  • @markharris5771
    @markharris5771 7 лет назад

    I did the original snoot to illuminate a bottle label. I also used 2 layers of tracing paper, one one overlapping the tape by about 5mm and one about 3mm to feather the light slightly. It worked better with the 5mm closest to the light as I got a slightly weird line the other way round. I also tried cutting out a circle of cardboard with a square hole in it that didn’t work right at all, there’ll be some scientific reason I don’t understand for this. Great video as always, thank you and now I know why my barn doors didn’t work.

    I like all the Gavin Hoey videos, they have been very helpful. One question I have is when he is shooting are the Studio lights really turned on while using the flash? I always thought to turn off the studio lights and let the flash do all the work.

    Top marks to Gavin as tbi s is a very helpful video and always fun to watch. As Gavin makes the shoot just very easy to do.
    I am sure a pair of speedlites will be able to perform well in this type of shoot.
    Again many thanks to Gavin.
