Gavin, you are a treasure of fun and technical knowledge. Plus you have a great speaking voice. Thanks for these videos. It really motivates me to do more creative photography. And thank you Adorama for sponsoring these!
I used to do it with a square piece of glass over the keyboard of my notebook and a white paper over it and changing the wallpaper of the notebook and the glass of water in front of it, it works very well to the effect and it's easy to change to any other image you want it to be
“Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.”
Thank you, Gavin! There are so many things involving water that are fun and interesting to shoot, and this is another method that I'll definitely explore. Take care and stay safe!
Brilliant as always Gavin, and with this and your excellent live bottle shadow session, you've given us plenty to keep ourselves occupied for a while, well, until your next video anyway :) :)
Brilliant! Cant wait to give it a go! One added thing I really like about your videos is the background music - I could listen to that again and again hehehe
I love your videos, in these days of confinement I was experimenting with crystals. You help me a lot with technique and with my English. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Loved it! I would have liked it a smidge better though if you had wiped down the water drops on the top of the glass as I found them distracting from your otherwise perfection!
Love your tutorial, you often say you have a small studio, it would be nice if you would give us a tour so we know how small exactly your studio is, it could give us ideas on creating ours. Hope you will. Thanking you in advance
Gavin your videos are really amazing, I like it so much, but let me ask some thing? There is something wrong with your website, because I've been trying to see it but every time i try I cant.
Thanks Lukas. I recommend having a go at f/22, reviewing the results and making an educated personal judgement. Avoiding an aperture because of something your read online is a real shame.
I'm sure you have heard of it, but have you heard of Glare Light and how to use it? foodportfolio.com/food-photography-lighting-glare-light/ Good post about it here. Maybe you can do a video about this reverse shots with some added glare? Pretty fun shoot though Gavin! Thanks for doing this!!!
Hi Gavin. Any chance of using a narrower lens for the camera at your new editing suite setup? Keeps reminding me of this th-cam.com/video/DGYqWULIUp0/w-d-xo.html. Love your work.
Hi Gavin Hoey. Thanks for the video. I tried this, but failed. As my printer ran out of ink, I used the pc monitor as my background. But I thing the quality of the glass matters. Here is mine flic.kr/p/2iWmSZi
Hands down the best teacher on youtube.
Even lock down can't stop Gavin from producing great tutorials 👍
Gavin, you are a treasure of fun and technical knowledge. Plus you have a great speaking voice. Thanks for these videos. It really motivates me to do more creative photography. And thank you Adorama for sponsoring these!
Gavin, you're a legend! Thanks for the video, keep up your brilliant work 🙂
That was really easy to understand. Thank you for walkthrough!
So simple but so inspiring... Mastery is finding interesting perspectives in the most common things in front of our eyes. Well done.
Gavin is the best teacher in TH-cam.
I used to do it with a square piece of glass over the keyboard of my notebook and a white paper over it and changing the wallpaper of the notebook and the glass of water in front of it, it works very well to the effect and it's easy to change to any other image you want it to be
Indeed, as Douglas Adams wrote, you always need to know where your towel is. Great video, as always !
Wise words Alan 🌌
Thank you Gavin, you’re the best teacher ever!!
Show de bola Gavin; you are the magician of the effects in photography! always I'm learning new things with you! Tks
Nice Hitchhiker's Guide reference. :)
Thanks for this great video, as always.
I couldn't help myself 😉
so many years absence . seen your tutorial now requesting to be regular . thanking you sir
“Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.”
Nice Hitchhikers reference! 👌
What a great idea. The endresult looks very crisp and beautiful. Thanks for the inspirational video...
Great video and great tutorial, very creative. Beautiful results!
Another great quarantine photo exercise from Gavin. Thank you.
Thank you, Gavin! There are so many things involving water that are fun and interesting to shoot, and this is another method that I'll definitely explore. Take care and stay safe!
the indisputable number 1
WHen I saw the thumbnail and title I was hoping this was a Gavin Hoey video. This looks like it could be fun and educational with the grandkids.
The grand kids will love this Andy and you're secretly teaching them a bit of physics at the same time
I immediately thought of my grandkids, too.
brilliant..thanks Gavin.
Gavin, I had so much fun trying this one. I used 3 of your free backgrounds (Thank You), and 1 of my own. Again...Thank You for inspiration.
Brilliant and relatively simple, thanks Gavin 👌🏾
Brilliant as always Gavin, and with this and your excellent live bottle shadow session, you've given us plenty to keep ourselves occupied for a while, well, until your next video anyway :) :)
Thanks Paul. Glad you're enjoying the #shootnomatterwhat content :)
Brilliant! Cant wait to give it a go! One added thing I really like about your videos is the background music - I could listen to that again and again hehehe
very fun & creative abstracts! always love the content on Adorama tv- thanks so much for all the variety of content between the various instructors!
Great video Gavin! Thanks for sharing. Best regards from Spain.
Thank you Gavin! Always great videos from you 👍🏻
Playing with macro during this pandemic...Ill give this a go. Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! Stay safe.
marvellous stuff - my to do list is getting longer all the time thanks gavin!
Thanks John 👍
Great Tutorial Thanks
Awesome click loved your work love from india🇮🇳
I was waiting for Gavin to introduce the models, and now we have the amazing.....Glassware!!
Everything's amazing 😁
Gavin, I’ve been following your videos for years and love playing with them! Thank you! Do you have a book of “projects”?
I love your videos, in these days of confinement I was experimenting with crystals. You help me a lot with technique and with my English. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Brilliant! Final image reminded me of the old Mel Brooks movie....."High Anxiety". Fun times! Thank you!
Awesome again
thanks for the tip Gavin,will try..
Inspired and challenged by this Tutorial. I gave it a go and the photos were amazing.... Thanks
Great project for a Covid day. Thanks for all the great content. You can even make a glass model look great. :)
Thank you Gavin. I’ll try it 😊
Great video Gavin! Love all of your tutorials 👍
Thank you 😊
Wow that was so creative, nice job Gaven!
Great video,definitely going to try this.
Nice tutorial and creativity thumbs up here!!
Awesome idea, and very creative. Looking forward to trying some things in my own "small" studio. Thanks.
Thanks, Gavin! Going to play around tonight :-)
A very interesting tutorial. Thank you !!
Great ideas, as usual!
Great video as always Gavin!
Cool !!! I bet there are some cool paper backgrounds available at arts and crafts stores, that scrapbook folks use.
Loved it! I would have liked it a smidge better though if you had wiped down the water drops on the top of the glass as I found them distracting from your otherwise perfection!
I wonder what the results would look like if you combined this idea with dropping something in the water and doing a splash photo?
Nice work. I will have to try that one :-)
Love your tutorial, you often say you have a small studio, it would be nice if you would give us a tour so we know how small exactly your studio is, it could give us ideas on creating ours. Hope you will. Thanking you in advance
Great inspiring video, thanks!
Clever idea! Interesting images.
This is great! Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it!
amazing video and like the glasses
Thanks Kirsty 👍
@@GavinHoey your welcome
Thanks Gavin, I don't know what to do first. :)
What is the name of the song?
if you print your backgrounds, I put a clear piece of glass out of a picture frame on top gives a good reflective surface...
I'm going to do this
Gavin your videos are really amazing, I like it so much, but let me ask some thing? There is something wrong with your website, because I've been trying to see it but every time i try I cant.
Nice Douglas Adams reference. You are definitely a hoopy frood.
Good
How about a haze spray video??
You must be a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan.
You ALWAYS need to know where your towel is!!!
Nice idea but do you really recommend F22 ? What about '' lens sweet spot'' for people what I don't know just google that. ''lens sweet spot chart''
Thanks Lukas. I recommend having a go at f/22, reviewing the results and making an educated personal judgement. Avoiding an aperture because of something your read online is a real shame.
Good video for those of us that are stuck inside. Are the backgrounds you used available for download, so I can print them?
Here you go Larry www.gavtrain.com/?p=6869
why you shootin olympus tho
Gavin, were it mine, I would have cleaned off the water droplets on the glass. JMPO Nice tut, thanks.
Good job it was mine then, I liked them 😁
Hello Gavin, when i click the link below to Gavin Backgrounds then "Page not found" apperas. By The way - wonderful video - as usual
Should be working now Wolfgang 👍
@@GavinHoey It did, Thanks Gavin and stay healthy
Really love the striped shots. The only niggle for me are the water droplets inside the glass. Nevertheless, a great video.
I rather liked the drops.
Gavin Hoey if you like them, theirs wrong with them then 🙂
Your link to the backgrounds isn't working.
Should be working now Frank 👍
Dude you sound like an animated character hahaha
Guy does stuff that has been done a million times before...crowd cheers how creative he is...this is contemporary photography in a nutshell.
Don't panic and always carry a towel
Absolutely 😊 You really got to know where you towel is!
A wine glass without wine in at the Hoey household??? Strange times we live in.....
Using wine for photography is illigal in the UK... Or it would be if I was in charge 🍾
if only my printer would print as i would like it to print lol
I'm sure you have heard of it, but have you heard of Glare Light and how to use it?
foodportfolio.com/food-photography-lighting-glare-light/
Good post about it here. Maybe you can do a video about this reverse shots with some added glare? Pretty fun shoot though Gavin! Thanks for doing this!!!
Hi Gavin. Any chance of using a narrower lens for the camera at your new editing suite setup? Keeps reminding me of this th-cam.com/video/DGYqWULIUp0/w-d-xo.html. Love your work.
Hi Gavin Hoey. Thanks for the video. I tried this, but failed. As my printer ran out of ink, I used the pc monitor as my background. But I thing the quality of the glass matters.
Here is mine flic.kr/p/2iWmSZi
I had a very hard time focusing...anyone else?
