The umbrella as a background is so cool! Awesome work!

[@alanroderick7153]

Liked all of it and loved the umbrella and jacket shots - magical ! Selina looked to being having great fun. Well done all !

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Alan. The jacket was all thanks to Sam who had remembered seeing it at the back of our wardrobe of random clothes!

[@janlasalle8845]

I did a full length shot in costume of a ballerina holding the umbrella by the stem{silver parabolic)fun shot! She was strong and could balance it! Thanks for your ongoing creativity! I soooo love your work.

Adorama has a good selection of nice videos, but Gavin is the best. I never miss a video by Gavin and Joe McNally

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Yan. Adorama TV is packed with creative people, so I'm flattered you hold my work somewhere near the top 😊

[@dunnymonster]

Fabulous job as always Gavin and whilst I miss your regular models its great also to see a new face. More inspirational ideas as usual, you never let us down 👍

[@jean-francoisleger]

I don't know about you guys, but sometime I feel like I'm lucky to have a friendly neighbor Gav and I drop by from time to time, just to see what he's working on. Very inspiring. And I've tried myself some of the tricks that Gaven shows, not everytime with succes, but always with great fun.

[@marcusprime357]

Thanks for the lesson Gavin Hoey. I just love that creative, can-do attitude!

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Marcus but is it being creative here or just value for money 😁

[@marcusprime357]

@@GavinHoey ...! That too 😅 That's why I'm loving my Olympus Pen Epl1 and Godox SK400II. Will upgrade to the OM SYSTEM OM1 soon.

[@MichaelLyon]

Gavin’s videos are brilliant and always giving me new ideas I want to try.

[@jimrobertson2693]

Kreativity is his Business - and he is perfect!

[@BenB225]

excellent videos and tips, as always. I'm looking forward to my next day off of work so I can try a few of these ideas! just hope i can get as good a result.

[@timd4524]

Wow. Sam was really nailing that wafting. The lift was great for a flexible object. Selena was great. Nice smile. Oh. You did great also Gavin. Fun stuff, but I don't know if it will replace your light strainer. Thank you all. Always informative and enjoyable to watch.

[@GavinHoey]

To right Tim, Sam did a brilliant job. Wafting is harder then it looks.

[@mattorrz759]

That was brilliant Gavin 🤙

[@kirstyhepworth7343]

Hey Gavin, thx for your ideas. Your one of the best on Adorama; no! one of the best on yt 😉

[@alun7006]

Great stuff, Gav - I'll be giving these a try!

[@GavinHoey]

Go for it Alun 👍

[@RalfWeyer]

Great video as always 😊👍. When the umbrella came into play as background I was immediately asking myself „when will Gavin put a gel on the light?“ 😂

[@GavinHoey]

About 30 seconds after I started 😂

[@RalfWeyer]

@@GavinHoey yes 😂👍

[@cjk1943]

❤love your videos great information

[@jeanleguique4280]

7:56 and 8:02 are my favorites. Thanks for the tutorial, always good creative ideas 👍

[@timothycorsi]

Interesting, have you tried lining the inside of the protective cap with aluminum foil?

[@GavinHoey]

Just making a note to self Timothy, I like your thinking 😉

[@JohnChubbSr]

Always fantastic creativity, Gavin!!! I'm just learning and experimenting with a 7' umbrella. My first stumbling block is the glare from eyeglasses, which is a real problem. Do you have any suggestions for stopping glare in the glasses?

[@alancongratssoonyoullhead5273]

Thanks Gavin

[@HR-wd6cw]

The other reasons you want to be careful using the protective caps is they can also limit airflow through the light if it has cooling fins (and even a fan). For a few shots this may be fine, but you'll want to ensure the flash stays relatively cool (so let it cool down a bit before doing more). You may also trigger the "overheating" alarms or cause the flash to shut down faster than if it wasn't covered (obviously).

[@fcoker73]

Outstanding job as always Gavin. I do have an umbrella like yours but mine have the white instead of the silver lining. Im going to try how it will look with my umbrella. Also I dont know if you answered this question in your previous videos, i was wondering what tablet or screen you are using to show your photos? That is awesome to have!!

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Fred. It's such a popular question I made a video my tethering set-up kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGXNmYenqJaWl6s

[@pgbrosch]

Hi! Great video! Does someone know what size the softbox has which he uses with grid as keylight with the umbrella?

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Patrick. I have some inside knowledge that might help. I have a suspicion its a Glow EZ Lock 36" www.adorama.com/glsbez36octa.html and the hexagonal grid www.adorama.com/glechps36.html

[@pgbrosch]

@@GavinHoey thank you!

[@birdsinfocus496]

I'm a fan

[@CyclopsPhotog]

Love the umbrella shots. The battery level on your trigger would stress me out.

[@Fischbroetchen1]

Danke für das Video

[@merc500sec]

Hi Gavin , what is the LCD screen you use to project your images to please ?

[@GavinHoey]

Hi David. That's my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 Laptop/ Tablet.

[@merc500sec]

@@GavinHoey thank you , it’s a great set up

[@christopherseymour7318]

Gavtastic as usual

[@stephenrutter5250]

Hi Gavin, what computer do you use to tether your camera to? Have been using iPad but unable to use a cable and Wi-Fi uses too much battery. Steve.

[@samhoey2420]

Hi Steve check out Gavin video about all things tethered here! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGXNmYenqJaWl6s

[@gosman949]

How does he have the tether tool cord attached to the iPad? Right into the usb input? Uses Lightroom?

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Jay. The secret is... That's not an iPad. Apple is not the only option 😉

[@pixmediavideokalai8705]

Gavin, how to set 2nd curtain shutter in Olympus OM1. I cannot the settings in the menu.

[@GavinHoey]

There's a button for flash settings on the OM-1. Top plate, on the left 😉

[@abphoto32]

What is the size of the studio ?

[@kennethnielsen3864]

GAVIN!!!!!!!!!!

[@GavinHoey]

Kenneth!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrCameraShy]

Its so different not seeing the "Amazing Chloe", great video regardless

[@GavinHoey]

Other models are available William 😉

[@richardkm5355]

I really appreciate your great videos. They help me improve my photography. I want to know the space dimensions of your studio L W H

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Richard. My studio is 15 feet across (the view you see) and 17 feet long. But with all the video gear set up the working space is more like 10 feet long by 15 feet wide.

[@GavinHoey]

Almost forgot. Height is 7'10" to the joists with the void above filled with random stuff for better reverb control.

[@BrianHalePhoto]

But now i need to know why a 7' umbrella isn't 7'!

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Brian. It's arc is 7' but its diameter is more like 5'10"

[@MichaelFrederickPhoto]

Someone send Gavin some batteries, his trigger is always near dead. My OCD is on edge. LOL

[@GavinHoey]

Ah yes Michael, the battery level. It's designed for single use 1.5v AA but I use rechargeable AA's which run at 1.2v, so it always reads low.
