I use all three tips when I shoot at high noon and I must say that I agree with you that Shooting in the mid of the day can be challenging however the results can be fascinating!
Obrigado, Garota! Seria fácil te escrever em ingles, mas gosto de lembrar que sou do Brasil e esta convidada pra vir aqui. Amei especialmente a ultima foto pela iluminação contrastada. Fantástica!
Great video tutorial in the last week I have watched almost all of what you have put out there can't wait to see more....with that had a few questions... 1. How do you handle V-flat on a windy day - any V-flat world or others provide to make sure it does not blow away? 2. When shooting mid-day what is F-stop range you are usually shooting at? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! To answer your questions: 1. I always have an assistant holding my v-flats so something like wind isn't an issue for me personally. Anything that big is going to be subject to falling over with the slightest wind unless you have someone holding it or construct some sort of contraption made of stands and the v-flat to hold it together. 2. Depends on a variety of factors including if you want a narrow depth of field for a soft background etc. If it's super sunny out you'll probably be shooting with your lens stopped down a bit to let less light in. If you're a confident manual shooter than you can just plug in your general starting point and adjust from there. Alternatively putting it on one of the other modes like auto to get what the camera thinks is the 'right' starting point could help you in plugging those numbers in manually then adjusting.
These tips are amazing and I loved how you explained everything. Can you please share some tips for these type of photos without any assistance? I don't have any assistance so it's kind of hard to do this by myself. Any tip will be good!
Take advantage of the sunny 16 rule and the poor dynamic range of the camera to darken backgrounds while maintaining great color in the full sun. Thanks for the great advice
No just making the point that exposing for bright light can push the shadows down to hide an otherwise cluttered background. Our eyes can see the clutter but the image will hide it.
@@kenlor71 To protect your lens yes,. But try attaching and removing it for the same shot in different light directions. wont make a difference in some.
Some really good tips. I have made a DIY scrim Jim and that works a treat. Does need two people to hold though ! Is it my eye sight or is the model is really tiny !
Great Video and great suggestions. I wondered if you could give me some advice. I shoot sports teams and individual roster photos. I'm not near almost all the easy suggests for finding shade or bounce. I have to move quickly from one field to another to get the teams so my gear must be easily mobile. To make matters worse, I shoot between 2-5 and the sports complex is near the beach so wind can be a problem. I have no assist and practice is in full swing while I do it, so helpful other people and not available. So I was wondering what type of stand would be able to support an open large umbrella (or some other device) and also hold a reflector in case I need it. I think if I had one piece of grip equip, I could wheel it from field to field with my push cart. If you think something else would be better, please suggest. Thanks so much.
To be honest I think you (a) need an assistant and (b) need a strobe like the B10+ or something else 500watt and with HSS capabilities. The stand check out the new savage stand but you'll also need a sandbag.
hi, how about if a client wants/needs/'demands' a wide photo (senior portraits) in front of an important school building, and in front of a 1pm harsh slight?
I'm one of those photographers who avoids mid day light! I'd like to change that and learn to work in it without panic lol! What size is that umbrella ?!
@@lindsayadlerphoto Yes, I know it's just when I see the images so sharp that it's clinical...we see the faults of the skin, that I think to myself it is more beautiful shoot analog....But don't worry, I understood the video well. It's very interesting and we learn a lot! :-) have a nice day....
I suppose it's the medium too. If you're viewing it in a full sized print versus in a video it might look different both shot analog and digital. So consider how you're viewing it too. It's hard to tell if it would "look better", especially since you can't zoom in etc to view it's full detail.
@@lindsayadlerphoto I agree, it was rude and stupid, but it was the first thing that popped into my mind because I never understood why women paint their eyebrows like that. Sorry.
Been there, done that, except for the V flat. Harder to do with no assistance. As usual very, very well done. Says everything it needs to say in 4 minutes.
