Olympic Area Photography - Industrial Zone

[TheMrisaace]

makes a change, nice to watch a relaxed video with a photographer looking like hes enjoying it :)

[kpw528]

That ending panorama shot was brilliant dude. Just found your channel today, consider me subbed.

[NFphotography14]

This inspired me even more to do my photography. Cheers Gavin. :)

[ChillerKane]

I have watched every one of your videos...I think. Thank you for sharing, and all the inspiration Gavin.

[hyacinthdibley]

Oh wow. Great Compositions.

So you decided to go there to show off your photo-taking skills to the normal citizens, eh?

While everyone was using little point-and-shoot cams, Mr. Gavin Hoey pulls out this huge camera and starts acting all professional. lol

Don't mind me. Seriously, I hope to get to this level someday; hopefully soon.

[MDCCCLXXIV]

You look a bit like David Mitchell on your videos.

[paulbrooksbank1]

@MDCCCLXXIV Is that a good thing?

[england2345able]

hey gavin, when you take your panos with your 24-105 L lens do you take the shots into raw and adjust them all to the sync??and do you use lens profile correction in raw on all the shots?

so if you take a pano of six shots into raw do you lens correct them all??

cheers

[SirOpusculum]

THAT'S THE LENS I BOUGHT! THE 70-300!!! Oh my god, Gavin "Best Photographer in the World" Hoey is using "my" lens! AAAAH!

[Ev1scerate]

I don't know if these images is edited, but could you show us how they look when you shot them, and then how they looked after photoshop?

[TheJGphotos]

Whens part 2?

[Alwaysinvtec]

I got a question for you Gavin. I'm wondering what it is about the Canon 24-105 that you like so much? I see that you use it in most of your videos so yeah, just curious as to why you choose that over any other lenses you may have? I'm about to buy this lens so any input would be great. Thanks

[ibrahimalghamdi94]

Hey Gavin,

Do you recommend the Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens? I'm looking for a good telephoto lens for the price. I also want to buy a macro filter for this lens for shooting macro. Will this lens be a good choice? I have a Canon 550D.

Cheers from Canada! :)

[new25ash]

Hi Gavin

On the HDR shots how come the people come out still and not moving i.e. no ghosting?

[dubi186]

Hello Gavin, can you make a video or write how to merge 5 images of same exposure to make a panoramic photo. thanks

[ibrahimalghamdi94]

Amazing shot @ 3:47!!

[Nacho6037]

Love your videos especially the photoshop how too's. Well you haven't put anything wrong out really. Keep it up. From LA.

[altitudealchemy]

Cool video Gavin, thanks!!

[KungFUcat10]

I do like the panaramic shot, you make it look very natural ..thanks GH

[KungFUcat10]

at 1.58 can you see me waving at you I live there , "If i new you were coming I would have baked a cake" OK i dont I live 200 miles North but if I did I would have baked a cake....

[MrCrazyeyes001]

Can some one tell what kind of picture did he took at the end of his video?. He took 6 pictures and they were combined to one wide picture.

[trueilarim]

@MrCrazyeyes001 Gavin says the name himself: Panorama. You can read about it from wikipedia under Panoramic photography. Gavin most likely combined the picture together with Photoshop using Photomerge tool but there is also free software available (google it).

[MrCrazyeyes001]

@trueilarim Thanks

[xenonZiLLa]

Gavin,do a 15 minute photo challenge on autumn forest!

[Elmooasd]

How come I can't find your tutorial for panorama picture? If there isn't one, you should totally make it. Please.

[TheNormanvsNorman]

Awesome!

[AntMan1007]

This is one of the more interesting videos I've seen so far! I love the explanations of all your shots and thank you for listing the equipment you used.

[jkddaddy]

what did you mean "5 exposures" on your Canon? you were still taking 3 exposure brackets. Did you mean 5 stops of range across the 3 exposures?

[alreacon]

i want to destroy hdr

[AXNJXN1]

Another excellent vid Gavin! Thanks for voicing over and explaining the exposures reasoning and brief explanations why you are adjusting them. Thanks for all the great breakdowns your vids.

[davefk]

Surprised you were not arrested for being a terrorist etc... Who is documenting the streets of the UK anymore?

[egavasnai]

When shooting a panoramic shot consisting of a number of images, you don't appear to set your focus to manual. Is this correct, as I thought you were supposed to preset it before shooting?

[1957WalkerAdrian]

Thanks, another great lesson, must get of my arse and get out.

[princedawson]

Gavin ..where is the intro music for your 15 minute photo challenge ?? :( Missed that :(

[jane1975]

Great video, I liked the wide shot at the river-the result looked like a tilt shift effect. Look forward to part two and the 7 people whom hated this video are jealous idiots!

[ExtremeFireRisk]

Hi Gavin! Awesome video as usual! Can you maybe do a tutorial on how you took and edited the photo at 3.47 ? I really love the feel coming from that image but have never been able to capture one myself. (I have a 550d)

Thanks Heaps!

[abdiasnahum]

Super like !! Gavin you're my inspiration to go to the streets and get some good shots !!!!

[reggiecl]

Nice shots Gavin...

[Napster2k]

Hey garvin i love your show´s what program are u using to cut panorama? still feel very new to photo buth i learn more and more with every video u make.

[ajayalmighty]

This is a terrific video! It really inspires me to go out an shoot. Could you also do some videos about shooting in the fall/winter?

[yrahcaz41194]

No! At 2:46, why would you toss out such beautiful warm colors and make the photo black and white? I love those warm tones.

[koolmind81]

How did you get a HDR photo with two guys walking on the backgrond (I'm talking about the puddle shot)?

[ReverieImage]

@koolmind81 that's what I was wondering too!

[memkills]

Canon needs to incorporate a 3 round burst mode for HDR

[d3lirium]

Wait ... Where is the amazing country music ?

Beautiful shots as well Gavin, Really interesting :)

[bobbyp28]

Gavin

that panorama was outstanding...what did you mean by the sun being 90 degrees (behind you or above the horizon..??) Also how did you stitch them all together?



[zennybobZz]

lol cuz ive just started my photography course i know everyone u mean when u are talking about the camera im so proud and ur photos are really good

[lwh110391]

Hi there Gavin, I was planning to invest some money on equipment, I wanted to ask which to invest first no your opinion, A 50mm f/1.4 prime or a 580Ex2 Speedlite ? I own a general zoom lens and a cheap telephoto lens for now.

[JinJinDoe]

Hey Gavin! Another great video, as always. :) Could you share some personal tips on what to look for when shooting buildings like you are here? Because When I go out it just looks like a plain building, what I shoot. I try to find a fun angle, some texture or interesting detail, but it still comes out really bland.

[iAlessandroOriginal]

Gavin can you please make another video in which you explain how to create an HDR image? I'm not getting good results using Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro and I see in your videos you know how to do it.. :) I cross my fingers

Thank you

[TauBuuVuong]

Hi Gavin Hoey, i've been watching your videos and i noticed that you like shooting HDR photos a lot. I tried but i failed on HDR, i don't know whether you bracketing your shots with RAW or JPEG definition?

Thank you, Gavin Hoey!

Your fan.

[adamziaja]

3:32 - can you show tutorial or LR/PS settings how you made that colors :)? or it is just +blacks +warm color?

[adamziaja]

Canon gang, our bro :D! Thx for tutorial :)!

[101jumpit]

Photomatix also has an anti ghosting feature too !

[TheStutenberg]

Very nice video! What photos can you find in a scene and how do you realise them.... I could watch tons of this.

[killingyou22]

Hi Gavin, can I ask about how to create a HDR photo and how to snitch photos together to create a panaroma? I'm new in photography and also Photoshop. Thanks!

[MPAlefzero]

Hi Gavin.

Great job.

Just a litle question: what do you use as a camera strap? It is not the usual and seems to be very practical.

Thanks

[jameslcr]

@MPAlefzero gav uses a black rapid think its the rs-7 i use the rs-sport superb straps highly recommended

[MPAlefzero]

@jameslcr

Thanks a lot

:-))

[animesh099]

how to do 5 exposure shots for hdr i didn get it

[eforce1200]

Gavin is so good.

[fwzghl]

Why do you take light metering (not sure if that's in P mode) then you switch to M mode? I mean what's the idea of shooting in M mode, rather than in P mode where you did the light metering?

[PhotoGavin]

@fwzghl I metered in Av for the middle of the panorama. Switching to M and entering the meter values ensure all the shots in the pano blend without banding.

[whitereaver700x]

Microsoft ICE is also neat for panorama shots, for those who don't have Photoshop.

[hongfei95]

Why do you always put your f-stop so high and wish to have fast shutter speeds ?

[prakkari]

@hongfei95 I guess it's because he is not shooting on a tripod. This way he should be able to get rid of blur and shakes. Just my guess though.

[prakkari]

@hongfei95 That is: High ISO, fast shutter, gives sharper pictures in such conditions.

[spikyhead180]

Have you done any tutorials on HDR? Because I can never get my images to look as good as yours. They always look distorted. Is there any kind of secret tip?

[PhotoGavin]

@spikyhead180 I have a free eSeminar on HDR coming up on 1st dec 2011. Search google for "Adobe UK events" to find details & register

[ecbonifacio]

Amazing video and photographs, as always!

[Chubsterwoo]

was that trash in the river!

[chris5903]

waaah. your camera bag is the same as mine.... but :( it was stolen with my camera.

[adamziaja]

@chris5903 what is this bag company/model?:)

[chris5903]

@adamziaja lowepro fastpack. :)

[marioKhom]

@chris5903 hmmm, maybe Gavin did that

[chris5903]

@chris5903 i dont mean that gavin did that. LOL. i just miss photography. LOL

[maxpower285]

hey, what type of lenses do you have there, whats the 3 click thingy you hear,

[00sven00sven00]

@maxpower285 Look up HDR photography, the camera is taking 3 photos at 3 different exposures.

[maxpower285]

@00sven00sven00 hey thanks for the info really helped me out :o)

[mynamespelled]

I just love the way you do it! Easy, right to the point and a ton of information! Thanks again!

[appacana]

good to see you Gavin, do you guys even like the Olympic will be held there? London looks tight

[krc7878]

nice panorama shot especially!

[mainIevent]

One question Gavin, when you bracketed the shot of the people walking down the pathway and created a HDR, how did you minimise ghosting of the people walking during your 3 (or more) exposures used for the HDR? Did you created a pseudo-HDR from a single RAW exposure? Or did you manage the ghosting some other way?

Thanks

Julian

[PhotoGavin]

@mainIevent That was three shots, two stops apart. I used HDR Pro in Photoshop CS5 which features a handy "Remove Ghost" feature.

[adamziaja]

@mainIevent u can made HDR from 1 RAW with -2,0,+2 EV

[Everywhere2]

Superb. Thinking out loud for us is really informative, Gavin. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[BI6RICK]

@Everywhere2 That's EXACTLY why I keep coming back!

[MrBlofeld007]

great vid.

[pelermon]

It would be interesting to see a comparison of Camera HDR and Photoshops HDR Toning for a single shot.

[Madwand1]

Why does 4:30 look like like Tilt Shift?

[aleksandersandstrom]

@Madwand1 photoshop

[ny1fanta]

Love ur videos, but can you do a video how you edit each photos? I am really curious what you do in photoshop. Thanks

[aodes83]

man u just genius 

[Madwand1]

You put your lens in your bag with no inside lens cover. Do you do that with all of them?

[hikinguphigh]

nice video gavin. i always find your videos so inspiring. and i loved that panorama at the end.

kind regards

[TheBlackKnob]

how many minutes was this challenge? =P

[Lumpurman]

Hi Gavin, What is your personal preference Canon or Nikon? My preference is Nikon, my next camera will be a D5100. Is that a good choice or not? Thanks!

[PhotoGavin]

@Lumpurman I use Canon because that's the system I bought many years ago. If you're starting from scratch Both Canon & Nikon make excellent cameras. On their own neither take great photos... that's your job ;-)

[Lumpurman]

@PhotoGavin You're totally right. I have a nikon d50 now and its not in a great shape anymore :(

@adamziaja I think they're both great and this is a discussion that could go on and on :P

[MrYawn1]

@PhotoGavin and sony ;)

[adamziaja]

@Lumpurman Canon is better :D

[MacEliot]

Canon 5D mark II is considered to be one of the top DSLR's, is that your experience as well?

[PhotoGavin]

@MacEliot Depends on the job. For landscape, portrait & lowlight it's great... for sports & wildlife photography the 7D is far better.

[adamziaja]

@MacEliot 5DmII is old but full frame camera, good for studio because of it. For example 7D or 50D are cameras to sport and wildlife because of fast shutter speed, and fast AF compared to 5D/5DmII

[kdziarmaga]

Greetings from Poland, nice work Gavin.

[prunex]

what camera do you recomand for a begginer :D (like me) ???

do you have a vid where do you exaplain the features of a camera? i like making photos:)

[gamesnaper]

Thanks the reply Gavin, Grtz Belgium.

[gamesnaper]

Nice vid, what program use for the panorama shoots?

[Guikri]

@gamesnaper photoshop image merge ?!

[PhotoGavin]

@gamesnaper It was indeed Photomerge as found in Photoshop :-)



[08CJ11]

@PhotoGavin

Please could you explain how to do a meter reading... I dont fully understand how you are doing this?

Are you in 'AV' and going into 'M' ... please explain ^^

[puma0065]

Great video, keep em comming Gavin

[Langtoftphotography]

And you did not get stopped under sec;43, lol.

[lopzag]

Hey, I have a Canon EOS 600d, does anyone know if and how I can do the bracketed exposures in burst mode?

[Frankz455]

@lopzag yep, open camera and hit the Q button at the right of the screen, it'll allow you to select a mode that you want to change, move over the exposure comp./AEB setting, then press and hold AV then roll your finger dial up 3 times if u want 1 stop of exposure , then set your Drive mode to contiuous shooting, it will shoot 3 images one properly exposed, one one stop down and one one stop overexposed , there you go !

[DavidLTG]

@lopzag buy nikon! hahaha

[lopzag]

@DavidLTG both excellent manufacturers, Canon is just my preference :)

[DavidLTG]

@lopzag i know kidding :) good luck with pics!

[pixelcomet]

@lopzag RTFM :)

[dannggken]

What did you use to stitch your panorama together Gavin? Please and thank you (:

[PhotoGavin]

@dannggken I always use Photomerge in Photoshop. Quick and very effective :-)

[stewartdmoorephotos]

every time you have a youtube post i learn something new.....thankyou for your wonderful videos....its placed a little smile on my face today.

[MnexRaven]

I really like your videos, keep em comming!
