Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,530 --> 00:00:06,510
All right, so we are going to try
2
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:10,090
and do a backlit shot and you can
3
00:00:10,090 --> 00:00:13,150
really find great spots for doing backlit shits,
4
00:00:13,150 --> 00:00:16,490
shits, shots, shots, anywhere.
5
00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:18,670
It's, it's kind of fitting that I said
6
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:20,250
shit because we're right by an outhouse.
7
00:00:26,650 --> 00:00:30,470
You got some, you got some toilet paper
8
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:31,210
coming out.
9
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:36,130
Okay, uh, so yeah, we're right by an
10
00:00:36,130 --> 00:00:38,050
outhouse, but we've got this nice little stand
11
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:38,850
of trees here.
12
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:39,970
It's in the fall.
13
00:00:40,370 --> 00:00:41,750
I really like these yellow trees.
14
00:00:41,870 --> 00:00:42,670
I want to feature them.
15
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:45,710
Now, when we were talking about silhouettes, we
16
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:48,150
were always chatting about where's the brightest spot,
17
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:48,430
right?
18
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:49,930
Where's the brightest spot and can I put
19
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:50,530
my couple there?
20
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:53,090
Now we're kind of doing the opposite here.
21
00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:55,370
Now I'm asking myself, where's the darkest spot?
22
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:57,130
And the reason I'm looking for the darkest
23
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:58,450
spot now is because I'm looking for the
24
00:00:58,450 --> 00:01:00,110
area of highest contrast, right?
25
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:02,450
So where's darkest spot and can I light
26
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:03,230
my couple in there?
27
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:07,070
So I found a dark spot right in
28
00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:07,450
there.
29
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:10,170
The reason I'm drawn to it is because
30
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:11,150
A, it's dark.
31
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:14,830
B, it's framed by all these yellow trees
32
00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:15,590
and green trees.
33
00:01:15,650 --> 00:01:17,810
So we got green, we got yellow, we
34
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:19,070
got this nice dark spot.
35
00:01:19,430 --> 00:01:21,750
And within that dark spot, I'm going to
36
00:01:21,750 --> 00:01:24,210
try and backflash Satchian Florian.
37
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:25,910
We'll see how it goes.
38
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:28,130
All right, I'm going to send Satchian Florian
39
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:30,270
into this dark spot here and you guys
40
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:32,350
can keep all your layers on until I'm
41
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:33,610
ready to take the shot so you can
42
00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:34,390
stay nice and warm.
43
00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:36,590
Lani's going to head in with them too.
44
00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:37,890
He's going to hold the flash.
45
00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:41,030
This could easily be done with a light
46
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:41,490
stand.
47
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:44,130
Our light stands in the car right now.
48
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:45,430
I didn't want to run and get it.
49
00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:47,270
And plus Lani makes a really good light
50
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:47,570
stand.
51
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:51,660
So he's going to be my light stand
52
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:52,140
for this one.
53
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:55,200
But literally he's going to be standing holding
54
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:55,580
the light.
55
00:01:55,980 --> 00:01:57,200
So nothing fancy.
56
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,380
Okay, so head on in guys.
57
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,800
And I've chosen the 50 millimeter lens in
58
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,539
this case because as much as possible I'm
59
00:02:07,539 --> 00:02:09,120
trying to fill the frame with what I
60
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,900
find interesting.
61
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,460
So I find the yellow trees interesting.
62
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:14,940
I find the green trees interesting.
63
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,880
The sky I'm thinking is going to take
64
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,520
away from the shot more than it's going
65
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,560
to add to the shot.
66
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,160
The reason being is I'm going to very
67
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,240
intentionally place my highlight as a rim light
68
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,220
around the couple.
69
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:30,640
And if I have the sky in the
70
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,960
photo that's going to be a competing highlight.
71
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:34,600
And so the people that are looking at
72
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,860
the photo their eyes are going to, you
73
00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:38,780
know, they will see the backlight but they'll
74
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:40,900
be distracted by the sky whether they realize
75
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:41,380
it or not.
76
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:43,200
So I'm choosing a 50 so that I
77
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,340
can sort of really just zero in and
78
00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:46,240
eliminate the sky.
79
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,540
You guys can come in front of the
80
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:50,300
stump I think.
81
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,600
I think so.
82
00:02:57,460 --> 00:02:57,980
Okay.
83
00:02:57,980 --> 00:02:59,300
No, just where they were.
84
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:01,160
Yeah.
85
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,560
And so when you're ready you can take
86
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,400
your layers off.
87
00:03:09,260 --> 00:03:12,320
I know I'm using a backflash so I'm
88
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,760
going to go 1 200th of a second.
89
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:17,000
Right now I'm at f4 and I'm quite
90
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,480
liking that ambient exposure.
91
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,940
I've got f4 1 200th of a second
92
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:22,200
iso 100.
93
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:25,420
We're going to see if Linus just got
94
00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:27,380
one speed light 1a1.
95
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:28,980
We're going to see if that's strong enough
96
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:32,480
to get the light wrapped around our couple
97
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,120
to give them that nice rim light.
98
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,880
So basically I set my exposure for these
99
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,380
yellow trees which of course the yellow trees
100
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:44,480
have the natural light on them.
101
00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:47,380
Right where they are in the darkness has
102
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:49,060
a very different lighting scenario.
103
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,020
So that's why I'm using the flash to
104
00:03:51,020 --> 00:03:51,620
make them pop.
105
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:54,800
Okay so together at the hips guys and
106
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,160
this will just be a test shot this
107
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,680
first one.
108
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Okay Lani will probably be about four to
109
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,140
five feet behind the couple with the flash
110
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:07,180
aimed right at them and we're going to
111
00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:08,080
see what that looks like.
112
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:10,960
This is just basically trial and error here.
113
00:04:11,380 --> 00:04:12,580
I'm looking at each other.
114
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:21,840
Okay so already I'm seeing the couple really
115
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:25,040
don't pop that much because my exposure is
116
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,240
just a bit too bright on the yellow
117
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:27,860
leaves out here.
118
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,800
So I'm going to darken my exposure and
119
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,520
I'm going to do that by upping my
120
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:31,920
f-stop.
121
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:33,960
So I'm going to go from f4 to
122
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,600
f5 and let's see that.
123
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Is that flash at full power?
124
00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:43,340
Yeah or we could just try the b10
125
00:04:43,340 --> 00:04:45,140
but I think the flash is powerful enough.
126
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,280
Just try and keep it off the branches.
127
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:56,120
No I don't want a grid.
128
00:04:56,460 --> 00:04:58,800
No okay so looking at each other there
129
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,200
and together at the hips.
130
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:05,040
Okay let's see what that looks like.
131
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,600
I'm just zooming in because they're quite small
132
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,980
in the frame so I'm just zooming in
133
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:12,480
to see.
134
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:16,460
Okay that's that's not bad.
135
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,800
The backlight is wrapping around satchie really well.
136
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,900
It's not wrapping around florian really well.
137
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,480
So I'm going to have Lani maybe take
138
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,560
a step back and I'm going to have
139
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,780
him just slightly point the flash a little
140
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:34,320
bit more towards Florian than then satchie.
141
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:36,700
Just these tiny little micro adjustments can make
142
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:37,360
all the difference.
143
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,420
Okay perfect looking at each other there.
144
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,180
Awesome.
145
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:49,380
Okay let's see here.
146
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,820
Oh Florian could you take off your hat
147
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:56,240
for one?
148
00:05:57,380 --> 00:06:00,280
The reason I'm doing that is he's got
149
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:02,480
this great rim light around his face and
150
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,160
I noticed the rim light ceased to exist
151
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,500
around where his hat was.
152
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:08,840
He's got nice blonde hair so I think
153
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,140
his hair is going to pick up the
154
00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:11,840
rim light more than his hat is.
155
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Satchie's tooth picks up the rim light really
156
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,000
well because it's quite fibrous.
157
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,580
It's a it's a wool toque.
158
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:30,010
Okay okay okay oh that's
159
00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:30,670
way better.
160
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:32,590
Okay perfect and now what I'm going to
161
00:06:32,590 --> 00:06:33,870
do is I'm just going to try one
162
00:06:33,870 --> 00:06:35,850
with the 85 because you guys are really
163
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:37,250
small in this one and I just want
164
00:06:37,250 --> 00:06:39,050
to just want to see what it looks
165
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:39,550
like really.
166
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:41,890
They're very very small in the 50 frame
167
00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:43,630
and I want them small because it's more
168
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,570
of an environmental picture as opposed to one
169
00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:46,270
that's about them.
170
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:50,170
It's them in the environment but I'm just
171
00:06:50,170 --> 00:06:51,750
thinking they might be a bit too small.
172
00:06:51,750 --> 00:06:53,710
So I just want to keep my options
173
00:06:53,710 --> 00:06:54,950
open for later on.
174
00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:58,390
But everything else is staying the same.
175
00:06:58,910 --> 00:06:59,910
I'm still at f5.
176
00:06:59,970 --> 00:07:01,590
I'm still at 1 200th of a second.
177
00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:04,370
I'm centering them right in the frame.
178
00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:07,770
Let me zoom in.
179
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:12,990
I'm just going to try I'm just going
180
00:07:12,990 --> 00:07:15,090
to try one where I go really really
181
00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:18,630
dark with my ambient because I'm still even
182
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:21,450
though I've got this backlight around them I
183
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:22,950
was hoping they'd be more of a silhouette
184
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:24,990
in the front with a backlight whereas I
185
00:07:24,990 --> 00:07:26,510
still see quite a bit of detail on
186
00:07:26,510 --> 00:07:26,870
their front.
187
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:29,270
So I'm just gonna kill my ambient even
188
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:29,530
more.
189
00:07:29,610 --> 00:07:32,890
I'm gonna go up to like f7 point
190
00:07:32,890 --> 00:07:35,790
maybe I'll even try f8 which means my
191
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:39,330
flash probably won't be strong enough but I
192
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:40,550
might bring out something stronger.
193
00:07:41,710 --> 00:07:44,030
Oh yeah this is way better this is
194
00:07:44,030 --> 00:07:46,610
way better the darker because then they're really
195
00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:48,130
in a dark spot and they just pop
196
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:49,970
a lot more with that rim light.
197
00:07:50,770 --> 00:07:52,590
You're at full power with that flash though
198
00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:52,870
right?
199
00:07:55,490 --> 00:07:59,650
Actually it's fine it's it's it's fine even
200
00:07:59,650 --> 00:08:01,570
though that even though I've lost quite a
201
00:08:01,570 --> 00:08:03,150
bit of power with my flash going from
202
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:07,150
f5 to f8 they actually pop more just
203
00:08:07,150 --> 00:08:09,050
because I've darkened my ambient so much so
204
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:12,350
my ambient's really dark now and they they
205
00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:14,530
just pop it's just because there's it's more
206
00:08:14,530 --> 00:08:15,350
contrasty.
207
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:17,570
Okay so one more and then we're good.
208
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:27,160
Okay we're good and so I just want
209
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,200
you to notice the number of steps and
210
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,539
little problems that I was trying to solve
211
00:08:32,539 --> 00:08:33,380
along that way right?
212
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,080
So I started with a 50 I started
213
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,840
way too bright then I darkened it then
214
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,700
I went to the 85 then I realized
215
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:42,539
that maybe I should go a little darker
216
00:08:42,539 --> 00:08:44,400
so then it went a little darker and
217
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,580
then it took you know that whole process
218
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:48,820
to get to the result that I'm somewhat
219
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:52,600
happy with so although I'm never really totally
220
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,160
happy but that's just the life of a
221
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,600
photographer.
222
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,480
This seems to be about the sweet spot
223
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,900
when we're backlighting about six feet but again
224
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:09,500
it's like tasting the soup do we need
225
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,160
to adjust closer further back but this seems
226
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,300
to be the sweet spot and generally I'm
227
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,320
I'm holding the flash I want to shoot
228
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,540
straight line of fire straight through the couple
229
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:21,600
towards Erica's camera and so I generally want
230
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,200
to go as high as I can before
231
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,420
her camera sees it in between them because
232
00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:27,160
then she gets a big flare right and
233
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,640
that tends to give us the best full
234
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,380
wraparound rim light results.
235
00:09:32,380 --> 00:09:34,560
Communication so Eric and I basically just communicate
236
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:36,400
back and forth with each other if you're
237
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,680
by yourself obviously you look at the shot
238
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,060
you go and you make your adjustments on
239
00:09:40,060 --> 00:09:41,840
the light stand but if you've got a
240
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,620
voice activated light stand like we do in
241
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:45,620
this case Erica can just tell me higher
242
00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:46,500
lower left right.
243
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,180
I can kind of eyeball it by looking
244
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:51,380
at the at the at the couple and
245
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:54,480
seeing how the light falls but really it's
246
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,740
kind of a shot in the dark Erica's
247
00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:57,100
can be the best judge of it because
248
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:58,340
she can see it on her camera.
249
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Often we think as photographers we have to
250
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,900
move quick right we have to move super
251
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:09,380
fast our clients are waiting waiting for us
252
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:10,980
to tell them what to do next but
253
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:13,100
you can slow it down especially in these
254
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:16,180
portrait shoots especially on these engagement shoots right
255
00:10:16,180 --> 00:10:18,380
you can you can just slow it down
256
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:21,440
slow it down take your time look at
257
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,880
your photo analyze the adjustments that you need
258
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,080
to make and make them right and that's
259
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,120
how you get better and that's how you
260
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,540
make an image that you're happy with at
261
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:34,280
the end as opposed to getting back to
262
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,180
the studio and wishing you'd done something else.
263
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:42,080
So that is backlight with a flash outdoors.
