Shooting movement part II……
Yesterday we talked a bit about preparing the shoot and taking care of the model, today some more tips.
About technique and more.
Shooting movement…..
I think one of the most asked questions during my workshops were I also shoot motion must be the question “Frank, what shutter time do I use”. When I say that this in fact doesn’t matter (when shooting in the studio) I often get the question “You’re kidding, now tell me”. Somehow people have a problem of understanding shooting motion in the studio so I thought it would be interesting to do a small blog post with some tips about this subject.
Pictures shot during workshops in your portfolio ?
Ok, I hope this one will fire up a “healthy” discussion on Google+ and my blog, so feel free to join on both posts.
Normally I don’t have a lot of time to watch my favorite podcasts, but when I’m driving I have time and so yesterday (while driving) it was time to catch up to some “the grid” episodes, don’t worry I just listen while driving. And one episode triggered me to write this blog post, you can find it here : http://kelbytv.com/thegrid/2011/10/13/the-grid-episode-27/
As you might know I teach a lot of workshops, and during most of these workshops the students also shoot their images of course. The discussion on the Grid was something that I also discuss with my students, and I thought it would be fun to give you my PERSONAL opinion in this blog post. So hang on tight…. here we go.
New videos for Tethertools
It’s no secret that I’m a huge advocate of shooting tethered, the fact that you immediately see what you’re doing is just perfect on location or in the studio. And although some people claim that shooting tethered is something from the past the sheer amount of utilities and hardware/accessories and apps for your mobile devices is growing almost daily, proofing that shooting tethered is really a thing of NOW and not from the past ;-). A lot of people however ask me questions about shooting tethered, thinking they need a lot of gear while in reality they probably already have everything, and this was my main motivation to make the videos you see here.
I shoot with the Tethertools products which we also sell and promote in the Benelux. But as always I really believe in the quality of the products (otherwise I would not promote them). A few weeks ago I had to make a “rushed” video introducing the products and I never was completely happy with that video so it was time to make a new one, and because we also wanted one in Dutch I decided to make two, one in Dutch and one in English. In this blog post you can see both videos. I also included several tips and tricks to make your tethered solution work more easy and smooth.
