Thanks Gavin. I love your videos!
THANK YOU Smickphoto and Gavin!!
He is so close to the Model, I’m sure he very close to 70mm
Nice one. Simple and efficiantly
@ny1fanta This is a continuous light not a strobe.
Fantasic Gav….. PS i hope your paying Fraya good money ha ha, great shots
and great ideas to try out thanks
Gavin now works for AdoramaTV there is a macro video due with tips but
there will be overview videos that will be made clear so you don’t have to
watch. We are still looking for a replacement presenter.
@gavtrain You really did great job, photos have nice artistic look to it. I
thought you might added a bit blue color to the background, because in
video it seemed really bright and white.
wow wow…stunting work Gavin…you rocks
That little girl is so beautiful…. she made me smile. Thanks for the
lessons, they help out alot!
@2zporygon You will find Gavin at his own channel Photogavin as the
tutorial explains this is using continuous lighting and Not flash the mode
would have been aperture priority.
You’re right. You can achieve a slightly greater depth of field by using a
longer portrait lens like a 100mm or 135mm Prime lens, while using a wide
open lens. You nailed the problem on the head when you said that a 1.2 or
1.4 f-stop on a shot lens (50mm or less) leaves you with too narrow of a
depth of field. Often the tip of the nose or back edge of the head are
noticeably out of focus at wide open.
@abdulwasay Not easy to see your models expressions clearly if you have an
ND3 or ND4 on tho
Yes, a slightly smaller f-stop would increase the depth of field perfectly.
i like gavin as he understands the word budget unlike most photographers
who think 800 or under is cheap for a lens
wrong theory! you can actually use a large aperture with flash for shallow
depth of field by simply using a neutral density filter on your lens!
what u really want is a 135mm f2.8 prime lens perfect for portraiture
Wow. Just amazing. You are truly a wonderful photographer, Gavin.
Well done Gavin…
WoW! someone please tell me where I can get that backdrop. it seems very
versatile and seamless. is it cloth, vinyl or paper?
the nifty fifty REPRESENT!
why are 70-200 2.8 such a good or popular portrait lens ?? or is it JUST
the fact that it’s 2.8 ? like any lens 2.8 or less is good ?
Approximately what focal length were you shooting at was a closer to 200 mm
or 100 mm?
youre the greatest, thanks
