1
00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:11,910
when I'm out here shooting and I find
what ever it is that i'm gonna
2
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:15,580
photograph I'll take a lot of time
outdoors circle at all go around and
3
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:20,089
look at it through my lens and trying to
find that perfect composition I don't
4
00:00:20,089 --> 00:00:25,519
put my camera on my tripod just yet
because if I do but I end up with you
5
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:30,119
know these unwieldy leg that I'm trying
to move around within and I think you
6
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:33,710
kind of get stuck in a rut when you do
that so I like to go around with my
7
00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:37,510
camera then when I found the composition
pretty close to what I want you know
8
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:41,740
I'll get in there and a look at it and
I'll take my head away found silly but
9
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:46,580
all actually like leave my camera you
know where it is fully headway and i'm
10
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:50,200
looking at where my camera is that gives
me the information I need to figure out
11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,110
where my tripod needs to be right so
then I got my tripod legs pulled out
12
00:00:55,110 --> 00:01:00,900
like this and that means I can already
put my camera on the tripod and put the
13
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,560
head down and I'm halfway there
14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,579
ok but I got my shot partially set up
not ready yet but I'm getting there we
15
00:01:10,579 --> 00:01:13,679
get down low for a shot like this you
always a little harder than working with
16
00:01:13,679 --> 00:01:17,939
no rocks in these these deep cracks and
you know don't fall into a break
17
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:21,759
yourself when things I do they actually
stick is under my knees which is silly
18
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:30,219
but totally works so yeah something like
that at this point I'm gonna be looking
19
00:01:30,219 --> 00:01:33,679
through either my viewfinder sometimes
only use the Live View Avenue
20
00:01:33,679 --> 00:01:39,609
viewfinders little more effective for me
and I'm just my camera sometimes with
21
00:01:39,609 --> 00:01:44,109
the ball had actually sometimes
adjusting it with the tripod I might
22
00:01:44,109 --> 00:01:48,639
even move move a leg you know just a
little bit at a time to get my my focus
23
00:01:48,639 --> 00:01:56,310
just right i'm looking through the lands
making the adjustments as I work when I
24
00:01:56,310 --> 00:02:02,729
find that composition that I really like
sometimes i'm too close to right now for
25
00:02:02,729 --> 00:02:06,780
example I actually can't focus lenses to
close I'm like
26
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:12,250
couple of millimeters off from where I'm
capable of focusing so in a case like
27
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:17,709
this I'm just use this great little
tripod that I have to bring it up tiny
28
00:02:17,709 --> 00:02:23,420
bit closer to what I want to do what I
can also adjust my other leg to give me
29
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:31,130
leeway in other directions so in this
case something more like that should
30
00:02:31,130 --> 00:02:38,270
give me all the leeway I need and with a
little luck I'll be able to get the
31
00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:42,630
composition I want
32
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:47,780
so sharp focus is critically important
here you can see even as I work I'm just
33
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:51,190
moving my camera little bit this we're
moving a little bit that way and I'm
34
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:56,930
using my tripod as much as I am i ball
head when you're working with a tiny
35
00:02:56,930 --> 00:03:04,140
tiny area I'm talking literally an area
that you know two centimeters are left
36
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:08,790
to get this photo that that little ship
to the tribe called can be easier than
37
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:14,440
than the ship the camera once I have my
tripod where I wanted my camera
38
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,700
positioned exactly in the right position
and I lock it in place now right now
39
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:25,000
about the shadow of my camera pretty
close to where many shooting and that's
40
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,240
usually not a very good idea so I was
really careful when I was looking
41
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,910
through the lens to make sure that it
didn't quite go into it but I'm also
42
00:03:32,910 --> 00:03:41,510
gonna use a diffuser to help with the
lighting so just a little bit year take
43
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:50,930
out that filter that diffuser always do
that and this is where having a diffuser
44
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:56,610
is really good I'm shooting I'm
photographing salt little crystals of
45
00:03:56,610 --> 00:04:01,360
salt and the Sun is reflecting off them
and getting that really bright light on
46
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,980
them so by going and I hold it in the
Sun the ground I can soften the light I
47
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:13,540
can have an idea of what I'm gonna get
for my final image I like what it looks
48
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:21,330
like through the lens like my focus this
is where I turn on the live you on the
49
00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:26,410
back of my camera turned it on and at
this point I'm I need to get my focus
50
00:04:26,410 --> 00:04:30,530
just right so having the bright light
shining on it can actually be helpful
51
00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:35,460
for getting your focus right Mizzou min
really close
52
00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:41,700
Justin here a little bit find that
comfortable position
53
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:48,090
and blocking the light from the Sun with
my head so they can get a view of the of
54
00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:52,650
the viewfinder in the back now there's a
little + button on the back my camera
55
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:54,860
can zoom in on my viewfinder
56
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:59,450
getting really close sometimes all use
auto focus on a case like this I
57
00:04:59,450 --> 00:05:05,320
actually prefer manual focus because
it's more accurate for me because my
58
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:12,410
vision is pretty good once I have that
set I make sure that my settings exactly
59
00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:16,840
where I want to go in and with that
diffuser and places of course that
60
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:22,940
alleges that that'll make a difference
to how I choose my settings I start to
61
00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:28,960
align things in terms of aperture and
shutter speed in a fall into this crack
62
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,380
hold on to get out of it
63
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:38,040
ok I'm just got a profit this right up
against my tripod sometimes if it's
64
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,420
windy that won't work but today it's
gonna work and adjusting my shutter
65
00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:47,630
speed you can see how important it is to
have a tripod here with this kind of
66
00:05:47,630 --> 00:05:51,880
work it's not going to happen if i dont
have the type of this is impossible at
67
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,980
some point could you just don't fall in
you know hey so I'm making those tiny
68
00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:04,680
little adjustments I've got it set at
about five point six for my aperture and
69
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,690
looks like I'm gonna need about one
one-hundredth of a second get it just
70
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:16,050
right now at this point I'm gonna turn
on mirror lockup in my camera mirror
71
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:22,150
lockup balances the camera up sorry
there lockup bounces the mirror up and
72
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:28,180
it locked up in that upright positions
us going to help free the camera the
73
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:32,590
lock the mirror bouncing up can actually
cause some the vibrations and protein
74
00:06:32,590 --> 00:06:35,380
shot like this we don't want any
vibrations
75
00:06:35,380 --> 00:06:39,030
the other thing we need is a two second
time delay of course I might crawling
