This video is interesting and informative but very bad executed, the overall imagine quality is mediocre there are some scenes where you can see these two persons virtually fighting each other to record the same thing, the images of the screen you can’t barely see or just see reflections and the guy always is talking to the wrong camera.
This topic is a great discussion given the creative value of exterior dramatic lighting with a strobe to overpower the sun.
However, I wish the production aspect of this learning tool was better… while I appreciate his content, this was a ghetto approach. Better planning, location. Couldn’t make it past 10 minutes.
So, if I understand, although the ND filter cuts the amount of light entering the lens (including the light from the flash), the boost in the flash power that results from being able to shoot at or below the camera sync speed (instead of having to shoot in HSS) is sufficient to more than offset the ND filter and give an overall net gain in flash power. Is that right?
Aside from being informative, your videos are always enjoyable. Thanks.
