hello boys and girls out there in photography land I go to call off my
lovely friend here Jen Williams who is the creator of the
naked jam branch great source a beautiful and Jams and
preserves really really seriously high end places you're be exclusive aren't you
I am certainly but what I need is a picture
of my new customers label
chewton glen to go on a pop up banner the banner
looks a bit like this I know it's a bit short notice
because I only phoned you yesterday
need to get this thing ordered will have the chewton glen up here
the picture the jar lovely foliage
from the state jam and up a bit some box that
that bit there we are missing got you so you can just happened yes
so as in pop up banner we're talking a one of those stand things to go to show
see you want I know if you got several different labels does it matter which
any or you just choose i think which is cheap
it's got to the chewton glen label well obviously I mean the this different colors I
noticed
yea let's a have a look at it or what we can do it
create nice effect okay socket
whatever we need to do to make it to make it look great
yes if we do a few versions like cause Jonah I might be bored but they may want to
cut it out we don't know
so if I do sort of like a little jumble up stacky thing of jars make you a couple of
a little arty close up angle little soft focusty bits
little soft focusty bitsyea that would be good but
also as it's new product for them and
we've got you here perhaps we could use french press
behind us to make it a bit more complete hellish mmm
might not go might just to have some options
yet yep sure okidok yep
no it's lovely it's lovely alright so if we work together we get something set up
on here would do some stuff for that and to make you look nice
guys this is Jen's own kitchen because we couldn't go to choose when to do it
it's a short notice so will just gonna
I thought you'll be interest to see how we work around it make it happen
your artistic I'm autistic so let's do it fast massive come on then
alright Jen's done a little bit
arty farty gave an idea an so what we gonna do
shot we're going for even though this is kind of like you know it looks like a
mess on the table but isn't
we got the jaw here in the foreground this the shot we want to create jars here in
the foreground we've got some little flowers there because everything was in ingredients
of this we're not gonna go for a single jar
all on its own with nothing because he's just gonna be empty and nothing
you know it like a this week at 2 for 1 at
your local supermarket which isn't
the chewton glen hotel you know
what we're gonna do we have this jar really really sharp so it stands out this is
jar we've got the label but we got the name then will also kinda coming back
narrow field will not use any this actually which is playing around with
this stuff soft so gonna be
jammy me kinda mmm
smell sort of sizzle you know what i mean sort of like
smelling bubbling and cooking choosing Jen when she was on James Martin
on the BBC recently talking about a hundred drip things
you're getting so excited I was brilliant jammy stuff
we have a little tiny ini bit of cake it's gonna be really really soft in the background
so his how your execute it excuse me my dear
I've got long lens using that 70- 200 on a crop sensor
those of you who don't worry about that stuff am
I want a shallow depth of the field don't I? well I go 2.8 lens that's very shallow that feel very very
blurry background
blurry background but it might be too blurry so what we gonna do
run through the shot from one at a time still using a cable release
with mirror lockup because I don't want to risk any camera shake
if these are gonna blown up big we can't have softness in it and there's no room to
crop
so its gonna be composing camera so
It's all line up i'm using the
the window light from the door sorry here's a little thing on light for you
see that little highlight their that started creeping to the room
we don't want that on these jars because it will ruin things
when we do the one with the you know the jars on the dresser we're gonna make sure work
fast enough so
we don't get like sneaking onto the jars it will horrible
so we use in the window lights nice window lights good light we don't
sunlight on there thats why it's on the shady bit F2.8
aperture screening noises of lorna reversing into a chair with the camera
set it onto the camera f2.8
mirror lockup white balance isset it on Sunny we're shooting raws
sort it out later
make sure my auto focus point is right smack on the front of that jar we
wanted to be sharp
the shot all compose lock up the mirror
take a shot now all I need to do
read reports in the lovely Jennifer I just wanna increase the depth of field abit
So im gonna take that who was that you rollover first instead of shooting something else
oh lorna I'm going from 2.8
to F4 because I just wanna run similar experiments
increasing that the field little it little by little
just in case the 2.8 is
too much i wont known to look at it on the computer im gona run around 5.6
and I want an 8
and
I can see already in the back to the camera is getting a bit to sharp let me run an
11
and then you guys can just look at these and you can see the effect on this is a
good
thing about why you might want to use all those middle apertures you know
for subtle changes
that last one is F 16 as we just run through them quickly you can say look at
depth the field is just getting
deeper deeper deeper and deeper I prefer the shallow ones definitely
okay onto the dresser well stress the shot you see Jen has kinda cleared some
space because we've got some jars that looks a little a little bit bare
but we're gonna do use a long lens
shallow sort of you know depth of the field so we're just gonna sort of come through here
we just want see the edge of this jars
the edge of this jars which could easily pass as a teapot we just got some
some of these dresser
is kind of you know what you laughing at kinda dresser in this we got a little plant going
on here the soft background
yet well spotted
you see it's ok turning a label
that label wasn't facing quite the same as the others I mean were gonna use
depth of the field that sort of thing will notice
well spotted Jen okay now some it happened between
when we started and it's another shot in now the Sun has come out
light changes all the time don't forget so that's what 7 building blocks of photography about
lookin at all this stuff and using a brain now
we got highlight running across here we didn't have that earlier when we were
looking at this dresser
that is a pain in the neck because you cameras gonna either
expose for that perfect this is all in shade or its going expose for that that will be blown
out white so will gonna get round it how we gonna do it
jen has got because she is Jen
a role of what we got that where is it this stuff
what is it
tablecloth oh it's table cloth so what we wanna do is
we want to block the light coming in here
we've don't want that light there but we don't want to block the nice light sort of
or blowing through behind here so
we didn't dress rehears this people let's have a go
Jen is going on a chair
I'm for mushroom one midriff very excited
Lorna giggling behind the camera
stop wobbling the camera Lorna Rose, right what do we got
that's pretty good meh that's right that's right we don't get any highlights on the
jars
that's good because we got some nice little light wrapping around them
and if you can see viewers in there we got nice even light to see the difference
between the shelf down here
that one up there you see that little highlight that's pops in just there
that would ruin our picture so
let's do it I'm using
long lens I'm using a you don't wanna know this it's just
under 200 millimetres on a crop sensor what is that i dont know it doesn't matter
it's the one that looks right
okay depth of the field I just wanna shoo
I just wanna get the edge of one of the label of with the chewton glen
so my shots are all set up I have read pre
done that i'm focusing very carefully on the H
of Chewton Glen just in there which so the sort of
hopefully come in nice and sharp nice light nice composition
remember this is gonna be blown up big into a
you know banner thing we can't afford to crop we don't throw a
any pixels every last pixels so in camera composition really important
shots all set up cable release mirror lockup
becauseI cant afford camera shake even the slightest vibration even with heavy
tripod so im looking the mirror
let the camera sit still take the shot
that's looking good
check the source a shot have a quick look in the back zoom in
make sure yeah and that's good I'm gonna try another aperture so im currently
running at 4.5 im gonna try a
2.8 and just see what happens same shot
I have a feeling they will look nice
but I think the depth of field will be little bit too small we want you to read
the label clearly
it's not bad is not bad I'm gonna probably go with the 4.8 one
anyway right so that's that sharp kinda taken care of by mirror lockup by accident
just take another one I was gonna do slightly different angle so im gonna slope that way
that way
I wanna do a straight up and down version so just by tilting the camera making sure it's straight
making sure the focus point is
where i want it there a little beep good
mirror up take pics you doing a great job there Jen
lighting assist Jane used to be what you think it's a manager
yes for both stage manager for the bolshoi Valley how cool is that
right one more shot its gonna
angle it in the other direction so got a little
set of sequences three shots
so there we go so it's some nice outright shots going on there
