Would be curious what the first one was too bc it wasn’t bad

I’ll write it up this weekend. There’s the buying by then the set up.

Nice! Yeah it’s worth experimenting with. You’ll find a natural framing/style that works for you the more you do it (as with everything)

Re f stop, usually want to go 1 or 2 stops above wide open for optimal sharpness, but you can google what’s best for your lens to see 

I often just stick with wide open so that I maximize bokeh, even if I’m a little less sharp, since no one can tell on a phone or computer probably

That’s what @jackwyldes.eth suggested too. Will play around. I have a Sigma lens that can get pretty low f

Looks great! A few thoughts if it helps: 

The composition is a little off, with so much empty space above your head;

The windows are a bit blown out, makes the eye drawn there instead of you;

The aperture on your camera likely would benefit from going to a wider aperture (lower f number) to help distinguish you from the background

Looks so much better now I need to hear audio comparisons

Yes same set up except for camera change. But the exposure on each camera was a bit different

nice!!

was the only lighting change the camera?

Seeing you so low in the frame, this came to mind, @dwr.eth.

The expressions on your face are cracking me up. #effective

you’re better exposed but smaller in the frame

exposure seems good on 2nd. I’d add a little more light to face and angle down a bit to fill frame.

lower aperture for a bit more dof

hm, the first seems better though.

more full in frame, face lighting is flat but bright and less sith lord.

That is really cool huge difference

what lens are you using, it makes you tiny
