Thanks, Gavin. So well articulated, terrific visual demo....I use hue/saturation all the time and was happy to learn something new (using the eyedropper to let photoshop tell me the true color of what's being sampled...)! Brilliant!
Nice video... I ordered that glow pop box.. I have the smaller version and enjoy it very much, this will work out nicely. Looks like you had some fun with this one!
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Brand new here. Please advice me where I can self teach myself all the basics in this field. I was laid off from healthcare industry (administrative sector) after the pandemic hit. Thank you for taking the time in reading this
Wow the end result is amazing, never knew you could do so many tricks! :) Well done on your video! :) Greetings from Ireland ! :) I love flying my Q500 for some aerial footage! :) Thanks a million for sharing! :) Thumbs up from me! :)
+That Canon Guy They sell them on Amazon... around $11.00 each which I think is pricey.. Look up Mammoth Smoke Bombs... I use those and they are fantastic.. I get a box of 24 for around $26.00... just google them
You are fantastic Gavin. Your are helping everyone who follows your channel every now and then...and I'm gonna be one of them. thanks also for posting the link on the description of those gears. and by the way, how do you call that thing that you use to match the f-stop of your lighting source with the camera, and does Adorama sell that too? kindly send/post the link. thanks bro. keep it up.
Hi! Thanks so much for your tutorial. However, regarding postproduction, the experience I made with simply changing the hue of the whole image by selecting a color is, that usually it introduces a lot of weirdness on pixel level, with noise becoming more prominent or color banding even though it's not visible at first but will lead to problems when more processing steps are involved afterwards and is not the cleanest way of doing it. I would rather suggest to properly mask the dress AND use your method (which also has the benefit that you can then play around with the dress later with curves etc.). Regarding the use of soft brushes for hard edges: I also made the experience that masking and the blurring the mask leads to much better and consistent results (using brushes usually messes borders up as changing the brush size also changes the falloff - if you use a large brush for larger areas there will be a larger gradient, but if you have to use a smaller brush edges etc, the gradient becomes smaller due to the smaller brush diameter which will be visible when the masking or brushwork is used later on for heavier changes and also there isn't that much of a speed improvement). ^^
this was so good that it gave me inspiration to go out on a shoot of my own with smoke grenades it was so much fun and i would love it if anyone who saw this could check it out !!
yunus emre Gursoy Impossible to give a clear answer. Both have plus and minus points. Both are capable of taking great images and both are capable to taking rubbish images, it all depends on the job in hand.
the smoke grenades are from www.enolagaye.com/ Very awesome company! Particularly , gavin used EG-18 smoke grenades. I've worked with representatives of the company and personally know people in the US portion of their franchise.

Hi Gavin. I love the idea of doing a shot like this but finding private property to let a smoke grenade off might be tricky. Those grenades kick out a hell of a lot of smoke, probably more than most situations call for. I know from your other videos you have a smoke machine, have you thought about using that outside with a battery and power inverter? Just think with a machine it'd be much more controllable and probably be able to get away with using it anywhere, within reason.
And at what time did you go for this shooting? And at what time do you advise me to go there? I specify that I have a very powerful 600ws as you 600ws flash.
thank you for this great tutorial. But one question please, When i tried with white smoke, my picture comes filled with smoke. how can i keep my subject sharp in smoke ?
if they are a professional model, tell them this is your idea and what you want from them, if they are professional they wont deem you an ax murder, BUT may want to bring someone along with them (always allow this) but if they are a stranger/non model youre talking to about doing shoots, maybe do a couple casual shoots, before hand so you and they are comfortable.
in order to capture the sky detail he needs to make a darker shot... that makes the model impossible to see... thats why he needs the flash... no for the smoke.. or you can do this shot without the sky background so you don't need to do all the adjustments
+D.K Photography Look at the trees, the skin tone and at 2:14 you can see the highlights on the camera body is magenta.. Also look at 1:44 the black para is purplish too.. Some parts of the video are well balanced like at 4:36, but the rest as a magenta dominance!
Adorama new what they were doing when they picked you. You're the king of all tutorials. Well done and thankyou.

Cool video n smoke bombs but where did you get the lantern ???!?!
Yoy are the best

Gavin Hoey is a boss!
Thanks Gavin
graet video as always Mr. Hoey . a full frame canon and L series lens or an olympus which is better for the job in your opinion
yunus emre Gursoy Impossible to give a clear answer. Both have plus and minus points. Both are capable of taking great images and both are capable to taking rubbish images, it all depends on the job in hand.
the smoke grenades are from www.enolagaye.com/

is very good
great job :)
nice. well explanation :D
How did you have your camera tell you whats the perfect Aperture f-stop number to use in the beginning of the video?
Great video n tutorial Gavin!! My question is where did you get I think that's a bird cage ???
Thanks great video...did you need permission to use the smoke grenades in the woods from the council?
Fern, standing with ferns. lol!
as an amatuer, im thinking of getting the nikon d3300 what is ur perspective on that sir?? Your videos are are very educating!
And at what time did you go for this shooting? And at what time do you advise me to go there? I specify that I have a very powerful 600ws as you 600ws flash.
so olympus and canon which better for video and photo?
nice idea :)
ty
thank you for this great tutorial. But one question please, When i tried with white smoke, my picture comes filled with smoke. how can i keep my subject sharp in smoke ?
is it possible to do photo smoke photography by yourself??
Hi Gav, are you now shooting mirrorless only, or mixing it with your Canon gear? Great IQ overall, but Ferns face looked a tad soft? Great vid.
MrKravmagadude Still got my Canon gear. It's getting a bit old and very battered now, so I'm keeping an open mind about what will replace it ;)
Hi gavin :) Is the camera up to par with what you usually shoot?
bonguStyle Yep, no complaints at all :)
Fern is standing in a field of Ferns!
great video, Gavin! A question: if the color around the dress had changed with the settings of hue/saturation what would you have done? A new layer?
Zanelli Caldas Yes and then masked back the colour spill
cool
I have a doubt...pls help
Should i stay with a speelight for outside portrait or buy godox ad 360ii
So how do you suggest a shoot in the middle of the woods without sounding like a crazy ax murderer?
if they are a professional model, tell them this is your idea and what you want from them, if they are professional they wont deem you an ax murder, BUT may want to bring someone along with them (always allow this)
but if they are a stranger/non model youre talking to about doing shoots, maybe do a couple casual shoots, before hand so you and they are comfortable.
Hi Gain, which trigger system do I need for hss over 1.320 sec with Olympus em-1 ? Thank you.
Could I do this without a flash or is the flash needed for the smoke to show up?
The flash is to better separate the model from the background
in order to capture the sky detail he needs to make a darker shot... that makes the model impossible to see... thats why he needs the flash... no for the smoke.. or you can do this shot without the sky background so you don't need to do all the adjustments
Honestly, smoke looks TONS better with more open apertures. You want a dreamy feel.
nice one gavin
where can we get those smoke
Is smoke save for the wedding dress?
how does he get the moving smoke without being blurry?
some of the stuff you have linked isn't offered anymore. you have any suggestions on what to get in those spots instead
I envy you being able to be out in those woods without being swarmed by mosquitoes!
what kind of trigger u use ? and light meter
What is going on with the white balance of the video? It looks too much magenta to me.. or is it only me?
+Nicholas R.M. is it your screen?....looks fine to me.
+D.K Photography Look at the trees, the skin tone and at 2:14 you can see the highlights on the camera body is magenta.. Also look at 1:44 the black para is purplish too.. Some parts of the video are well balanced like at 4:36, but the rest as a magenta dominance!
Nicholas R.M. cheers for the reply.
I have to say, on my screen, it looks fine...however this is an old laptop, so I will take your word for it....
Wow!!! How long does one smoke bomb last?
Which Photoeditor do you use ?
What software do you use to edit pics
what brand are the smoke bombs?
nice
