In part two our Plan it, Shoot it, Edit it,
you get to come along as I do
the Vintage Explorer themed shoot.
Hello I'm Gavin Hoey
and you're watching AdoramaTV
brought to you by AdoramaTV,
the camera store that's got everything
for us photographers.
Well it's Vintage Explorer shoot day
which is terrific because you're going
to come along for the ride is you see
behind the scenes on the shoot.
So in my previous video
you saw how I planned this
and in the next video I'll go through the editing
of the pictures that I haven't taken yet.
Yeah that should be fun.
So first things first, I came down
this morning and I put all of the
batteries on charge.
The rest of the gear,
well in the studio,
I'm going to use the eVOLV 200.
On location I'm going to take
that plus and XPLOR 600
so it's great to have Kerry back in the studio.
Kerry is going to be the model
for this Vintage Explorer theme shoot
and I am starting in the studio
because I just want those banker images,
those ones which mean that the rest of the shoot
will be fine because I know I've got
some great images to start with.
We're just going to do a really simple set up
in here, get a few shots
and then go out on location.
So that was great. We got some great
shots here in the studio. I'm confident
that we've got some excellent pictures.
Now we're going to go on location
and get even more
but that means I'm afraid Kerry
it's time to go outside where
it's freezing cold.
So we're on location and the weather is pretty good,
all things considered. It is a bit blowy
and it is really cold. You won't feel that in
the video but trust me, it is. So let's
set up and let's get some shots taken.
So first thing I need to do is to work
out the exposure without the flash.
So I'll turn the flash off
and I'd like to just slightly under expose the scene
by a stop or two.
So you're going to come around to the side here.
You're going to stand on this rock.
We'll get that nice and tight,
you'll probably have to hang on to that
bit stop it flying around too much.
Always wonder what that button was for?
The O F F / O N button
now I know it's for
turning the flash on and off.
Okay that's amazing straight out of the camera
that's brilliant.
You're going to be looking up
ooh hang on,
he's miles away!
Can you pop one shoulder
literally against the stone
so that shoulder ,right into there,
that's it, yeah you're going to face me.
Ooh so I'm looking over there?
Yeah because you look into the light
just trying to avoid getting a,
I mean don't actually look into the light
because that would be really bad.
All of a sudden the Sun's come out
so Kerry is standing in the Sun which is
nice and warm but not great
for the photography because it's really harsh light.
So if I just spin the softbox around,
I can cover her in shade and as
I'm going to underexpose the ambient
anyway, I can then fill in that shade
with the flash and of course in the time
it took me to do this the Sun's gone in.
Isn't that just about typical?
Anybody see my camera bag?
There it is. Stop looking,
so I run the theory
that if you bring a lens
you should use it. So I
brought the long lens,
let's use it.
So the long lens allows me to step back
and if I step back,
I get compression.
Long lenses don't compress,
the distance between you and the subject
is the compression. If you want to find out more
about that check out the Adorama Learning Center,
where I've got a whole video covering lens compression.
Okay so Kerry just going to have a little
look at the map for me? That's great
and just turn the camera so it's completely
facing me, amazing. There you go.
That's great.
Okay here we go Sam,
do you want to climb in there?
Alright sometimes the best
locations aren't the easiest to get to.
There are times when I do wish
I was back in my studio.
Lets have a little bit of a squeeze in here
but hopefully this shot will be worth it.
Okay so same as before,
going to work out the non flash exposure
just to get that right
and then we'll add in the flash
and the flash I'm using has got
quite a wide spread of light,
which means that it will actually light these rocks
really well so if I light the rocks
with a flash,
I can under expose the sky
and actually get the color
and detail back into the skies.
Owe!
So there we go.
We've got some great shots
at the location. The weather's held
out okay. Kerry is cold
but she's survived.
So let's pack this gear up
and let's get back to the studio
where it's warm,
and have a nice cup of tea I think.
So I thought we were done
in the last location but on the way home,
I remembered about this place.
So this is five minutes from where
we live. It's a beautiful view across the
lake. We got the Sun setting.
We're just going to grab a couple of pictures
really quickly because if it was cold
before, it's a lot colder now.
The light, I'm going to shoot that way into the light
and if I'm shooting into the light Kerry
is going to be a silhouette.
So I need to light her with the flash.
I'm going to put the
flash on full power
and then figure out what sort of exposure
I can get, here we go let's try that.
That looks amazing,
absolutely amazing!
Oh my gosh!
That looks amazing!
Now Kerry can we move you around a little bit?
So I've just moved Kerry around slightly
and in this direction, I can actually get
the Sun right behind her
and none of the modern signposts
behind her.
So backlit shot I'm using the Sun effectively
as a second light.
So there we go,
it's getting really cold now,
the light starting to go but I think
I've got some absolutely
fantastic pictures.
So in the next video
I'm going to take these pictures
and start doing some editing on them,
so join me for that. In the meantime

It's an edit with a bit of a difference

I've sorted the pictures out,
I've not edited any of them yet
so you'll get to watch as I edit live.
