And some people pay big bucks for this kind of knowledge. Thanks, Adorama and Daniel Norton for sharing it for free :)

I like your style of explaining. Quick and straight to the point..

[linusfotograf]

I don’t know what it is but Daniel is the best at keeping my interest and teaching me this stuff.

[aussernllc]

Excellent presentation. Exactly what I was looking for.

[kitkatliz]

This was so informative! Thank you! I really loved getting to see you make changes on the fly and explain why and what they affect

[MikeJamesMedia]

Fun stuff. Thank you Daniel and Erica!

Great tutorial, I really like the subtle effects you got I’m going to give it a try tomorrow but on still life images. On a personal note I like the new groomed beard shorter hair look, it gives you a certain gravitas whilst making you look younger.

Happy new year and thank you for all the tips you share!

Daniel reminds me of me. I like how you added the neutral. I will try that next time.

I learnt something from this video.
Thanks for posting.

[GeoffBosco]

Ah! I just started really experimenting with gels, and was looking for a video exactly like this.

[nexx]

Thank you for that really clear explanation. Photos are great.

Sir: A quick question, (I‘m very stupid) Why are you soothing in 2.8? And why not in 5.6 or 7.1? (ISO is not a problem nowadays. Thanks in advance for your answer

[kjwd]

Fine video. Were you using HSS? Not your usual manual settings. 2.8 gives nice shallow dof. I guess 1/500 was to cut down on the ambient from that window :)
Happy New Year Daniel.

[WiseMoney]

how is he attaching those gels? the sheets look like they are just sandwhiched in between the strobe and modifier?

[hamzatatta]

hi what clour gell will you use for black skin

[kisut]

Hey Daniel, I just wanna know if thats possible to change your white balance post pro, and how?

[meltdownman]

The way you have the gels put in with the light sources do they have a tendency to overheat/melt when you are doing a lot of photos? Also could you do a series on different colored lens filters? I haven't seen a good presentation on them. Thank you. The Meltdownman

[hermansurkis]

I'm sorry, what did you say? I was too busy looking at Erica. :)

I'm sure I am not the first to say that.

Another to the point instructive video. :)

Here is a question that I've never been able to find an answer to: Does the result differ if you cover the whole front of the strip boxes with gel compared to only covering the lamp head inside it? If so, in what way?
