Chase Jarvis TECH: High Speed Photography

[thedariocotti]

at first I thought I forgot to stop itunes, but then I realised that actually NIN were the background music ; ) nice work, thanks for sharing

[bboychris168]

all of that setup and cleaning just for a few pictures, pro photographers are dedicated.

[tamim4ever]

I really wish to know how did you isolate water from its background!

[miniteichman]

@tamim4ever In photoshop layer styles, there is a section called "Blend If." this allows you to toggle a solid colour in the photo.

[tamim4ever]

@miniteichman thanks, I appreciate it .. :)

[theandreialexandru]

nice

[DjStylez92]

Diggin the NiN music and vid!

[resolutesynergy]

Interesting clip, I was recently reading about something similar on thephotographyclinic (.) com

[arpachief]

Thanks!!!...

great tips

[willcitoman97]

hahahahahahhahahahaahhaha he has a hassleblad!!!??????

[apod3x]

Hey, um from the videos i've seen, I'm amazed by your work! I'm actually starting to get into the "world of photography" haha but it was all because of my dad. However i do love photography but i'm obviously starting off small with a d40 camera :( but i'm planning to upgrade to a better one later on. so yeah i like the tips you put on your videos and i hope that i become as great as you! :)

[TheBlingblingbros]

I completely forgot about blend if sliders

[rsx69]

You guys are sick!! You guys are the reason why I wanna keep improving my skills. Great work and very jealous of your abilities.

[chuda99]

Thanks for the very informative video. Really nice result!

[jgomes1992]

[Gjh92]

Wow! I can't wait to study photography at University next year... I'm really looking forward to the Photoshop editing. Great tutorial - 10/10 !

[TheStig000]

You don't need to go to school to learn that stuff. It's all out there if you look.

[gabedamien]

@TheStig000 Despite my earlier reply to l33thustia, your post I actually agree with—with a caveat. You can indeed learn photography outside of school and plenty do. Of course taking classes can help as well.

[l33thustla]

Studying photography at University doesn't give you any advantage in taking good photography... You need trainings, willing and perhaps born with it... if you aren't born to photograph, how much training or studying doesn't help anything :D

[Gjh92]

@l33thustla studyin always helps you in some way..

[l33thustla]

Okey, Perhaps a bit... ;)

[gabedamien]

@l33thustla "Training"—say, at University? There are plenty of great photography courses. "Born with it"—BS. Some people have talents for specific areas, but most anyone willing to work hard and physically capable can become at least "good" at a discipline.

"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit."—Ansel Adams

[l33thustla]

"No man" :) Ok, if it were a girl...

Of course you "might" learn some useful course at schools, maybe about aperture, shutterspeed etc.,

[gabedamien]

"OK, if it were a girl"—Hahaha! Touché.

[l33thustla]

:P good one huh? hehe

[Byocfduck]

born to photograph haha

[urbanflyguide]

really well done. Cool thing is you dont need super high end equipment since the shutter is open the whole time. I guess it must be tough to get the timing on the strobe right tho. very cool

[davidimon]

loool and there using a $30,000 hasselblad, know what you meant though

[taofledermaus]

I like to use burst mode with my camera. Seems to work without a ton of expensive hardware and a giant crew.

[gabedamien]

@taofledermaus You're confusing burst mode, which can grab a shot during continuous motion, with super-high-speed photography, which can freeze action of extremely short durations. The former is useful in finding the "right" frame among several for something like a ballet move or an unfolding explosion, whereas the latter is necessary to show the detail of a single instant during an exploding balloon or water droplet. It's a question of frame *interval* vs frame *duration*—not the same!

[gabedamien]

@taofledermaus That being said, you don't need expensive tools to do high-speed photography; building a cheap sonic flash trigger is a fun DIY project, and all you need is any camera with a bulb or long exposure mode.

[spidertrax]

2:30-2:35, what did he say? how can i do that?

[MrBeunhaas]

thats a freaking HASSELBLAD,

a 30.000 dollar camera...!

[dexterbug23]

maaaaan this is fucking awesome i love this video

[hubulaba]

wtf! what's up with the music. and they talk so quick and stressfull. relax buddys!

[Monaro406]

What, you want them to talk like retards?

[BearClare79]

This is great. Thanks for sharing. Just one question. I have pocket wizards but I am unsure how manually pressing the pocket wizard will get the exact moment. Surely the delay of you guessing the moment would miss the action. Forgive me if I have misunderstood the whole thing. I am a newbie! ahha

[darkdave25]

That was really useful, and totally devoid of ego. Nice one

[Shusssshssssh]

love the Nine inch nails track

[jonfletcher147]

Very, very clever! I wish i had that guy at the end's knowledge of photoshop!

[Dickalings]

medium format fool

[miky360]

I feel like a newb but what camera are you guys using? ive never seen that before. or is it just a protection case?

[spidertrax]

Wait, how did he isolate the water? I couldn't make out what exactly he said.

[ajlepisto]

Blend something sliders.

[eppik]

What Shutter speeds did you use for this? Is a 1/160 enough with a decent flash? (thats as low as mine will go)

[groundupphotography]

u guys really must be the sickest photography/imagery crew out there!

great work man.

[BarrackObamah]

6 thumbs up

[wildhorse333]

又看了一遍， 经典的事物总是值得人们回味！！！！

[patito53]

Wooow amazing!!!

[karciucha]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow :P

i loved it :P

it sooo great i wish i could do that..

photoshop guy was amazing :D

[aaronc608]

this video is excellent chase, for the past 2 nights running my friend and i have done this but out in a park using distance to create black and a hand held speedlite from the side for lighting. worked fantastic!!

[FDPictures]

new1?

anyway...i like it!

(didn´t you already upload it?)

[bbpowers]

Great video as always! 1 question about when you refer to shorter duration strobes any particular type of strobe? If you reduce the power on a strobe you get shorter bursts compared to full power correct?

[achaser123]

Yes, strobes fired at a lower output have shorter flash duration (aka fire "faster"). No particular strobes...I'm using Profoto 7A, but same applies across the board.

[someone08989]

@achaser123 i m using my bowens espirit 500 Monohead pair (plugged directly) and i m nt able to freeze water....does it necessarily needs a battery pack/generator to get that flash duration to freeze water?

[FinlandApollo]

@achaser123 Can you do it with small flashes, like SB900?

[mikitoo]

Excellent work guys, what software did you use to remove the black from the water?

cheers

[achaser123]

Photoshop - using blend sliders.

[plopilor]

Amazing!Simply beautiful!
