They are reflectors made by Calumet. You can only buy them from Calumet.
I know it’s been over 2 years but what brand/size self standing reflector/absorbing panel do you describe at the very end of this segment.

Like he said in Episode 3, it’s all about personal preference and what works best for you…
Speaking from experience, grids are a wonderful tool. I’d get more grids before I touched barndoors.
Ok! That was cool when you held up that grid.
@cuate46 You can but you can go up to 30 seconds only. In bulb mode you can do minutes and even an hour.
Hi there, Can I use the timer for long exposure?
is it same for canon 500d i should have the cable remote or wireless will do ?
How do you know how long to hold the shutter in bulb mode for night photography without overexposing film?
it helps, indeed!!
Just getting into cable release and Im having issues. For example, when I shoot a constellation for 30sec at 18mm f3.5 it comes out great. BUT, if I use BULB mode with the same settings 30sec at 18mm f3.5 the photo comes out so bright its almost washed out. Why is bulb mode letting so much more light in with the same time and settings?
@itsArjie Check that you have switched it to remote/cable control.
I have an 90’s Nikkon AF F-601 – but not sure what cable release is suitable for it… could you maybe help me find one so i can snap pictures at night ?

I got this for a D90. I connected it and it won’t work. What do I need to do?
Excellent! just what I needed
Mirror Lock Up….. that’s gonna be good enough for pretty much everything when you’re saying 1/100 s……… simple as that folks.
@U83RH4X0R808 If you’re talking about a family shot where you want to be in the photo and no one is there to take the picture, then you could do self timer or use a remote release. On a wide angle the camera shake is not going to be too pronounced so yeah, you can do that.
@PhotographersOnUTube you must have mis understood, I’m talking about the shutter self timer, like when people put cameras on tables and let the camera take the shot when there’s no one else to take the photo
@U83RH4X0R808 No, you can’t. The second you press the button, it introduces camera shake. You can’t see it through naked eye but it’s there and effects the sharpness. Also, timer is only for 30 seconds max. Bulb is for as long as you want. 5, 10, 20, 30 minute exposure.
@PhotographersOnUTube couldn’t you use the self timer feature if you simply wanted to eliminate camera shake?
after bulb mode it says x 250 what is that all about??
@vinnyvette BULB setting. If you want to lock it for 3 minutes, 5 minutes. I’m going to try 20 minutes next so I can capture the movement of the stars. For that you have to have cable release. Besides, cable release doesn’t require any battery. So, no battery for life.
What can cable release do that a remote can’t?
@Paranundrum Thank you! I will do a tutorial on wireless flashes eventually. We’re going to start with 1 flash set up and expand to 2, 3, 4 and even 5 flash set up eventually. If I do those right now…. it would scare all the beginners. There is a wireless shutter release which I don’t recommend as it doesn’t have the lock option. A link of this cable release is in the description but you can also search the wireless one that cost less.. but it gives you less as well as you can’t do bulb mode
You know, this is something alot of people forget to show people when doing these kind of teaching videos. I would like to know more about how the wireless flashes work too. I see so many people with flashes all over the studio and I can never see what it is thats triggering them to all flash at the same time. Also, is there a wireless shutter release? Thanks! I have enjoyed your videos and look forward to more!
