toolbox for situations they need it.

Thank you so much that is awesome to hear!

Today's video was for you then! I actually made it based on your suggestion. Check it out! Thanks for watching and the feedback. I love suggestions so any time you have them let me know! ua-cam.com/video/L04xo-GSecI/v-deo.htmlsi=BWowVAQKbuLx1dXB

@@MattHernandez I figured that might have been why. THANKS!

It would be similar but you wouldnt be able to underexpose as much given the lower power. It would be close though! Thanks for watching and the feedback!

@@MattHernandez thanks for that appreciate it love your work

Thanks for watching and the feedback! I have LOTS of practice. Trust me, it's never easy haha.
