You are my favorite person ever you seem so genuine I literally have to force myself not to watch your videos when they come out and try to wait til I have about 3 and I can binge watch them lol but they never last long enough
Another fantastic video from the only truly master of teaching....thanks Gav...you always know how to break things down...you have certainly come a long way from your vids with the Canon 40d......and.....do you remember this "Raw to the Core"!!!;)
Thanks Gavin and Charlotte. This session clarifies quite a bit about mixing light colors. I like how you took it step by step to get the desired results. Your method of training always makes it very clear.
Another terrific video, Gavin. Thank you. Because of the rather pronounced flicker of the LEDs, I would suggest you add a seizure warning at the beginning so people with certain neurological conditions can take appropriate precautions.
Thanks Gavin that’s brilliant and really helpful 👍👍 I really like your tethering setup and would be really interested in seeing how you do it in a future video and the software/hardware you’re using. Thanks again, absolutely love your videos and creatively 😃
I think Gavin at least mentioned it in one of his videos. He is using a USB cable from Tether Tools to connect the camera to the computer, and Capture One as the software to tether into. If you haven’t heard of Capture One, it’s a RAW developer with build in tethering functionality.
You are such a great photographer Gavin I would like to see you use the RX10 Miv in you studio shoots... sort the men from the boys that would.. ask Adorama for a great camera...
Wonderful as always Gavin ! If my model doesn't bail on me hopefully I will be doing this in a few days. ! Could you give me some info on the bulbs you're using ? Cheers !
The bulbs are the cheapest I could find (hence the terrible flickering). Oversized 4w bulbs help keep the heat super low but test them (carefully) before your shoot.
Thanks Gavin, love your tutorials and theyve helped my photography loads. Would you balance a coloured LED light source in the same way and would be able get a red/blue with the blue coming from the white balanced flashes?
Hi Jonathan. This only works if your LED light is warm or cold as you generally can't balance out green (for example) LED's in the same way. For other colour combinations gels or the flash (and possibly for the LED's) would be required.
@@GavinHoeyHoey Thanks, I usually use my laptop with it outputted to an external monitor but that tends to be cumbersome since I work from a home studio also and I always have to tear everything down at the end of the shoot. I was looking at the Amazon Fire HD which is only $89 and I'm thinking that would be a low-cost solution. The only problem is it only has one USB C connection and it says for power but I'll have to research more to see if I can use it as an input.
I was just thinking about this sort of balance of ambient and flash before this showed up. In my case I was looking at balancing a sunset behind a model with a flash to light the model. Pretty much the same thing with different light sources. The flash was very white compared to the orange/pink of the sunset and the image felt off because of that I think. I still need to get better at using gels to help balance a flash. Any specific gels you would recommend for the average speedlight? Thanks.
Good video and nice concept but not for me this only good for one idea to shallow depth of field i like mine at least f5.6 or f8 flash shutter speed doeos not matter with the flash but with LED yes they do plus look how dim your ambient studio lights have to be . To me its not worth the bother LED i can take it or not for product photography but anything else nope good video Gavin . Try doing a family shoot with led's and F2.8
Yep, really not a technique for you but as I'm sure you're aware there's a wide range of photographers out there. Mixing flash with less powerful lights is something many of us need to do. Just ask a wedding photographer!
I prefer the ones with the mix of colors for something more creative, after all as you said you dont do this every day :) model too cold and serious...
The low battery warning was giving me anxiety! Haha cheers. Killer video Gavin ❤
Super use of the LED bulbs, and their cool running. Loved Charlotte's make-up. Well done all !
Hi Alan. Charlotte's hair and make-up were spot on for sure!
Thank you for these simple explanations, experiments and actions.... Can't wait to test it here... Regards from Dakar Senegal
U R the master of photography .. U make the world of photography easy and amazing
Thanks Ramy 👍
I dont know are you a better phptographer but for sure you are my favourite
Absolutely amazing. This makes me think of many more possibilities working with ambient and/or adding gels to flash.
Yayy it's Mr. Gavin!!! I'm going to sit down and watch now.
I've done this several times already but still love the video and see how you do it.
Excellent! I’ve been waiting for somebody to create a video like this, Gavin! Thank you!!!
Your wait is over Wendy 😁
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant
Another awesome tutorial Gavin! 👍
Excellent video. It is good to hear how you worked out the settings as you went along.
Love how you made the LEDs a part of the theme/composition Not forgetting the adventurous colour balance embrace!
Thanks Matthew, it's a simple idea that worked out rather well 😊

Fun stuff as always Gavin. Thanks for putting this together. 🙂

Thanks Mike 👍
SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST VIDEOS
நன்றாக இருக்கிறது வாழ்த்துக்கள் MANOHAR ,CHENNAI - INDIA,*
Great video and photo
Another terrific video, Gavin. Thank you. Because of the rather pronounced flicker of the LEDs, I would suggest you add a seizure warning at the beginning so people with certain neurological conditions can take appropriate precautions.
Excellent video as usual Gavin - if you had a gel available, you said you didn't have one, what color would you have used
Great images.
Thanks Mark 👍
You're a gifted teacher. Thank you!
Do you have your E-M1 set for CAF? S-OVF?
Hi Mike. I use S-AF and eye detect AF.
Love your work do you have link for lights please
Excelent video as always.
Why not 2 videos per week????
Fantastic video gavin
Thanks Kirsty 😊
@@GavinHoey your welcome
Awesome
Great video. Any particular type or brand of hand holdable LEDs like you used I should look for?

Where _the smoke!?!_ I kept waiting for it 😂
Gavin, Im curious to know how you set up your image review on the LCD monitor behind you.
You are such a great photographer Gavin I would like to see you use the RX10 Miv in you studio shoots... sort the men from the boys that would.. ask Adorama for a great camera...
Awesome!!
Thanks Joseph 👍
Halloween vibes.
I didn't see that Brian but I can see where you're going 👍
Defenetly curious if this would work with speedlights!
It absolutely would work with Speedlights Paola. If you see a big flash running at low pwers (like 1/64 power) a Speedlight can easily match that :)
Super 🤝🤟🏼😎
So you use a slower shutter and open it up more until the bulbs are correctly exposed then you add your strobe?
Wonderful as always Gavin ! If my model doesn't bail on me hopefully I will be doing this in a few days. ! Could you give me some info on the bulbs you're using ? Cheers !

What monitor are you tethering too? Looks like a portable one
Really creative, love it 🙏
Hey Gavin great show as usual. A little off the topic but what is the monitor you’re using tethered to your camera?
Hi Joseph. That's my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 tablet / laptop.
@@GavinHoeyHoey Thanks, I usually use my laptop with it outputted to an external monitor but that tends to be cumbersome since I work from a home studio also and I always have to tear everything down at the end of the shoot.

@@BlackWindPro i tried using a tablet as a monitor and couldnt figure out how. I believe they are output only devices. No video input.
Güzel video.

Where did you get your LEDs?
How to work with gel in the flash

@@GavinHoey yes i do agree but but still has its limits and a lot of them
What softbox is that?
Hi Cody. You'll find links to the gear are in the video description Glow ParaPop 28"

anyone thinking about 12 % battery
LED bulbs link please Gavin
Trust me, with all that flicker you DON'T want these bulbs!
His answer is so obvious. He wasnt happy with the bulbs.
I prefer the ones with the mix of colors for something more creative, after all as you said you dont do this every day :) model too cold and serious...
