I use all three tips when I shoot at high noon and I must say that I agree with you that Shooting in the mid of the day can be challenging however the results can be fascinating!
Obrigado, Garota! Seria fácil te escrever em ingles, mas gosto de lembrar que sou do Brasil e esta convidada pra vir aqui. Amei especialmente a ultima foto pela iluminação contrastada. Fantástica!
Some really good tips. I have made a DIY scrim Jim and that works a treat. Does need two people to hold though ! Is it my eye sight or is the model is really tiny !
Great video tutorial in the last week I have watched almost all of what you have put out there can't wait to see more....with that had a few questions... 1. How do you handle V-flat on a windy day - any V-flat world or others provide to make sure it does not blow away? 2. When shooting mid-day what is F-stop range you are usually shooting at? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! To answer your questions: 1. I always have an assistant holding my v-flats so something like wind isn't an issue for me personally. Anything that big is going to be subject to falling over with the slightest wind unless you have someone holding it or construct some sort of contraption made of stands and the v-flat to hold it together. 2. Depends on a variety of factors including if you want a narrow depth of field for a soft background etc. If it's super sunny out you'll probably be shooting with your lens stopped down a bit to let less light in. If you're a confident manual shooter than you can just plug in your general starting point and adjust from there. Alternatively putting it on one of the other modes like auto to get what the camera thinks is the 'right' starting point could help you in plugging those numbers in manually then adjusting.
These tips are amazing and I loved how you explained everything. Can you please share some tips for these type of photos without any assistance? I don't have any assistance so it's kind of hard to do this by myself. Any tip will be good!
Great Video and great suggestions. I wondered if you could give me some advice. I shoot sports teams and individual roster photos. I'm not near almost all the easy suggests for finding shade or bounce. I have to move quickly from one field to another to get the teams so my gear must be easily mobile. To make matters worse, I shoot between 2-5 and the sports complex is near the beach so wind can be a problem. I have no assist and practice is in full swing while I do it, so helpful other people and not available. So I was wondering what type of stand would be able to support an open large umbrella (or some other device) and also hold a reflector in case I need it. I think if I had one piece of grip equip, I could wheel it from field to field with my push cart. If you think something else would be better, please suggest. Thanks so much.
To be honest I think you (a) need an assistant and (b) need a strobe like the B10+ or something else 500watt and with HSS capabilities. The stand check out the new savage stand but you'll also need a sandbag.
Take advantage of the sunny 16 rule and the poor dynamic range of the camera to darken backgrounds while maintaining great color in the full sun. Thanks for the great advice
No just making the point that exposing for bright light can push the shadows down to hide an otherwise cluttered background. Our eyes can see the clutter but the image will hide it.
hi, how about if a client wants/needs/'demands' a wide photo (senior portraits) in front of an important school building, and in front of a 1pm harsh slight?
I'm one of those photographers who avoids mid day light! I'd like to change that and learn to work in it without panic lol! What size is that umbrella ?!
@@kenlor71 To protect your lens yes,. But try attaching and removing it for the same shot in different light directions. wont make a difference in some.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Yes, I know it's just when I see the images so sharp that it's clinical...we see the faults of the skin, that I think to myself it is more beautiful shoot analog....But don't worry, I understood the video well. It's very interesting and we learn a lot! :-) have a nice day....
I suppose it's the medium too. If you're viewing it in a full sized print versus in a video it might look different both shot analog and digital. So consider how you're viewing it too. It's hard to tell if it would "look better", especially since you can't zoom in etc to view it's full detail.
Been there, done that, except for the V flat. Harder to do with no assistance. As usual very, very well done. Says everything it needs to say in 4 minutes.
@@lindsayadlerphoto I agree, it was rude and stupid, but it was the first thing that popped into my mind because I never understood why women paint their eyebrows like that. Sorry.
What an incredible looking model!!!!
I love mid day light! Just about controlling it. I feel golden hour is always a race against the clock too
Short , sweet, direct to the point! Very helpful tips! Glad I came across your channel when I did. Thanks.

@@lindsayadlerphoto Amazing you still can take the time to reply ! Just love your work and mastery of light ! BRAVO !
thank you for taking the time to watch! :)
Lindsayyyyyyyy yeeiiihhhh, i love your videos, educational, fun and idea filled keep it up. BTW when are you doing another critique video?
Thank youuuu! I'm not sure when I'll be doing another critique video but I do have them planned for sure, so keep your eyes peeled! :D
You are magic Lindsay! But what could we do if have no one holding reflector or diffuser, no shady spots but just full hurting sun without any clouds?
have the subject hold a shoot through umbrella over their head!
This was so good! Such beautiful images even when you didnt soften the sunlight! And what a beautiful model!
Thank you so much!
Great video , I need this diffuser ...
SAME
It comes in handy for sure!
These tips are amazing and I loved how you explained everything. Can you please share some tips for these type of photos without any assistance? I don't have any assistance so it's kind of hard to do this by myself. Any tip will be good!
Really just have to have things like c-stands and sand bags in place to try to hold things that an assistant would.
The big umbrella diffuser, how big was that?
Great Video and great suggestions. I wondered if you could give me some advice. I shoot sports teams and individual roster photos. I'm not near almost all the easy suggests for finding shade or bounce. I have to move quickly from one field to another to get the teams so my gear must be easily mobile.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic here or what.
No just making the point that exposing for bright light can push the shadows down to hide an otherwise cluttered background. Our eyes can see the clutter but the image will hide it.
Ah gotcha gotcha. Great point! :)
Good information, but I never have three or four people around to hold scrims or reflectors.
There are different ways of doing things. :)
hi, how about if a client wants/needs/'demands' a wide photo (senior portraits) in front of an important school building, and in front of a 1pm harsh slight?
Either use it to your advantage or find a big scrim! lol
Do you have a post processing video?
Not specifically on this, but many of my other videos go into the post processing of images.
And now I need Westcott diffusion umbrella. 🙃
Seriously such a useful tool and costs less than $100.
lol there are others as well
I'm one of those photographers who avoids mid day light! I'd like to change that and learn to work in it without panic lol!
What size is that umbrella ?!
Totally! You can achieve a lot of great results in direct sunlight. There's a link to the umbrella in the description toward the bottom. :)
@@lindsayadlerphoto Thanks Lindsay! Always appreciate your advice and straightforward explanations!!
Time to go shopping!!
Glad you enjoyed it. The big umbrellas are very useful for a number of reasons (even when it rains... lol j/k)
What do you do if you don’t have someone helping you to hold diffusers?
They make stands for that. :D
Hello what is the size of your white umbrella
Westcott 7ft!
Tip#4: use your lens hood!
Why? It doesn't apply here because I'm not shooting into the sun, and that is used to help ward off flare. Did you see any flare?
I agree. I always use one.
😉
@@kenlor71 To protect your lens yes,. But try attaching and removing it for the same shot in different light directions. wont make a difference in some.
Nice done but It will be nicer shoot with an analog camera and 120mm film....will be not so sharp but softer and more organic, digital is too clinic.
Not really relevant to this video.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Yes, I know it's just when I see the images so sharp that it's clinical...we see the faults of the skin, that I think to myself it is more beautiful shoot analog....But don't worry, I understood the video well. It's very interesting and we learn a lot! :-) have a nice day....

Well then you learned something new. :P
Those eyebrows.. lol Like Uncle Leo from Seinfeld.. or someone painted two boomerangs on your forehead.
What a stupid and rude comment.
