I'm not sure if I missed Gavin's explanation, but for those who want to try this, setting your camera/lens to manual focus and focusing on a spot in the room where the dancer will end up, is an effective way to get the flash exposure sharp.
That “oops” first curtain sync looked really cool too! I like that you showed this, because it teaches about rear curtain sync, and about how you can even be creative with the first curtain sync as well!
Gavin Hoey, a brilliant photography instructor and the perfect antidote to photographic ruts. Always fun to watch, lucidly explained, and you walk away itching to try out yourself what he's been up to. Great job by Sophie and the studio assistant too. 👍
Teaching and creating fine art pieces at the same time. You’re like a tenth degree black belt who has achieved mastery at levels of knowledge that the rest of us don’t even know exist. You really have outdone yourself with this one, Gavin.
Rear curtain best explanation ever. Clear, precise, in less than 10 mins. I watched like 8 videos before watching this. Now I know exactly how to use it. Fantastic job!
Love the big kid in Gavin. Others produce photographs. Gavin creates slices of something like a movie or a play. No, more like still life images that just happen to have people in them as part of the props. Like his film noir, self-portrait video. He was like a piece of the whole still-life photo. Gavin is always enthusiastic, playful, and manages to pass on the how-to in a way that is both entertaining and informative.
Gavin just has a way of simplifying it all. NOW I understand how to do this. He's right though, Seth Miranda is the King of the Shutter Drags for portraits. No photoshopping by Seth, just straight from the camera it's stunning!
Funny and highly entertaining, yet also incredibly instructive and informative. Gavin and his team are absolutely stunning in what they do and deliver to us.
I would add that you can use the "BULB" shutter setting so you can control with more precision when to close the shutter,this way your model (dancer) doesn't have to wait for the flash to fire since it will fire as soon as you release the shutter button, and you can release the shutter as soon as she finishes the movement or even capture her in the air. For those who don't know BULB setting is a "shutter speed setting" where the photographer controls the exact time the shutter is open, when you press the shutter button it opens the shutter and as soon as you release the shutter button it closes. Very useful setting for this type of scenario.
Having a remote trigger is useful when doing long exposures so you aren't vibrating the camera holding in the shutter button. Although doing a shot like this, it may not matter.
Beautiful images! Gavin, thanks for showing and explaining how that technique is done. You blew me away when you showed the early image that was sharp on the left and blurry on the right (LED side).
Who says Blur can't be gorgeous? Spectacular video Gavin. Very fascinating concept. Again you are just so creative and fascinating. Thanks for sharing this video.
I've seen tons of Gavin's videos and there are many very good ones, but this is the absolute best !! The background music works so well. Thanks, Gavin, Sophie and Adorama.....

Thank you. I was wondering about that.
Contents like these can make you very grateful for having UA-cam in our time!

Sophie did a great job working within the limits of the room! I can only imagine what she could do with a large space!
Indeed Rhonda. It was a challenge, even for an experienced dancer, to repeat dance moves over and over again in very little room.
Gavin has been the best photographer on Adorama for years!

Love Gavin! His enthusiasm and his teaching/skills makes his tutorials fun to watch. Thanks Gavin for being YOU. You are appreciated
This girl is a joy to watch dancing.

When you think you seen every technique, Gavin comes out and shows a new and easier way.

Thanks for the kind words 👍
Thanks for the shoutout Gavin! Great video always a fun technique
You're so much more than pop and blur but BLIMEY Seth, you're the best at it!

Very well explained well done Gavin
Phillip, I remember you covering the same subject in a video featuring a beautiful dancer named Georgia.
Best photography tutor in social media.
that Union Jack shot is incredible !
Gavin, you are simply the best of all! thank you with all my heart
Brilliant. Gavin is one of the top photographers and teachers - an expert !
Thanks Iain 👍
Shutter Drag. My lovely part of photography.
Gavin, Seth has some strong competition for master of pop and blur. Great images. Thanks Sophie, Gavin, Hannah and Sam.👍😀🇨🇦
Don't tell Seth but I binge watched every single one of his pop and blur videos just before I recorded this 😉
@@GavinHoey it paid off and I will never tell. 😀
Amazing simplistic approach --- Thank you Gavin 🙏
Gavin always a pleasure to watch
There are no words to say about this experiment amazing work, thanks...

Have you tried it? Does it really work?

Thanks for the kind comments 👍

This is awesome 😎
Great content Gavin Hoey..... Everything is well explained with possible mistakes that we can make...

Who says Blur can't be gorgeous? Spectacular video Gavin. Very fascinating concept. Again you are just so creative and fascinating. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks Shawn. Blur when it's unwanted = bad thing. Blur when it's planned + good thing. Gotta love photography 😉
@@GavinHoey Indeed. I do have to agree with you. But in your case, blur here was gorgeous.
Beautiful! I've always wanted to shoot something like this, thanks for the great content as always!
Amazing photos! thank you so much
Very interesting analogy to explain this. I enjoyed the explanation and seeing it in action.
Awesome - the image with the flag is outstanding - great model as well.
Gavin the best teacher! Thank you!
Thanks for great explanation, the one with the flag is a big big WOWWWWWWWW amazing.
Everything seems easier when explained by Gavin. Great video as always! Thank you!
I love it , excelent job , Congratulations , strong hug from Portugal Jpalma
This was a really good technical explanation.
marvelous presentation
best demo ever
Brilliant technique
Always like trying to do this style, but never in a small home studio. Well done to all, the results look wonderful !
I think 15' is about as small a space as you can get away with for a full length shot Alan!
Maybe just drop a dress, or let her spin?
Brilliantly done! Thank you for sharing. 😊
excellent demonstration
Hola Gavy...como activar las segunda cortina en cámara ....gracias saludos desde cali-colombia.
Very helpful. One thing that wasn't mentioned was a preference for the model to end her movement with her face side on to the camera.
Thank! This morning I had a photoshoot with the tip you shared
beautiful effects, a beautiful and talented model :)
the things I learn watching Garvin Hoey on @Adorama tv. Awesome stuff!
Gavin is my favorite photographer! so creative and unique but at the same time very humble and fun.
Amazing as always...thanks Galvin
Great. Thanks Sophie and Gavin. Stay safe.
Simply beautiful, and soooo inspiring. Thanks a lot.
Excellent as always.
Best bang for buck! So much info articulated and quick accurately

Thank you Gavin!
Fantastic video Gavin. I missed your old small home studio, but getting used to this bigger small home studio 😁.
Hi Dee. My old studio was bigger by Sq foot but new one is a couple of feet wider (and with loft storage). It's still small, trust me!
Thank you and very well done. I knew everything but the black background
This is so beautiful ! Fantastic explaination as well! Thank u
I've seen tons of Gavin's videos and there are many very good ones, but this is the absolute best !! The background music works so well. Thanks, Gavin, Sophie and Adorama.....
Awesome ❤
Thank you both!
Love this kind of photography Gavin! Awesome as always 👍
Spectacular demonstration. Inspires me to try this with my silks and other related types of shoots
You are always amazing Boss...
Amazing video. amazing Sophie and of cause amazing Gavin !
Really cool! Thank you! (Also, so glad you do this with an Olympus camera.)
Thanks Dale. Like all my Adorama TV videos, the camera brand isn't a limiting factor but well done for noticing 😉
