A classic car rally is the subject of this 15 minute photo challenge. I'm not a classic car person and couldn't tell you anything about the cars, but I know what I like in a photo :-) - Навчання та стиль
This video is so old in terms of history of digital photography that it is actually nostalgic. From before the time everything was "boomified" and when simple photos still brought enjoyment to lots of people. I've come back to photography after maybe three years break and it seems like photography doesn't matter anymore. It does to me and this is still a very nice tutorial.
his pictures always look so good, no matter what he takes photos of!
I really, really, really love your videos, Gavin - they're always the highlight of the day when they pop up in my inbox. I always get so inspirational by them - you really show that one can find motifs absolutely everywhere. Keep them coming, I'm looking forward to the next challenge :D
Oh, and PS, your shirt is just too awesome!
Loved the reflection of Gavin in the horn tweeter.
You've got a good eye for details. You've given me some great ideas!
I really don't know much about all the f/22 and 105mmm stuff, but I still love watching those 15 minute challenges. Your pictures are awesome and you explain very well what you want to capture in the picture. I also like the way these videos are edited :)
I really love the pictures you took in this video! really beautiful and amazing! But still, you'll always get an amazing result! I just love watching your video! Cant wait until the next one :)
I take the same sorts of photos whenever I go to a car show -- hood ornaments in particular. Would like to see how you clone out reflections such as the reflection of yourself in the headlight bucket. Great episode as always.
Thanks Gavin, your videos improved much more in last several photoshoots, I like really much before-after and F5-F22 and camera reading-compensated exposure.
Keep up the good work sir!
beautiful images man,
Love the close ups details.
Great video as always Gavin. I love every single one of your 15m photo challenges. Maybe you can show us a short tutorial on some of the post processing? That would be great. Cheers
I'm going to be doing some photos involving cars soon so this gives me great ideas. Thank you!
love your 15 min vid, thank you for sharing.
I love your videos. I just went to a car show yesterday.
Awesome as always bro!
I like how your reflection came out, pano shoots- very interesting. and overall- great video. nicely done
love your vids, very informational. I have to get one of those camera straps you are using.
Bracketing can be accomplished either manually or automatically if your camera has that feature. It is used to get several exposures above and below what the camera says is correct, and also it isn't limited to just three exposures, (one above and one below) it can be as many exposures above and below as you want.Although it is being used frequently in HDR processing, . Before digital came into existence photographers often bracketed their shots to ensure they got a proper exposure.
you really teach to get great photographs out of simple subjects
I really liked the exposure compensation tip, with regards to shiny objects.
You Are Awesome......always Teach Us New Things...Thank You Very Much....
Inspiring podcast this time, thanks!!
Sweet, love these.
Good job.
@hikinguphigh bracketing is when you shoot 3 different exposures of the same picture, basically you shoot 3 pictures of different exposures, for example -1 0 and +1. or -2 0 +2. This is good for HDR because you can have details in dark areas from the +2 exposure, and details in bright area with the -2 exposure. so basically at the end you will get 1 HDR picture with large amount of detail.
love this one. its gives chance us to learn the photographer view of shoot for awesome shots.
@MrPhilippecherubin It's made by Black Rapid. That was the RS-Sport but you'll also see me using a RS-7 in some of my other 15 minute challenges from the past 9 months.
@malmonletratista Details are in the video description. It's a Canon 24-105L
Great as usual.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a visual way, great!
really good photos and cars
Really enjoyed your video as usual.
Gavin, great video, another one !! I do learn a lot from you, especially on photoshop matters. Do you ever happen to give your opinion on your fans' work, to possibly give them tips on mistakes you see occuring often in their work?
love your videos
@hikinguphigh
I believe its the mode on some cameras (mainly DSLRs) that takes 3 consecutive photos with different exposures. Its meant to give you the option of combining them in post-processing (HDR for Photoshop) to create a perfectly light/dark balanced image. Its especially useful if you are shooting in low-light, bright sunlight or other circumstances where there is too large of a range of light and dark areas for the camera to catch correctly. Thats how I understand it at least :)
@prescapt because if you leave it in Av, when you turn to take the pics at the side, your meter is still free to change the settings based on what it sees.
using M, locks all settings in so when you stitch them together later, its guaranteed to be equally exposed over all pics.
Love watch your job, nice job.
Nice... that was the challenge I was waiting for... how to photograph cars :)))
@SlowChillMusic I use Photomerge which is available in Photoshop & Photoshop Eements
Great video, red and shinny are always good :)
Thank you.
Great video gavin
Could do a video showing how you make those panorama shoots? They are awesome.
@hikinguphigh Bracketing is setting your camera to shoot several images in succession at different exposure settings.... say -1EV, 0EV and +1EV for example. This way when you blend the three together you'll get more detail in the shadows and highlights - or a higher dynamic range. Hope that helps.
I've just watched this great video as I'm off to a Transport Museum tomorrow. What lens did you use?
you're very talented. great photos.
Another brilliant video.........Is there any chance you could do a video using a compact camera......I think it would be a nice change from using your top of the range DSLR
@hikinguphigh bracketing is a feature in some cameras which automatically changes the shutter speed in a sequence of 3 shots. this is so u have one darker one lighter and one normal shot. this is used to make hdr imagers
i am so excited when i see your videos
but in this video i think your shots are not that sharp as old videos of yours
it still great shots cause you inspire me in the photography world
keep up the good work
@hikinguphigh Bracketing is when you take a series of pictures, usually 3. The 3 will be one under exposed, one properly exposed and one overexposed. There can be many reasons to do this, one to make sure you get the proper exposure, one of the next being to make a HDR image.
@benjammin041:I stand corrected...not sure why I didn't realize that before...I mostly use polarizing filters to bring out the blue in the sky and make the clouds pop.
@hikinguphigh Bracketing does not necessarily have to be intended for HDR like the other guy said. It just means shooting the same scene with several exposures (or any camera setting for that matter) to increase available data(results). Think of it as giving yourself a margine to work with.
wow nice photos, interesting composure
This was really useful for me bcz I shoot a lot of car shows, swap meets, auto racing, etc. I really liked the panorama... going to try that at my next shoot. I wondered why you didn't use a polarizer to reduce reflection. You can turn the circular polarizer and allow more or less reflection. I rarely go without mine in the hot mid-day sun at these shows. Thanks for your great video tips! ~ Robin
hi! another very nice and informative video, i have learned a lot from you.
can i ask what lens are you using? when i saw it in the video i thought it was a 24 to 70mm L series but on your picture captions you have a 105mm shots.
thanks again, nice shots! and please don't get tired on posting tutorial videos
@BURL20111 A polarizing filter doesn't remove reflections from metal objects. Just from water or glass
My favorite!
@jesusfreakman Stitching a panoramic is pretty much all automatic. I use Photomerge which can be found in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. Just tell it which photos to joind and set it to auto. The HARDEST part is taking the photos.
@hikinguphigh i think it is when you shoot 3 shots from the same spot and then make a hdr image. one usuallu is overexposed the other underexposed so the image comes up in great quality.
@Maxsdiscos Most prime lenses have bigger aperture (Smaller f number like f/2) than inexpensive zoom lenses. That makes prime lenses brighter/faster (because more light can get in through a bigger 'hole') and more suitable to shoot in low-light conditions.
A great tutorial thank god for people like Gav
PS does anyone fel they may look daft taking shots on there own in a city or town center
What camara and lense are you useing ? very nice can you plzdo some more car show how tos plz
@ViewedVideo Thanks for your order, very kind of you :-)
Just ordered a Raw-Pack of 5 Budges! can't wait! ;)
I don't have those fancy DSLR features with my Canon SX610hs but It does far better and is faster than my Fuji film T550 I was using! anyway I can adjust exposure and ISO but don't know about all that tech fancy talk of f-stops, aperture priority etc. I love doing photography as a hobby and take many nature shots. Have over 800k views already on flikr so must be doing something right.
i am a big fan of panoramic images. i always have trouble when i get that close to the subject. could you supply some technical info on how you did it? what was your magnification set at? 24mm? what software did you use to stitch?
great series of videos. have learned a lot from them and can't wait for the next one.
many thanks.
Good stuff!
It's nice to see the camera information on each shot. Maybe another video on how the shots were edited!? ;~)
Bluebell railway, theres a fifteen minute challenge there as well Gavin,
@MikesPhotoStuff LOL Clearly I'm not an classic car expert :-)
love your vids Gvin...I really wish to meet you and just shake hands with you :)
cheers from Saudi Arabia
@hikinguphigh Bracketing is when you take the same shot but with different values ie:exposure.
Your version of classic cars is so much different than here in the states. We tend towards the muscles cars and amp'd up Detroit metal. You have a lot of kewl cars over there we don't see a lot of.
Hi Gavin, Watching all your videos and I think they're g8..., Can you tell me what lens you're using? Thanks - P.S. Keep up the great work!
Hi Gavin, thank you again!!! I got a question, how come when I do panoramic, my pictures or exposures changes? How or where do you set your focus to get the perfect exposure?
Just a thought, would be cool to see a photo challenge of moving objects? Or taking photos while moving, would be helpful too learn some techniques.
@muusers I agree a video of the process
Thank you very much.
@viigraphix Mostly Av ~ aperture priority
@hikinguphigh or the same but with depth of field using aperture adjustments
Why do you check the settings in Av mode then use the same settings in manual? Excellent vids btw.
@PBunnieP Good definition but for this video Gavin was dialling his own brackets , you can use this method for HDR but its really hard not to knock the camera.
Really nice! Especially with the shiny objects. Those aren't HDR? Did they just come out of your camera like that, or did you play with them using Photoshop? Either way, they're great!
Can you please explain how did you use the meter on this video
@rodbo Thanks!!!
Gavin, I was wondering if you ever use a polarizing filter when photographing shiny objects? While the reflections often add to the image, some reflections can be quite
annoying.
nice video ... one more time :)
May I ask you where I can find such a "strap" (is it the correct english word ?) for camera ?
Hi Gavin, Just wondering what edits/ filters you use in Photoshop to make the photos have such vibrance and crisp edges? Thanks! :)
how do you do the panoramic shot?
@eeeallan Take a look at my shutter speeds. They would have been half as fast at 100.
@MrBartonman when he's there doing it, he has 15 minutes to go around and take the photos, but he makes the video which he uploads only 5 mins long, i mean, im sure you dont want to just see him for 15 mins, wandering around aimlessly.
how do you do that pararama shot?
@MrWp97 That's got to be the happiest car ever. :D
A tutorial on locking your focus (as you moved yours left in one of the shots) would be great. Could you not have focus in centre and then moved the position of the camera slightly to the right, keeping the focus in place?
I always enjoy watching your videos, but to day I felt sick sorry to say but have you no IS on your video? Is it a new video camera? Not felt it like this before.
Other wise good as always
I have a nikon d5100 and i also tried to shot vintage cars for the first time. Have a look at my work too
could you please tell me why you kept on using iso 200 and not iso 100 when it was so bright?
@wilbertcs i dont know, you said you cant wait for 360p or higher, mine is standard at 360p, and if you click the 360p you can make it up to 720p.. did i misread?
Gav,
I have a prime lens and find it brighter than a zoom that I also have.
Do you find the same?
@krakadyll In the video Gavin enplanes he first takes a metering in AV mode, then enters those settings in manual mode...speed & f/stop. Then takes the shots.
hey gavin, could you please post a quick video of your post processing in photoshop because no photos i take of cars come out this well :)
Hey Gavin, Is that a Black Rapid strap? I was thinking about one. I'm still struggling with my original equipment nikon torture strap....
