Light Meter Tutorial Photography // Light Ratios with Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate

Did your camera settings change when you moved the light closer?

Thank you for the video, the time and effort you invest in making these videos!!

Instead of working I’m watching another one of your videos 🤓 But in all seriousness Another great video Thank You

Thank you and here is a question: with the same exposure of the highlights, hard light gives the shadow a hard, distinct edge and soft light gives the shadow a soft, diffuse edge. Instead of calling it hard or soft light, do you know why don't we call it hard or soft shadows? Next, could you do a video on color? Specifically, blue light is "cool" (6500K) and orange is "warm" (2700K), and we 'cool it down' by increasing the temperature and 'warm it up' by reducing temperature. Do you know why we use these terms?

You're the Best ! Another great video. Thanks

It seems almost backwards that when the light is closer to the subject ( and thus closer to the background too ) that the background is darker than when the light is further away from the subject ( and background ) where you'd expect it to illuminate both less. This however is due to the Inverse square law, anybody learning lighting really needs to grasp that principle if they want predictable and consistent results. Excellent work on this series Rob 👍

Great video well done!!

isnt the 28 inch parabolic softbox meant for larger distances from the subject?

Nice stuff Rob!

You are good instructor! Thank you!

This video is amazing for easy to understand learned a lot

"Bigger is softer and closer is bigger"

thanks, for this tutorial

Excellent video; clearly explained and presented. Subscribed

thanks for your work

Sun = soft shadows right?

Can you use these modifiers with a speedlight? I don't have one of those fancy big lights

thank you for the effort and the sharing. i'm re-watching this series and always walk away with a new insight. BIG thumbs up.

thank you for explaining theory in a very simple and effective way. kudos to your effort!

Thank you so much for these excellent tutorials, you keep everything so clear and precise, you are a wonderful teacher.

What if you increase power at a distance will it be softer?🤔

Brilliant, thank you.

I think the fall off is caused by the subject being brighter because the light is closer, then the metering lowers the exposure because of the light on the brighter subject causing the background to be darker.

Excellent demonstration & tutorial. Would softer light give more accurate skin tones? As see more mid tones?
