In order to get the HSS the flash must be off camera? I’m amateur and I got a nissin i40 for my a6000, but It seems I couldn’t make it on camera. I never got the HSS indication as you did here in this video. I was trying to dark the background too. Many thanks…
wow, nice work!
I’m planning to get the a6000, do you have experience with the zeiss 16-70? how does it perform? any flaws with that lense?
greetings from germany! 🙂
Were you really on a shoot for a magazine? hmm
How much you cost for your’e model?? where can i contact her 🙂
YOU are awesome Gary! Thanks for the vids!
+1 on the Phottix Odins. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Got 1 transmitter and 2 receivers. Got 5600HS(D)’s on the receivers and I can independently adjust the power on each one while still making use of HSS to kill/reduce ambient. Great for when you don’t want to dink with taking a softbox down to adjust the flash power level…
Hi Gary, do you know if those 3 nice Sigma dn Art primes (19, 30, 60mm) allow the usage of all the ‘native’, AF functions on the a6000? Appreciate it!
wow, this is amazing how you demonstrate in real time the effects of various settings of the camera to take her photo
Awesome job Gary. I wish you were here so I can intern for you. Just got your lightsphere professional and commercial kit. Driving my wife crazy taking so many pictures of here
Hey Gary, Would you recommend the SEL70200G lens? I’m assuming that’s the one you are using in this video. Also what lens would you use for taking pictures of landscape, buildings etc
Shots look amazing
do you know if it is possible to
use high speed sync with this camera, using a external flash , and a trigger?
i cannot find anything on the menus
thanks
WOW! Your ability to capture the shot is already to notch, BUT you’ve certainly mastered this model. I’m going to watch your full tutorial tomorrow on this cam. I picked it up because of your amazing clips.
I’m looking forward to bringing this camera to life!
Thanks for taking the time to make these awesome videos!
Don’t really like the shadow created by the light! I doesn’t look at all natural! But it’s nice to see what an a6000 can do!
Gary,Is that a monitor next to you that is hooked up to the A6000 (if yes, brand and model please)?Are you using it to review the still shots or the camera taking the video?
what do I have to buy to get my a6000 to work with high speed sync? also I head that the mitros loses HSS function the second you change the position of the head, making it pretty much useless for putting into a beauty dish or softbox
How do get such high flash sync shutter speeds? Is this one of the feature of the a6000. Incredible! Thanks.
Great video, Nice ideas from your videos.
Could you explain how you get high speed sync with external transmitters?
amazing how your lightsphere portrait kit does magic to a photo of a woman in the cloudy weather
What would happen if you shoot in manual mode instead of TTL? Can you still get the same results?
What is the best all-around lens for the Sony a6000 for multipurpose that is under $600?
Using an off-camera flash (slave mode) with my built-in flash, I hit a big problem with the Sony A6000.
When the off-camera flash is fired, the resulting picture is actually far *darker*. Even when in full Manual mode with ISO locked, the same thing happens. I’m not in TTL mode, so the camera can’t be decreasing the power of the flash.
And just before anyone goes there, this difference is not explainable by shutter speed. And, i was shooting at only 1/80th of a sec anyway.
what’s her name? is she real model or ?
im confused. when you want more light, you bumped up the iso to 400. why dont you just lower the shutter speed ?
Which camera and lens do you use for the video part?
what is the flash?
pure beauty, even when shot with an old mobile phone
What camera would you recommend under 1000$? I am mostly into filmmaking.
typical photographer 😀 doesn’t say that she looks good so the photos are the best…he says photos are the best we have ever done, this lens is amazing 😀
Great video. Just wondering why you don’t focus on the eye with the smallest spot and not use face detection either ?
