We take a camera into a place with almost no image potential to prove that everyplace has angles that you can exploit.

  • when ur shooting him with the basketball ring the sun is at his back how come he is not sihlouette?

  • @gajetjoe Because I chose to expose for him and not the sun.

  • for both wall shots and basketball shot, I guess all of them.

  • @gfcfgal Sorry but this was 7 months ago. I just don't remember. But you should be able to get close seeing the shots on the screen and me telling you what lens was used.

  • how far away were you from your subject? I've wanted the Fab 50 lens but recently got the 55-250mm IS Canon lens.

  • @gfcfgal For which shot?

  • Great video, I find it really helpfull.

  • @gfcfgal I have a feeling it was the 24-70 F2.8 L

  • You're a genius! Especially finding these backgrounds. That's my biggest problem. That b-ball court was genius with the rusty vintage looking chain

  • @ChevyTBlover the subject was 12 feet away from the wall. You can defiantly get that kind of blurring with your lens. The trick is understanding that DOF ( that out of focus blurring ) is caused by three variables that must be considered. You are only considering one of them and that is aperture value. There are 2 others. Please see the complete tutorial on the website listed in the video and on the forums there.
