In this video Jason uses his battery from the Rotolight Aeos on his Neo 2 to give it a real extra punch in the shots! The Neo 2 typically takes 6 (six) AA batteries to be powered remotely. But when you use the Dtap connection you can take the battery from the Aeos or the Anova Pro 2 and plug it into the Neo 2 making it significantly more powerful in flash mode than when you use just AA batteries.

Below are images Jason took at the shoot. Visit www.rotolight.com/jasonoffers for exclusive deals on some of the best LED lights in the world.

Huge Savings! Rotolight 2 Aeos Bundle Kit (50% Off)

July 7, 2020

AEOS 2LK + 2 X BATTERY D-TAP + ILLUMINATOR BUNDLE

Promo Code: JLAEOS-02

If you haven’t heard, Rotolight is having a HUGE savings on their 2 Aeos Light Bundle Kit. Below, Jason Lanier (@jasonlanierphotography) and Emily Rinaldo (@em.explores) have provided a demonstration video below to show you what you can do with this extremely versatile kit. In an abandoned farmhouse in Jacumba, California Jason used two Aeoses to light Emily. One light was a key light, the other was placed on the ground, held upright by the battery pack (that’s included in the kit) to illuminate the hay and accent the bottom half of the scene. The lights used were unmodified in LED mode during the day. They created extremely soft, stunning, and timeless portraits.

For more information about this and other bundles offered by Rotolight and Jason Lanier please visit: www.rotolight.com/jasonoffers To take advantage of the particular gear used in this video as part of the bundle please visit: https://www.rotolight.com/product/aeo... Promo Code: JLAEOS-02

Wrap-up: In this video, Jason uses two Rotolight Aeoses in LED mode. One light used as a key light and the other used as accent lighting from down below. This is also one of the first shoots ever where Jason uses the Sony A99ii, Sony's premier DSLT camera.

Lenses used for the shoot include the Sony Zeiss 24mm f/2, the Minolta 50mm f/1.7 and the Sony Zeiss 85mm f/1.4.

Salvation Mountain- My First Shoot with the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 on the Sony A6500

February 22, 2017

So thanks to the kindness of Sony, I was able to borrow the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 lens prior to it being released to the public. So I asked my followers what they wanted me to do with the lens and one of the most frequent requests was that I slap that puppy on my A6500 and show the world what the images looked like.

So I booked my crew and a model and we headed out into the middle of nowhere....literally. We went out to Salvation Mountain which is somewhere between Mexico and Palm Springs out in Niland, California. It is a CRAZY place!!

We did a number of shoots earlier in the day and as the sun was getting close to setting I threw the lens on my A6500 and did a quick shoot. I wanted the shoot to be something similar to the time frame I'd have when shooting for 10-15 minutes at a wedding...like the couple shoot after the ceremony just to show people what can be done in a short amount of time.

Lighting wasn't necessarily optimal, but I wanted to show what could be done in less than ideal situations. I used the Flashpoint Xplor 600 monolight with the Westcott Rapid Box XXL as a modifier. Below are some of the shots from the shoot. All of the images taken were shot wide open at f/1.8.

We hope you enjoy the shoot. Please let us know what you think and what questions you have. We certainly have high hopes for this lens and the performance of it paired with this camera is quite a combination!!
