YO guys, my name is Omar, I’m a photographer and in today's video, I’m gonna be teaching
you how to make shit float....
Wait that sounds so wrong now that I said it. That did not
sound like that when I was rehearsing it in my head. So when I say “make shit float”
I don’t mean like shit, I... this is what I mean.
Alright guys so for this tutorial, you’re gonna need
We’re also gonna need a fairly decent amount of light guys
so... I suggest we do this outside.
Alright guys so I just came outside, it is raining, I’m gonna go inside.
Alright guys so, if we wanna make something float when we’re taking a picture of it
we need to set our shutter speed at a pretty fast shutter. The faster the shutter speed
the faster the photo gets taken. The slower the shutter speed, the slower the photo gets taken
and it looks all blurry and stuff, which is not, what we want for this tutorial.
Alright guys, so when setting your shutter speed at shutter 1/500th of a second, you’re
gonna start to notice that your picture is gonna get a lot more darker which means your
gonna have to probably crank up that ISO. Now, don’t crank it up too much cause you’re
gonna start to notice that there is gonna be visible noise or grain or whate...
Alright I didn't explain what noise slash grain is so, see all this stuff, like, everywhere
like the little kinda dotty yucky stuff, that is noise grain and you don’t want that in
your footage because it’s just not pleasant to look at, so, make sure you don’t crank
up your ISO too much otherwise, that’s what’s gonna happen. Alright, back to the video.
You’re also gonna wanna keep your F stop at like f2.8 because, you wanna have that
shallow depth of field when doing this because you’re gonna be able to keep whatever you’re
throwing in focus and then have everything in the background blurred out.
It's gonna look pretty sexy.
Alright so, got my camera, got this thing that I’m gonna throw, I’m gonna now try
and find a appropriate place to do this picture, cause of, you know, lighting and stuff so
let's get on with the time-lapse.
I don’t know what’s harder, tryna find a good place for lighting, or trying to come
to grips with the fact that I may actually end up dropping and breaking this.
Alright, back to the time-lapse again.
Success!
Alright so, I've decided to choose this area to do the picture because we’ve got this
beautiful light from the side just shining right in, so when we bring the item
it's gonna be pretty well lit. Now when doing this, you’re gonna wanna make sure you take the
picture when the item is in mid-air which is why having a shutter speed at like 1/500th
of a second is pretty vital because once you take that picture, it’s gonna take it really
really fast when it’s in mid-air
so, you’re gonna end up having a picture that’ll look something like this.
So once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you can start throwing other stuff too.

Spaceship...
You thought I meant real spaceship...
That could be an idea...that could be an idea right?
So remember guys, fast shutter speed, higher ISO, floating shit...
stuff... floating stuff...
NICE!
