Freezing and Blurring Movement with Flash | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

- Capturing motion can be done in many ways and in this video photographer Gavin Hoey will share his secrets for two very different looks, each using flash.
Gavin starts off with the classic use of flash to freeze movement. He takes you step by step through the process from controlling the light to freezing the action. After that, he steps things up a gear and moves on the showing movement with blur. As you watch along, Gavin will cover everything you need from using a long exposure with ambient light, mixing in flash, and finally the advantage of rear or 2nd curtain sync flash.
Even with the limited space of his small home studio, you’ll be surprised at just what’s possible when you mix flash, LED lights, and motion together.

Does anyone get excited when they see a new Adorama video up and ready to view? I just love how well these are put together for us to learn from. Thank you Gavin!!
I definitely do!!!
For sure!
Gavin is my superstar in the series of Adorma videos :)
Gavin in my opinion is the Yoda of photography!
It's a new video from Gavin Hoey.....today is a good day 😊👍
Phew, for a moment there I was worried Gavin wasn't going to mention his "small home studio". As usual, an informative and entertaining video from the legendary GH.
Gavin you are a legend, all your videos are short and full of information, always a pleasure to watch them.
Gavin "Tassle" Hoey! Great tutorial. Thanks to all involved!
Excellent demo of the various elements, and great results, Gavin. And of course, fun, too. Thank you!
Keep it baby!!!! I love learning from you!!!
Your videos are wonderfully informative and fun to watch! Thank you Gavin!
I always get that WOW feeling when Gavin posts a new video.. You have been a great insperation to me and so many others, i'm sure. Great video, again. I struggle a bit with drag and pop. will have to try again. Thanks to you, Sam and Jess.
What a great video Gavin! As always I love how you show the steps and the "wrong" ways that don't give the result you want and what you do to change that. I. E. Rear curtain synch. Great work by Jess too. Love the hair and a great smile! And I have to agree about the tassles Gavin! Look great... Not so much on you though Gavin 😂.
Simple and to the point, and kept my interest all the way through. Top job,, thank you 😊
Great work and inspiration, thank you Gavin!
I like Gavin, his instruction always clear abd brief.
So much respect for Gavin. Truly a legend.
Another Great Video. Thanks Gavin, Jessica and Sam
funny and brilliant at the same time. keep these coming Gavin... the best of Adorama for sure..
Great Video Gavin... You are my favorite teacher!!!
Thank you Gavin, informative and funny as always! 👍
Another outstanding video Gavin!
Groovy baby, groovy!
Thank you for the detailed demonstration!!
Excellent use of rear curtain flash.
As always, great video!
Thank you Gavin, Jess and Sam! Always look forward to your informative videos. I must inform you that I nearly choked on my morning cup of coffee when you modeled the jacket. Thank God the tassels were on the sleeves. Cheers to you all!
I had to think for a moment about your tassel comment Booth but you're right... Sleeves are probably the best place 😲
awesome work thanks for dreaming this up and sharing !
You had me at Hoey. Thanks Gavin
Definitely a keeper!
Thank you Gavin! Nice video and very helpful! )))
Great as always my friend
Great photos. Jacket looks good on you Gavin
That subtle cut to the tassel jeacket was perfect
Super video, Gavin you are always an inspiration.
Gavin Hoey is the best!
Nice! Great tutorial. ☝️🙂 Thanks for that!
There are some good photography teachers out there, but Gavin, you are the top. Loved the way you explained the rationale for each lighting change here. You always left me thinking, "Of course! Any fool can see that!" Only if you had asked me beforehand, there would have been a long silence. And if there's one thing I've learned from your videos that applies to every shoot, it's "Experiment!"
always good information and concise videos, crème de la crème!
Excellent way of teaching
Great video, I definitely want to try this!
That was awsome thank you gavin i always wondered how to do that never taught of a backlight 🙂
Really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing
Looking dapper in the jacket Gavin, a keeper for sure mate 😁😁 Another great video, very cool effect on the images 👍😊
I always look forward to how you’re going to ask us to SUBSCRIBE! Great teaching, as always!
Great stuff! 🤠
having fun in lockdown :-) I need to convince my wife to get a studio in the garden too!
Thank you so much!
Have a shoot scheduled to do this very thing with rugby team doing dives and run and tackles etc, after whatever lockdown we are on now ... love a bit of rear curtain flash....great video Gav as always
Always entertaining
Grab work as always.
Awesome lesson ! Love the creativity in the subscribe button talk on your videos
I really love your videos. Are awesome.
Thanks Gavin and Sam, I've not commented before but have learnt so much and been so inspired by watching your videos for a number of years. Rocking that jacket by the way Gav!!!! 😂
Thanks for the kind words Russ, glad we've been helping 👍
Awesome as always
Thanks Graham 👍
that really cool I will try see if my camera got that feature! time to experiment!
Sir Great tutorial thanks.
tthanks Gavin, another great idea to pass time in the studio! but could you tell us where in the menu at the OM-D E1 I can switch to rear curtain flash?
Another fantastic tutorial and you really should keep that jacket ;).
THANKYOU
Gavin, you and your small home studio are awesome, tassels or not!
Jacket for Gavin, yay
LMAO give her her jacket back, Gavin! Great video!!!
Hmmmmm...you've really given me something to think about. Now I'm wondering just which thrift shop will have a tasseled jacket I can buy! Thanks, Gavin--as always, very educational and easy to understand!
Grazie Gavin
lolol he's already funny but that jacket added to it big time.
Great lesson. I'm ready to shoot!
Hiya Gav! Great video as always! Given me a great idea for a shoot (when it’s finally safe again here in Kent!). How would you do this mixing ambient light? Because obviously once I match exposures for my flash and ambient, if I start to slow shutter speed, my ambient will become brighter. I don’t use TTL so will it simply be a case of ND filters to stop it down?
Super 👌👌👌👍👍💐💐🏆🏆
நன்றாக இருக்கிறது👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️
Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Another great video Gavin, can this be done hand held ? Or with the slow SS does it have to be on a tripod ?
This same concept can be used while photographing wedding receptions if you use ocf to light them. You can mess around with twisting / shaking the camera.
Great job on the video. I can’t wait to experiment with that. Bad job modeling the jacket.... sorry lol.
Awesome as always Sir Gavin Hoey.. Greetings from Chowdry Photography, Bangalore, India.. I would love to watch a video tutorial on shooting Fitness, Athletic portraits especially focusing on the Physique of a body builder like ABS, Biceps,, Chest Triceps,, etc... Would greatly appreciate your help and support Sir Gavin..
whooooooooooooooooooooooow!!! very nice!!! Excuse me, could you tell me the name of the monitor you use to see the photos, or provide me with the link please
Thanks Gavin was wondering what the screen is you are tethered to
this is awesome can you do another how to actually use rear curtain sync
To use rear curtain flash, do you set your flash or your camera or both to rear curtain? You said in the video that you set your camera, but didn't mention if you changed your flash settings as well. thanks!
Great video Gavin
Thanks Kirsty... works with Speedlights too 😉
@@GavinHoey I will try that at some point
With today's image stabilizing lenses, should the IS be turned off when using flash with shutter speeds at or below the camera's synch speed?
I love this. I love how you break this up into steps. I do have a question for you. Can you think of a situation in movement where the first curtain sync would work?
Hmmm, good question Patty. I'm sure I could given enough time but if it's long exposures AND flash then usually my brain defaults to 2nd curtain sync.
How strange...I was doing this exact same thing last night with an RGB strobe light as the constant light.Took a while to dial in but lots of fun!
Keep the jacket. I dare you. 😜 Brilliant video.
👏👏👏👏 Antonino Italy
Can you pls share something about the screen which was used for tethering? Dont think its a laptop or anything... Thanks,
Is it possible to achieve a food or some small particles like spices or dry fruits falling from top and get all those freeze with sharp images. I have 6D mark ii and shutter speed is limited to 1/4000 and not beyond that. But I do have AD400 pro.
hi Gavin , can you help me with my choice , I hesitate to buy the AD400 Pro or the AD600 Pro, along a kit that includes 2 AD200 Pro , I begin in the kind of photography ,can you tell me which one will be better, I will make photo in my small home studio too ( my living room ) lol, and also this summer outside, for portait in bright light situation also in sunset, to overpower the sun( HSS) is the 4000 will be ok or just in case take the 600
thank in advance
Gavin Hoey, yet another awesome video. I have a profoto B1 light. What should be my light setting to freeze motion?
It would indeed. Keep the power LOW and you're good to go!
@@GavinHoey thanks a lot
I'm a budding wedding photographer. How could I achieve similar results as those in cocktail hour while the guests are dancing??? Would it work with on camera flash???
I think your a class above being a cowboy photographer Gavin,,, Ha
Gav answered my question before I thought to look/ask for the answer. When does the flash fire when the shutter speed is long. BRB i got to check out my camera options.
If rear curtain sync is enabled, the flash will fire at the end of the exposure time (just before the shutter closes.)
Hi! Why do you have to maintain the power of the flash at a low level to froze the image??
Is there a practical reason to synch on the first curtain?
Who wore it best? Gavin you should wear the jacket every video!
I tried using rear curtain sync and off camera flash fired optically. Even though the flash was set to Manual, it fired twice. I would have expected a pre-flash in iTTL but not Manual. Without a radio trigger or cable, must I use on camera flash instead?
sounds like an issue with your flash unit. have you tried covering up the optical sensor with a piece of tape?
Keep it, Gavin, keep it!!!
How do you focus on the subject during this process?
👍🏾🙏🏾
Gavin, save the jacket for the model{s} - trust me, its not a good look on you ;-) Super walk through as to how to build the shots. Great images and thanks to Jess, as well. Now, if only there was some smoke or sparklers ... ... maybe once lockdown over and we can photograph in bigger spaces
Long exposure and smoke... that sounds like a great idea for another video. Thanks for the idea Alan and the fashion advice 👍
Gavin looks like a rockstar in this jacket
All the looks, none of the talent 😉
@@GavinHoey who said rock stars have talent ?
@@GavinHoey But a very talented photographer and teacher !
Please wear this jacket for your next videos ! :-)
Could you show us how to do blur shots with sharpness with no flash?
i was wondering if anyone here find the setting to set eos m50 to get 2nd curtain with trigger
How do we get sharp images at f2.8 when DOF is very shallow, especially when model is moving as in this video?
Due to the ambient light and a need to blur the subject, a slow shutter speed would typically be used. And when we use a slow shutter speed, the aperture would be closed down a fair bit. So DOF should be adequate.
