it's the camera store that has everything for photographers like you
and me
well today I'm joined by Maria and we had this great plan on going out
shooting in this really incredible location
and getting some nice outdoor shots but everything with the pot
so our I location didn't work out and the clouds came out is in fact it's
gonna rain
in Phoenix almost any second so we have to shoot fast the stone center she knows
I thought what was just talk about four things you can do about four tips
that explain how you can take something that looks nasty like this
or an environment that's not very good sis industrial park
we are nasty clouds what can I do well there are four things that you can do in
the first one is this
when the clouds get ugly go outside
I know that seems crazy but when you have a cloud cover like this you get
really
nice soft light and that means that you can shoot grape orchards good fortunes
love stoplights let's start there
when should a porch right here Maria and I want to use this nice of like
some issue right now I'm aperture priority mode shooting with my
5D Mark III and I'm just gonna shoot at F
policy about 71 I'm taking my shot here
and yeah we got nice of light but this picture
obviously has a lot of problems we still have nasty
a background bacteria that car driving by so the lights good
but the photo is not so what we need to do well tip to
is shoe with a long lens some issue at 200 millimetres and some 70 millimetres
which I was just shooting at
was gonna do it is going to a narrow the in love you so it's going to take the in
love you
and make it smaller so we don't see these buildings on the side
and we really only see the trees that are behind Marie and that's gonna clean
things up significantly
summary a we have you across your arm like that
and they were gonna get in here just a little bit tighter and I might have to
get back a little bit
I'm awake for these trucks and stuff to clear out for the mail truck is about to
move away
animal shoot so we do at the way a little bit alright the mail truck is
left
perfect
okay now we have a much nicer portrait looks like maybe we're out in a park or
something
and we can do even one more thing so tip 3:
as we need to use a wide open aperture to let the background fallout a focus
less on a deal
I'm a dial this down to two point 8 and that's going to be nice shallot up the
field
so let's shoot this one more time perfect
three looks great when you one more excellent
and so you can see now that things look so much better
and so that's a pretty good for sure we can stop there if you want to but I
don't wanna stop there wanna take it up a notch
and so we're gonna do that in the way we do that is add a nice fill flash memory
do this Jason Wallace Tammy is a male all flash
so that we can get a really nice of like the filling Maria
I'm gonna grab that set up and I'll be right back hi everybody it's Mark
Wallace
make sure you check out at aromas latest contest you could win some great prizes
alright live set up my flash I'm using the new Profoto B1
and this is a Flashpoint last seven for
Octabox which I absolutely love and this uses TTL metering so what I've done
here
is I've set my camera to actually shutter priority mode now
57 I can read two hundredth of a second so I can I shoot it as fast as I
possibly can with my sync speed being in two hundred
and my cameras can open up the apertures wide as it possibly can to things can be
around 5-6
now the thing is with the flash are really benefiting here
it just filling in a little bit Maria to make sure you are shadows really nice
and also in her eyes cuz she's got really really nice pretty eyes is gonna
pop a little bit a flash
in her eyes and so those who light up so a bit so let me take a picture
with and without the flashy can see exactly how this works
summary a here because this is with the flash nice smile perfect
I love that I'm a back up just a little bit excellent
all right now and she won with no flash and you'll see the difference
perfect knee rehab with and without flash
well there are my for temps for shooting in a nasty environment
tip 1 when the skies are ugly go outside temp till
I shoot with a long lens to compress things tip 3:
he's a wide open aperture into poor if you can she with a really large flash to
fill in all those details
