What up guys? Ashley Elizabeth here with AEHM artistry and welcome! If you are new
here, hi hi hello! If you are one of my returning subscribers, hi I missed you!
I'm so sorry I missed the last two uploads but I've been waiting for this
ring light that you see right here! And if you're new here and you want to see.
If you clicked on this because you want to know my first impressions of the
Neewer 18 inch ring light that I ordered from Amazon....I'm also gonna be showing
you a before and after! So I want you guys to see, especially if you're
starting out there, what this could look like before your ring light and what it
looks like after ring light. Because let me tell you, there is a quite a
difference in there! So if you want to see what that's all about, then you know what to
do...you keep watching!
*intro music*
Alright you guys. I want you to see really quickly what this looks like
before the ring light. I messed around a lot with my camera settings. I researched
a ton during this week and I this actually already looks better. ISO I have
turned all the way down to a 320. Which is not even as low as it should be. It
should be around 100 to 200 for ISO. So hopefully with the ring light I'm
able to get it there. But this is enough to still see me, still be lit up without
looking too grainy. Before I got the ring light, before I messed with these
settings, I had my ISO all the way turned up between 800 and 1000. Now one of
my friends did warn me about that. But I'm pretty CAMERA illiterate and I
tried to make it as bright as I could and just do that. But I didn't realize that
you can mess with other settings to make that ISO setting not have to be so high.
Now this will be a little bit of a training thing for me. To try to figure
out how to not move around so much and go out of focus. I realized that my
focusing, the autofocus, was crazy! Before it would go in and out and while I was
editing it was just driving me crazy...so I try to cut as much of that shifting
out as I could. But now I have to stay more in...in position. To not move around
so much either. So I will work on that for sure. But I wanted you guys to see
what I was working with before. So in order to get the ISO down, I changed my
other settings. So my aperture, the lowest that I could put it at was 4 on this
camera. And if you want to know what camera I'm using I'll link that all down
in the description box. Then I also have my shutter speed at 1/60 of a
second and I learned that from...I'll link his box down below. But it was super
informative when it comes to these cameras. And he said whatever your frames
per second setting is that you do you want to double that. So I am filming in
30 frames per second, a little bit higher than the standard 24 frames per second.
Just to give a smoother finish. So he said double that for...it just made sense.
The way he put it makes a lot of sense. Let me
try to find his name for you really quick...his YouTube channel is called a
BVC Co. So I will link that down below in case you have questions about cameras
and camera settings. I specifically have a Nikon D5600 and I could not find any
information. I've had it since October and like there was barely any thing out there
with it. And...and so I just kind of had to make it up as I go along. And take little
bits of what I learned here there. But he made it super easy and super clear, so
thank you for doing that if you're watching. But if not, go down and click
that little link if you have some more questions and he will help you to answer
them! Definitely good.
Okay so let's go and find out how the all the new ring
light is...hopefully a lot better than this!
Alright, here it goes. Trying it on
and I have only my recessed lights on and my fan light...let me find the button.
Ooooh!
Yeah that's pretty bright! Okay so this is a dimmable one. So let's go ahead
and oh! This is nice, you guys! Ooh this is actually...haha! Hello welcome to AEHM
artistry I'm Ashley Elizabeth! Hello! No but really...just finished unboxing the
whole thing, this whole kit and caboodle. And first impressions, I'm obsessed with
this! I love it! Okay first of all, the quality off the bat...I mean who knows how
long this will last and how often I'll have to get the light replaced...but it is
way better than I was expecting! This light that's dimmable it's super...whoa
look at how bright it gets! And then all the way to the lowest, before it turns
off. That's nice! Okay the reviews that I was reading on
this, maybe they upgraded I don't know, all the reviews on YouTube and on Amazon
has said that it only had clicks: one, two, three...it's a light, medium, dark. But this
is actually completely dimmable and smooth! So, you can get it exactly how
you want it. That is super neat. Um the bag was really nice. Okay let me see
really quickly...I'll show you the couple little gadgets and gadgets with the
camera, but I want to see if I can turn my ISO down even more now. And get a more
smooth finish. This is really pretty though.
oh I'm so excited!
Okay this is with ISO down to 100.
It was 320 before. This looks too dark, even still. Even with this crazy bright
light and I definitely need to brighten up my background. So I might turn my
lights back on, kind of play around with it.
Let's bring the ISO up a little bit more. This is also with the brightness of the
ring light all the way up. So I'm more blind talking. So let me adjust that.
So what i also bought while i was purchasing this ring light, is I got a
cloth the diffuser. So it's this little guy right here, I'm gonna put it on
really quickly so you guys can see what the difference is...and if there's a
difference between using the diffuser and not. And yeah should be pretty easy
to slide it right on. So let's see...
Alright that is with the soft...
softening...whatever it's called...little stretchy guy. I'm blanking and I just
said the word. And I don't notice that much of a difference except I'll have to
review the footage and see which one I like better. But I I see more of my lines
underneath my eyes. Well maybe they were already showing. I don't know, you tell me.
But it's supposed to be a softer effect. More natural effect. So let me know
whether you like it with the this diffuser are on or without.
And then you've seen the brightness with it on. It is softer when the lighting is
totally up. And too dark...yeah that's really pretty.
Alright so they say if you're gonna check your white balance to just pull
up a white sheet of paper. And see if it actually looks white, if it looks too yellow
you need to adjust it to a more cool tone. If it looks too blue you need to
add some yellow in there. This looks pretty pretty darn tootin' white. I
might see a tinge of blue, but I'll have to look in the footage and take a better
guess. And if it is I'll adjust the white balance on that. But that's just a little
snippet. You can go down the rabbit hole and learn more about that stuff for sure.
And let me take you guys really quickly and show you a couple of little things
of why I'm really loving the quality of this so far.
Alright, you guys. So here's
everything as I was unpacking. You already know that that is all set up. So
that is the box that it came in. I saw some complaints that the packaging
came damaged or whatever. I kind of have to agree because there was a big open
space in the box right here. And then this was the bubble wrap all shoved onto
one side. So it was packaged really good because it came in a carrying case. So I
didn't have any damages. It was fine but if you UPS wanted to be extra rowdy,
which they tend to do, that this would have come damaged. But that wouldn't
necessarily of been Amazon or Neewer's fault. It would have been UPS's fault. But
nonetheless...And then this insert was inside. So it was double boxed, so that was
good. And because I got the case it came very well packaged. I actually thought
this was gonna be a super flimsy case. And I didn't care, I don't really need a
case but you know if I ever want to store it, it's good to have the option.
And especially because it came packed in it, it's really good! Look at this case. This
is nice. I was just expecting a flimsy black bag, but this is actually quite
nice. Has perfect holder and it actually has the holders for the attachment
diffusers if you get those plastic ones. And then extra accessories too. And then
you put this right on top to double secure it. So a really nice bag. I think
if you're getting the light, for me, it's worth it.
So think about getting the bag with it because that's definitely worth it. I
also saw a lot of people complaining that I didn't come with instructions but
my instructions were laying right here, just like that.
Super easy instructions. People were freaking out but I don't know again if
they upgraded things but all the instructions even with all the extra
attachments that they sell came with it. Which I didn't purchase any of those, I
just purchased the cloth diffuser but but it was super easy. And then this
tripod came in the box too. So I did get the tripod with that. And again it had
all the instructions there. So right here is the tripod. I did not actually
purchase a camera attachment because I already have a...let me focus this...focus
focus. I already have a camera tripod that I like. So I just stick it right
there and it works perfectly. I didn't really see the need to have...my
camera right directly on it. And my lens is really long so it goes through really
easily. No big deal. So you don't have to necessarily get that stand if you
already have that. If you're wondering if it fits perfectly, it does! And then
I also heard complaints that the cord was super short, however you can see how
far away on them from the wall and I have a lot of give. So that's really nice.
I also heard complaints about the outlet plug and coming with two and stuff, and
no it just comes with a standard u.s. American outlet plug. And then what else...
this is the softbox that you guys saw me go over. That's the
softbox on there, really nice. That is how far away I'm sitting. It was getting only
slightly warm. Yeah these definitely get warm. They're
not hot though. I can touch it...it's fine but it's still slightly warm. So if
you're filming for like two hours, you might be pretty hot? But not too sure yet.
And you can see, look at that compared. So that's the ring light look how cool it
is, like cool tone. And that is my regular standing light, so look at how warm tone
that is. So maybe I could have just switched out the lights to be more cool
tone, but it still wouldn't have filled my face completely. Like it is. So I might
switch those out to fill out the background and we'll see, I'll play
around with it. But I just wanted you guys to see all that. Those were some of
the complaints that I heard about the Neewer ring lights and I did not
experience them! So I wanted you to see a first firsthand everything going on with
that. And obviously because it came with instructions assembly was a super easy.
All I did was pop up the tripod make it to the adjustment that I like, the height
that I like. And then pop on at the actual ring light and plug it in. It was
super super freakin easy. I really liked it.
Alright you guys, this is with my backdrop.
And this one I've been using a lot more. I have a few new ones but this has been...
this one's pretty pretty frequent because it just kind of is black and it
goes with everything. But this looks super good with the background. I think
I'll just be filling with backdrops, if not rearranging my area, because I think
my room was just too yellow. Like I have tan walls and it's just too much. And the
background isn't that interesting anyways. So you might be seeing even more
backdrops now that I have this because I don't want to deal with lighting up the
background. ...That's a guest bed, not that interesting. So there
is what that looks like. Also, I do...after looking at the footage...I
do like the diffuser on the ring light a little bit
better because it softens the texture of my skin. It doesn't look as intense and
the shadows are just there. They are what they are. Alright and so you know I will
have everything linked down below in the description box to show you what exactly
I purchased and how much.
