The price just went up 😎
Both are absolutely great, I guess that the high ISO and low shutter speed settings are to keep the aperture in f2.8, to get a shallow depth of field, isn't ?
I digs too much my man
tHE LIGHT FROM THE SIDE PROFILE IS TIGHT!
Great Shots!! Definitely like the second image a bit more if I had to pick just one. Great overview and insight into your lighting setup!
Amazing shots and great explanation. Thank you!
I love both but the second image adds more drama to the picture with the red gelled light acting as an accent on the lockers. Great job!
You are the absolute best, hands down…
Both look great Matt!
Jimmy Ortiz, The two portrait are very good
I like the side view the best where the red light is in the upper left hand corner.
Awesome job Matt! Love how small they are. Will have to try them out!
Nice results!
I like both photographs, really it would be a tough pick if you could only choose one. So if I could only select one composition, it would be the one with the athlete standing.
These LED lights are getting better and I think in a short matter of time they will overtake strobes.
