 Hey, everybody, it's Craig with B here and in this video we're going to be working with natural light So here we are in harsh sunlight I'm going to step out and take a shot of Brittany and then you'll see the harsh shadows and then we're going to have Josh Jump in with a reflector So that's just one way to deal with this type of lighting situation and also to it's probably about three hours before sunset It's best to avoid shooting at high noon if you can so this is still kind of a challenging Shoot because it's very bright. There's no clouds, but anyway, I'll step out. We'll take a shot And then I'll have that pop up so you can see the shadows So keep an eye on the shadows that it's actually almost like butterfly lighting right now. Actually, it's not too bad I'm just going to take shoulders up and I'm shooting at f1 8 and Okay, I'm just gonna take a few shots and my shutter speed is 3200. So I'm just gonna back up But actually this isn't really that bad of a lighting situation because it is three hours before sunset So I'll just take a few shots here Great now. I'm just moving my focus point around and I'm focusing on the closest eye to me Great There's actually a better lighting situation than I thought it would be but it is a bit on the hard side So what we're going to do is we'll have Josh is going to come in so Josh has got the Westcott 5-in-1 reflector and When you take off the covering, it's really just a diffuser. So what he's going to do He's going to diffuse the light and let me just take it before and after so I'll take a head shot and Then like I said the lighting is pretty good because it's lower in the sky It's almost like butterfly lighting, but you'll see the light soften up So maybe start at about two feet when you do bring it in and then bring it in like one foot and then closer without hitting Er and then but you'll see it gets off here. Anyway, okay, so I'll just take a shot All right, perfect. Okay, so I'm still at one eight. All right now Josh come in with that and Okay, perfect. Yeah, and you're a couple feet away So I just don't want the just sort of even it so turn it a bit Josh So and then raise it up because I want to make sure that the lighting on her is even okay, perfect So I have to adjust my shutter speed You ready? Okay. Let's try it again Okay, perfect. Okay, just bring it down. Yeah, okay. Okay. Hold the still gosh. Okay one two three Okay, perfect. One two three bring down a bit Josh. So even okay one two three Great one more bring that down again Josh. Okay, wait. Okay one two three. Okay, great Now if you can bring it in closer, can you bring it in closer and sort of on an angle? Get it really diffused now Okay, just sort of even it out a bit. Maybe lift it up just a bit more though Okay, hold on All right. Okay bring it so it's more even on her. Okay, perfect Great hold it there one two three one two three perfect All right So I'll have those pop up and you can see a comparison of just the sunlight without the diffuser
