Awesome tutorial! I'm shooting automobiles as well and am incorporating it into my business. Good stuff brother! Liked and subscribed! Check out a vlog of mine at a car show and tell what you think....when you get time. Thanks!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9s8InAWdI3c.html
Hey Pete Comn Man throw a video alil quickly ... bruh! you are too lazy i think... lol :) i think oK.. just like chris throw 3 or more videos a week and and at least reply to comments ;D
Rolling shots, aka sitting in a car and shooting another car while moving is a fantastic photo idea. However I personally do it slightly differently. Sit in the boot, camera on tripod and IS on, times of about 1/8 and just go crazy with the burst. You can be driving at 10 km/h and the shots looks really cool with lots of motion blur.
Thank you! Excellent video technique: no annoying blabbering or stammering: no annoying music: a quick succinct explanation of what to do! I’m trying to sell a well loved 1998 Grand Marquis. This will help!
Definitely good tips! I’ve started my photography career at car shows. It’s great because there are a lot of things to shoot, but it’s hard to manage the light, reflections, and people around the car. A good challenge but a lot of fun in my eyes. Thanks Chris!
Generally a tip for moving shots or rollers is to match your shutter speed with the speed you're rolling at. So generally if you're going 60mph keep the speed at 1/60th for reference. I've almost always used the highway for a rolling spot and hang out of the car (no more than the waist) and keep the camera low. Just take a lot of photos and you're bound to get keepers. For locations just look at what people in your local scene are using and ask around. Car photography is a lot of fun (and lucrative) but it's all about locations and editing.
Chris, your channel is blowing up. I just watched you go from 2k to 4.6 in the course of the Peter Mckinnon video featuring you. Stoked to be here, and keep making rad stuff!!
If this is *any* indication of what we plan on seeing in the immediate future -- then there is going to be a deliciously good run for this new series of clips! Really helpful to have seen this and now it explains to a considerable degree why the car commercial I'd done with SUBARU for their Crosstrek had the vehicle lined up so and so and so -- in retrospect, it now all makes sense. Great energy on the presentation, as well...it's going to be a terrific fall and winter!
Subbed!! Great info! Rollers are always my favorite to shoot. Behind in the trunk shoot at 24mm f5.6-8 1/25-1/30. Going around 25mph, High and low angles. CPLs are a life saver for automotive, bought b+w and it's insane when paired with my 24-70 or 70-200 2.8ii
Naming the angles earned you massive points plenty are like "yeah i shoot it here, and at this angle and yeah" using exact names helps viewers know the names so they can sound like they know what they're talkin about and and so they can piece term with technique.
I work at a salvage selling rebuildable cars and mostly shoot wrecked cars with limited time and space to do it in while also dealing with customers who sometimes get in the way of the shot. My boss once asked why I can't get the cars to look like the ones in the magazines (Car and driver, etc.) so I asked if I could have several hours to shoot each car and move them to a location away from the salvage. Anyhow, thanks for the video.
Great tips in here man! When I do driving/chase car shots, I usually shoot with a 14mm or 28mm at 1/60-1/100 and have gotten some super clean results! Anything under 1/60 is kinda unusable.
Fantastic. I have my schooling in Visual Communication Technologies which emphasizes photography and videography but this simple instruction made it seem as though I was starting from scratch. Thanks
Just what I was looking for. This is best tutorial on internet. You could update it, go a bit more into details. Like composing shots. That can make or break the end result.
Duuuuuude, great vid really good start to the re release of the Vlog, awesome delivery! Looking forward to picking up some more tips along the way. WOOP WOOP !
Awesome stuff 👍😎 I'm in the Car Biz can't wait to start shooting like this thanks Chris. I missed the difference on the polarized lenses maybe you can slow down and explain how does work? Love the Vid will keep an eye out for the next one 👍
Good content! I usually like my shutter speed on panning shots at 1/20 harder but results come out sick! canyons are also good areas to shoot for cars!
Was planning a shoot with some friends tomorrow night by the beach and needed some ideas to shoot, will DEFINITELY implement the steel wool ideas into the shoot. Thanks for the tutorials! Subscribed and looking forward to future pictures.
I had a 2000 C230 Kompressor with similar rims, too bad rust took over and I had to get rid of it... probably my favourite car I've ever owned... Great tips and video, but having the same car just earned you another subscriber! LOL
At first, I was like: whaaaaaaat, is he really gonna tell me about these boring angles? but then I was like: WOOOOW, DUDE, THESE TIPS ARE REALLY DOPE! WHAT A NICE SHOT!!!
Hope in future you create more such tutorials because I love photography and learning new things from you and Peter it's just amazing the stell wool idea was ok until I learned it from you you just nailed it brother
This has been one of the most entertaining videos.. I first clicked on this because I'm a photographer that's been shooting some cars recently and I was very amused when you assumed that your audience have the same car as you because I really do own a 1998 Mercedes Benz c230. XD Mines just black.
Thanks for the tips! I think I'm going to drive around for a dope area to shoot the picture and make a slight panoramic photo! those are some great tips. How about night shots?
First of all: Great Video Chris - as always. What about speedlights/flahes and compositing? Do you ever use something along those lines? Viele Grüße aus Deutschland :D
Chris thank you for all the tips. Shooting a car based ad. next week pumped on it and I couldn't have found your channel at a better time! The reflection tip was great hadn't thought much of it till now. Can't wait to see what else you come up with for tutorials. Shooting a new fully built GTR and can't wait to share this video on youtube. We film travel based videos on our channel.
Literally saw one video before this one, and I'm subscribed with Notifications! Keep up the good work! Oh! Also, my dream car would probably be a Rolls Royce pretty much anywhere in Colorado!
Hey Chris, just watched your video with Peter Mckinnon really cool stuff man just subscribed to your channel, loved the Mercedes shoot too. Keep up the great work!
Great video definitely going to be using some of these tricks for my fox body. You should do another one on how to get a good picture with yourself by your car, I would like to get some ideas on how to make it look natural
This is the kind of photography I love. Sadly only way I get to shoot cars now is at car shows that we have twice a year. One day I'll get a chance to shoot a car outside a show.
Great tutorial! researching car photography because a friend wants me to take shots of his Mustang (I don't specialize in Car photography. I'm more of a Photojournalism guy), so this was very helpful. I actually have a Polarizing Filter, but when it comes to car photography, do we want to INCREASE the reflections with the polarizer or reduce them?
New subscriber here, found you through Peter McKinnon's channel (btw, loved the steel wool tutorial). This is great info as there is a classic car festival coming to my area next month!
Hey man, thanks for the post! I’m getting into vlogging and just got a Model 3! I’m using a Sony a6400 and these tips are great! It’s cool to get different shots that pull the eye in and can give even a standard location and... classic car a cool vibe. Also, I wish I could be on drone level 😂
