Don't miss the next LIVE online photography workshop:
bit.ly/karl-tay...
I absolutly love this video...not because of final photo (it is still awesome ), but because we can see that photography is not just about taking lights and puling trigger. There is sooo much of work behind the scene a not everything is always working as it supose to ( wires and trigger, glass broken....). It is great to se "behind" the scene".
My god one of the best videos I have seen for some time. If you're workshops are as entertaining and informative as this video. Thay are something else. Thanks for uploading.
Our workshops are definitely entertaining, especially on the group night out!
Where do you hold the group nights out?
A bar and a restaurant for dinner
This is more realistic instruction right here. The set up, the test shots, the failed shots including breaking of around 400 glasses (j/k!), and the various firing methods.
Thank you!
Cracking Instruction and advice on how to change the flash to round light. Great to see all the fun bits too.
Karl- one of your BEST video clips…..All the things that go wrong that usually happen to me! I love your persistence! - sound and laser triggers look very interesting…. Thanks for a ‘warts & all’ clip…!
I really like the new dynamic of your videos. Makes the content even more enjoyable to watch.
"see? seee how easy that was?" the exact same thing i would say. awesome man
Carl you freaking rock! I learn so much from you! thanks
Thanks
Karl - I’ll drop this time, and breaks the glass 😀.
Excellent tutorial. I learned a lot. 👍👍👏👏👌👌
UUUNDERSTANDING photography. Love it!
Awesome video Karl, have to say that I really liked this one , because we get to see what were you thinking on the process of how to build the photo, normally you got your videos already settled with the light, then you explain why you have it like that, but i think i learn more by just watching what was wrong and how to correct it on the go, with simple DYI.
Hi Luis, all of our paid training courses on my website take you step by step from the thought process, one light at a time, explaining why through to completion. You should check them out!
I love the fact that you buy Miops triggers by the case. I have one, and it suddenly feels insufficient. Thanks for all your great tutorials, Karl! Pro shooter since the 80s, and I still learn from you every time!
Thank you.
This is great , Would make great wall art for the home just like your kiwi fruit tutorial, So basic and simple, Thanks Karl.
I've only watched 3 of your videos and I'm blown away from the information I've gained. Thank you so much for sharing! Outside the DIY store now. Lol
Dude...that trigger looks AWESOME!!
Simply superb demonstration to prove a much necessary valid point! If you don’t understand the fundamentals of photography and light...it’s all waste of time. KTE totally rocks! Nothing like it. Regards to you and the whole team!
Thank you.
Thanks Karl!
How many photographers does it take to trigger a flash ? ? ?
FUN as always. :) I can't wait to go there again.
thanks for making my knowledge of photography upgraded
Best blog yet. Loved it.
Really love the stuff you're doing now, very very good stuff.
One speed-light & only nine glasses :)
Karl I love this series of video diary shoots. As always, very inspirational, fantastic. keep up the excellent work and Happy New year to you and your team
Thank you and to you too!
this triggers are great.... thank you for this..
You're welcome
@@VisualEducationStudio I have a wine bottle shoot tomorrow .. was familiar with shooting glass & mirrors but your tut's gave me clarity for what equipment I would need to bring to a location.... Wish I had a studio again... : ). Thank you again.
Splendid upload Karl. Thanks for sharing.
You're a genius, Karl! Thanks, mate! 😊
Cool demo. Thanks for showing the failures by accident. Many people don’t realize in photography you don’t often pull out the camera snap one photo and get perfection. Because life is what happens regardless of your plan..
Aww man karl this is one of my favourite videos reminds me of when im shooting n trying to figure out whats wrong n then realise somebody needs batteries lmao i love it
If I remember from previous How To videos, when dropping a colorful object such as fruit one would aim a grided or snooted flash from the front, ideally at a flash speed matched to the rear light.
Lots of fun, with some solid lighting technique. Almost too much fun to be work!! :) :)
love this... will try it soon...thanks Karl!!
Those Pics Were Awesome :) :)
You Nailed It 👌👌
I ℒℴѵℯ this tutorial..my 1st reason is the way that u explain to your audience so awesome and very details..i always see stunning images but not with the explanation (some point make me so boring to watch, but yours its different). Im newbie and ᵗʰᵃᶰᵏᵧₒᵤ for ur video
Thank you so much 😀
That was really cool. Would it work with a normal umbrella or would the light be too widespread? Really loving these vlogs Karl, thanks for taking the time to make them.
Hi Karl Taylor,
1) is there any difference between a light that is 600 or 800 or 1200 or 3600 in product photography. As i see that you have used Broncolor Picolite or unilite or pulso with attachments.
2) How do you get the perfect exposure with so many lights.
Here's me thinking that I could do a shot like this on my own. I didn't realise I needed a team. haha! Awesome video. Thanks.
It's just done as a by the way look how you can do this on a whim and still Karl's explaining style just makes it blow so many other videos out of the water. (no pun intended)
Awesome toturial !Learned a lot!!!
Hello from Israel!!!
Thank you
Acrylic ice cubes are made for acrylic glasses and neither breaks so easily.
Hello Karl Thanks for uploading this amazing video. I just want to say i really admire you and your passion for photography, please could you link me the links to your equipment you sell. many thanks and all the best for the new year i hope to be on one of your courses soon.
kind regards Daniel.
Hi Daniel just head over to our training website and go to the gear page. Cheers
Amazing work mates...
expect me to be onboard after the holidays, cheers...
Fantastic! Thank you Karl! Also funny!
Very interesting episode! Funny and educating :)
The The great music choice Karl
Love this man!! Hahaha so fun to watch you
"Don't tell your clients that!" LOL
In reality, I think Karl's clients are so professional that they couldn't care less how much times it takes him to get the shot.
Could you not put your flash in high sped sync and pump your shutter speed up to also freeze the frame? Great video thanks!
I thought that a specialized item like that trigger would be a lot more expensive that it is...
Great work!
So this is black polished metal or the silver one?
Great, one light how many glasses?
4,5, very funny Carl. Thanks for the video.
Great video, and entertaining too..
Having watched your videos on you tube I am convinced enough to sign up as soon as I have enough time. Can you look at the links.......I was sold on the idea of a Miops trigger
Hey Karl, love the vids you post, always enjoy watching them. I have a question for you; if someone told you they can't seem to find their direction in what field of photography they want to work on/in, what advice would you give?
Can we get these tutorials on dvd? these are awesome
Hey Karl what is the underground for dis very cool picture. What did you use??
Can I use also a normal black table??
As a graphic design/photography student I can not for the life of me wrap my head around how you are able to capture this image. You have a room full of light and the photo is really only lit by the flash behind it. How are you able to negate the ambient light? Only thing I can think of is that with out the flash being used the photograph would be incredibly under exposed. So a fast shutter speed (obviously) in combination of a narrow appeture (higher fstop) partnered with an ISO of 400 ish maybe. Am I on the right track?
You're exactly on the right track except the ISO was probably even lower to reduce the ambient exposure even more. With a small aperture and fast shutter sync speed there would barley be any ambient exposure. This is another reason many professionals shoot with medium format because we can sync flash at any shutter speed up to 1/2000th so on a fashion shoot outdoors for example I can create very underexposed ambient scenes where my model pops out from the shot with the flash www.karltaylor.com
@@VisualEducationStudio thank you for the reply and explanation. You are truly awesome. I look forward to binge watching all of your videos. Thank you again.
One of your better videos, this is the kind of video that makes me interested in buying your tutorials... Except I'm skint ha.
Did you use any delay on miops?
Nice tutorial sir
Karl, if you used that last glass first, you wouldn't have broken any glasses :)
That's true, but I'm glad we didn't or this video wouldn't be as entertaining :)
Just start at the finish.
Thanks Karl its nice tutorial, what speed do you use for this splash shot ? Thank you ( my english listening not quite good) Thanks Karl
Hi karl, you can indicate the delay set on the Miops Trigger
Yes you can, it all depends on how far you put the trigger from the noise and also the camera and flash setup you are using. It just requires testing.
How did you go about affording new gear to improve your photography when starting out?
can you use those triggers whilst shooting tethered?.
amazing video also
yes
@@VisualEducationStudio thanks for the reply but do the triggers sit on the hot shoe then cable sync the strobes?
Hey Karl, can I use the Miops trigger to trigger the X1D? If so, definitely want one! Thanks, Neil
Great video!
Nice workflow
Love your videos , What camera settings did you use ?
love that trigger shame right now i cant afford it :(. likes this wee video hope to see more like this.
Low power = Fast flash duration.
Thanks for remembering
Hi, is that ice real? If not, what is it?
Thank You
Please can you tell me what the reflective surface is that you mentioned you bought from a DIY store ?
What type of mirror suface is that and where can i get it to buy here in the UK
acetate mirror sheet
Where is the roll of diffusion material from? Is it just tracing paper? My girlfriend is going to be impressed when I attempt to recreate all this
Hi David, here you go www.karltaylorphotography.com/lighting-diffusion-rolls.htm
Excellent might pick me up a Landscape Polariser aswell
Good man, thanks for supporting us.
Don't you see it? Logo on the box and writing on the roll? Lee Filters
great vid where can i purchase the black reflective metal or glass you used
When you say you bought the sheet of metal of acrylic at a diy shop, could you say more specifically which one? I’m in the uk - and I tried Homebase and b&q - neither has a anything useful
I purchased from B&Q
Man, you are a modern Caravaggio!
The flash and the camera are triggered by a sound trigger? Did I get it right? Thanks
It can trigger either, in this case I was getting it to trigger the camera which in turn was triggering the flash
Karl Taylor I have just bought a lightning trigger. I have a studio light that does HSS. But not with my Fujifilm camera. I think using a lightning trigger to fire the camera from the flash is my best bet.
So I attempted to do this exact same project. But ran into some trouble. I'm using the MIOPS mobile dongle that hooks up to my phone. There is too much of a delay using the app and phone sensor. Is this dedicated MIOPS trigger better than the mobile dongle and app?
Hi Paul, I've not used the dongle app only the dedicated trigger so I'm afraid I couldn't tell you about something I haven't used.
@@VisualEducationStudio I understand, do you believe at least that the reaction time on the phone versus the dedicated trigger are probably different? I'm hoping the dedicated trigger is faster
you are a beast
What was your Focus Point on glass?
On the centre of the glass I think.
Oops you answered it!
One speed light and 10 glass setup :-)
Great video Karl. I have been trying to get from your team which grade the Lee filter diffusion material it is that you sell. I am guessing 216, is that right?
Hi Andrew, Lee Filters make about 30 different types of diffusion material. I've tested most of them and there are 3 types that I like best, the one I use most regularly you can purchase here www.karltaylorphotography.com/lighting-diffusion-rolls.htm People like to take my advice but and as we are the ones that have done all the testing and also sell it as competitively as anyone else then I think it is only fair that people can help support us and order it through our store, thank you.
Hi Karl, fully agree and would like to buy it through you but wanted to check which grade it is. Many thanks.
@@VisualEducationStudio I saw you buying from your local camera store....
@@oneeyedphotographer Really? Where was that?
@@VisualEducationStudio Fitzgeralds.
Oh, I mean in rhe video, not in person.
I also got a 404 (page not found) trying to find the Miops trigger on your website.
clicked on your links that the end of the video and they weren't good links:(
ah they should be working, they should re direct to karltayloreducation.com now because we have updated our site and model to subscription base
hi sir, hope you're doing well. i tried this at home today, i want you to see that. Please let me know where to send?
you said your flash was set at 1/16th power, but I was wondering if you could let us know the f/stop and shutter speed of the camera please..
It was f11, I think I said in the video that it was at 1/160th. But remember shutter speed isn't really relevant to flash it's only there to keep the existing light (ambient light) from interfering with your flash light. So you should set the shutter speed to the maximum allowable (sync speed). The freezing the motion of the splash was down to the flash duration not the shutter speed.
thank you so much.. always looking to improve
Hi Karl. I am about to drop some cash on my first lighting set and I am deciding between a very fast flash duration (1/588 sec. (at full power) | 1/13,500 sec. (at 1/256 power) or one with High speed sync. My question is this. If my goal is to absolutely freeze water splash droplets will a high speed sync that allows 1/4000 shutter speed or even 1/8000 shutter speed do this or do I need to go with the monolight flash duration. My problem with the monolight flash duration is I can only achieve the fast duration at low powers. I feel I wont have flexibility in my aperture settings. Any thoughts? Would appreciate your input.
thanks!!!!
where can we find that large artificial ice cube though?
Amazon. Very cheap.
whats the shutter speed for those shot?
Hi Darrel, the shutter speed is mostly irrelevant it is the flash that is freezing the shot. The shutter speed just has to be sufficient enough speed to eliminate daylight/ambient.
Tus trabajos son increíbles, y tus vídeos también. Por qué imitar a Casey? No pareces tú Karl 😕
Tal vez estoy equivocado.
Tu trabajo = increíble
Saludos desde Uruguay!!
Bravo
whats the Le filter Number you are using please.. 250?? thanks from switzerland :)

thanks Karl, i wil check it out. As i was a light technician (opere and another big theater in zurich) i know most of the Lee and Rosco gel Filter. but i might order the long rol from you as i only know the 120cm large ones...
GREAT
The broken glass video
Sorry that’s a hawk not 🦅 eagle, their much bigger than a hawk.
Hi Karl, what is exactly the diffuser’s name used for your shot?
This is the one we use and sell www.karltayloreducation.com/product/lighting-diffusion-rolls/ but and diff would do the trick, even tracing paper for this.
Karl Taylor Yeap, I know but I want exact the same which give you always nice glow gradient cause some of them (parchment paper, or savage paper background paper adding some texture and its not good at all. What about translum diffusion material? What do you think?
One light, 23 glasses...
Ha Ha I like it.
Consult floor material ? THX
