Shooting With Full Sun At Midday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2025
- Peter's favourite time of day to shoot fashion is when the sun is super high, and we have both been wanting to do a shoot styled this way for a very long time. While we were up in Port Douglas we went out to the Tablelands at around 2pm in the afternoon, and you will see how quick and easy it is to get awesome fashion shots with full sun.

Every photographer needs a Bec. Peter and Bec is my favorite duo
Thank you
Without bec the photographers will be hit by a car :D
Every Bec needs a Peter too ;-)
@@quarkroadie
these 2 are a binary star, they need each other and work very well together
Sir, Peter.... you have alot of great models, but.... Beck is fantastic on many levels, she's the best.
I love the camaraderie and sense of adventure you guys have on these on-location shoots. Memorable photos are a byproduct of time well spent, I think. More of these please. :)
Thanks so much, more to come
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographerAwesome looking forward to it. You know, still one of my all-time faves was your photoshoot at Boronia Mall carpark and vicinity. Super fun watching you use the available spaces and lighting. Renegade photoshoots are so fun.
Thanks heaps
For me, the killer shot in this shoot is the semi over Becs' left shoulder in the background. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Bec has to have the most amazing portfolio. Always so stunning. Thank you, Peter, and Bec.
Our pleasure!
But she’s not a model If I recall, she has the best Not A Model Portfolio…
As a truck driver, I love that picture with the truck in the background. As a photographer, the shoot looked really fun. I’m actually doing a midday shoot this weekend myself
Glad you enjoyed it
Love when Peter says “with attitude” and Bec gives it. That first shot with the semi in the distance was cool. This was a pretty cool shoot. I chuckled that as soon as you got ‘too jungly’ Bec tapped out!!!😂😂. Thanks, folks.🙏❤️
Thanks heaps
And all without a cookie as reward !
Laughing and loving this episode 😂🤣👏🏼
Thanks
Amazing shots in an amazing locale --- Queensland --- and I love the symmetry and composition of the shot of the highway with the point of horizon ....master photographer and super model in collab - bravo!
Thanks heaps
the grain of the tri-x harkens back to a simpler time ... love it
Thank you
WOW after all that danger and work...I can not believe you ended this video wit the Koolest shot.....that I liked in the middle...you GUYS ROCK!
Thanks heaps
Hard to say, from all of the models Peters work, who is the most beautiful. But Bec definitely has something singular, very special. My favorite. This setup with hat-bikini Bec in the middle of a desert road is amazing. Great work!
Thank you
Great achievement, and all done during rush hour, you guys are thrill seekers
And the drivers are probably all drunk cause they drive on the wrong side of the road.
Thanks for sharing
So much fun watching you both working on an outback road in Queensland!!! Not a car or truck in sight other than one or two half a kilometre away!!! in UK it would be cars and trucks every SECOND. and in pouring rain or sleet of fog!!!!! Lovin what you do!!
Glad you enjoyed it
The shot with the semi is a banger. Very close second place to the shots with the thumbs hooked in the bottoms.
This was most fabulous. I LOVE how Bec runs shuffles to get out of the road! She didn't yell out "CAR!" the way we did as kids when we played in the street though :-)
I don't think she ever played road sports
Amazing shots guys.
Thanks a ton!
Cowboy hat, bikini, boots and BEC !!!! What gets better than that ?
Same setup minus the bikini?! 😁
The bikini is great .... Maybe a couple of smoking guns. Maybe a cigar.@@martin09091989
Never thought the high noon drifter thing could come out so nice. 👍🏼
Thank you
This be good for advertising a festival or a calendar. Great work as always.
Definitely! Thank you
Gorgeous set of photos the digital are crisp and flawless, the film especially the latter ones, wow, just so full of authentic character. Quality episode as always. cheers
Thanks so much 😊
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer welcome and thanks for making these vids model photography isn’t something I’ve do a lot of I’m usually chasing gangsters cops and cats up trees but I’ve been asked to do a shoot with a local girl whose photographer couldn’t make the appointment so I’m doing a quick crash course with your content 😂😂📷
Being in Tucson AZ. Full sun is a great look. I love to shoot with a specific mood. The high contrast is incredible
Yes love high sun
Stunning Bec.....Beautifully shot Peter.💯
Thank you
Fantastic as usual Pete and Bec .. great idea/location for a shoot. Love the Tri-x as well !
Thank you
I could be in the middle of nowhere and as soon as I try to get a shot in the middle of the road a car will come by. Love a long stretch of road with the lines leading to infinity. I've learned that it's best to be exactly in the center of the road for the best shots. You guys are enjoying summer. But, I'm hoping for snow in the mountains so I can photograph it.
Hope you get the snow for your shot :)
There is no bad light with Bec!!!
This video is the one video that have made me realise I have to start exploring the world of portrait photography
Enjoy
Excellent work Peter, Bec and it’s good to see that you’re doing it with Film 🎞 as well. Cheers! 🥃
Many thanks!
I like this with the track on the back, anyway, enjoy great weather 🙂
Thanks! 😃
I LOVED this video. Outside shots. Natural light. Incredible results. Thanks I Really Needed to see that 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great shoot. Gives me ideas for the summer
Awesome thanks heaps
Bec. Dundee… you look amazing! 😎Awesome video guys thanks sharing🍻🍻🍻✌️
Thanks heaps
Really nice work, Peter!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love full sun shooting. I like slightly off to the side or slightly behind. Tends to add a mood that you can only get during full sun. You can do a lot with pavement, or anything light reflecting back into the subject or if you have a lower contrast lens it can pick up more in the shadows than you typically could on a more modern lens with high contrast coatings
Love the way the background came out. High key but not to high key. Should have gotten Bec a pair Colt .45 Peacemakers and holsters. 😉
Next time!
Great double act as always!
Thanks
Nice shots 💜
Thanks!
Bec is completely right in not treating the incoming traffic lightly. "Ages away" are just seconds for a car.
You had me opening with a Crocodile Dundee hat, a crocheted bra and Tarzan shorts. Too bad I'm on my way out. But I will surely come back later and perhaps even learn something about photography:)
Wow i was hoping you were an a American in America ❤ but cheers mate❤ and didn’t expect the shooting to come from a camera 😂
I have not a clue what is this video about yet 🤔 , I will need to watch it another 10 times 😁
Awesome video like always. Bec is fab as a model and I like that Peter is using full sun andvexplains why it is not bad. More often than not photogs are very "determined" that no shooting shall take place in full sun. It seems more like a dogma thing. Looking forward to other great content. 😊
Thanks heaps love full sun
Nice. The sun is so high there you that have such short shades! Very difficult light to work with!
Thanks it's my favorite light
Hey Bec - That would make a great doof outfit!
Yes she's worn it to a festival
So no Jungle for Bec. Tri-X 400 love it. My Fav film. I use to roll my own from the 100ft spool, manually by hand in a darkroom bag.
No she's done with the jungle :)
Oooh this one is a vibe, dig it!
Thanks heaps
Cool... Thats really cool...
Thanks
Looks like outside Mareeba. I’d known you were there I would have driven up and said hi. Lovely work, as always.
Yes you are right
Interesting concept. It worked well.
Glad you think so!
Love these settings! It probably hasn’t been a single vehicle on that stretch of road in three weeks and you try to get some shots and zap! traffic jam!
Yes I know right
That’s awesome. Sun shots are so tough for amateur like me. Ha ha
You can do it!
SHALOM...Beautiful, you are a True artist Sir...I'm a long time subscriber just amazing Thank you for Sharing Happy New Year for both of you...Agreed a Stunning Subject as always 😊👍
Happy new year, thanks so much
Thanks guys! Enjoy Summer, I'm in Winter.
Have fun! Thanks
Nice vibe to this video. love seeing the fully manual film cameras getting used. Have you thought to hire a semi for a Bec with semi calendar shoot...?
I don't think Bec would want's to be a tucky calendar Girl
05:20 BG looks like a poster or a painting in the side view. Nice to see you shooting analog too. The iso 400 is a Touch grainy in my opinion for this lighting Situation. Nice shots.
Thank you
I would have thought that Peter would be the most prudent, but I loved Bec's prudence with cars.
I'm missing the photo of Bec auto stop with her finger on the road :)
good job love it
I'm glad you like it
YES. BUT I don't understand what the dot is? And I'm more into candid photography. But great ideas for shoots if I ever do or get model,s 10 out of 10 to both of you. Hope you do more like this out doors.
Thank you
Such a great Video! I cant wait for Summer to shoot outside midday with harsh sunlight. Would have been cool if we got a shot of the back of your camera to see how dark its in reality.
Thanks it was about the same as the video exposure
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
8:20 that truck is still ages away, beck can you hold on for a couple more splashing shots :)
That would have been even greater photo with that truck closer for sure
you guys are awesome
Thank you
Very cool
Thanks heaps Alex
Thank you for the shoot. It was interesting to see how the posture changed when a car was on that section of road vs. not.
I would like to make a polite unsolicited suggestion for Rebecca. Bec, would you consider looking into procuring a pair of knee pads for Mr. Coulson. I want to look forward to many more years of his work before you step in to take his place. I will suggest that it could be a challenge to find knee accessories that are both comfortable and not unfashionable. Peter may resist the idea. And not without just cause. If you are anxious to take Mr. Coulson’s place behind the lens then all you have to do is let photography continue as is. When his knees have gone things would likely change drastically. I like to think that you have the heart and tenacity to attempt the introduction of this simple piece of safety equipment. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Thank you both to your expansive contributions to the creative community.
My knees are fine, my back is the problem 😁
That Tri-X is grainy. Did you process it for that effect or is that what Tri-X does? I used to shoot T-max 400 processed in either D-76 or T-Max developer and it was way less grainy.
Yes Tri-x is grainy
Cheers mate - love your work!@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer
I'm interested in how Peter wraps his brain around it. On really sunny days, clouds or not, I just shoot as fast in shutter speed that I can get away with.
I’m inspired to try this thank you. And always stunning Results. Question what kind of film are you using if you find yourself shooting in color converting the black-and-white or do you shoot straight black and white in the camera settings
Thanks so much. If I shoot in colour film and change to black and white later I'm shooting in Portra 160 & 400
Fun !
Great photos! Was the hat used to keep the harsh light off Bec's face, or was it just part of the look?
Thank you. Hat was just part of the look, the sun was high enough behind her that it would have worked without the hat too
First, big fan of you guys, love what you two have produced over the years. But, I know Leica's are great and all for film, legendary even, but I would of rather seen you pull out the rb or 503.
Thanks I didn't have it with me
Ok i will bite: what is "the sunny 16 rule"? At 4:13. When I use my M3 I always have a lightmeter in my pocket.
ruclips.net/video/td5_e9d831U/видео.html
Love a middle of the day sun ... with such a gorgeous woman half dressed ❤ but my photo's wouldn't be as great though 😢
The ground there is quite light in color, it’s bouncing the sunlight, if the road was black tarmac, would you change something ? (Use a way to bounce the sunlight or something ?)
We shoot on black tar in the second half of the video
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer i was thinking darker than that, almost like your t-shirt on the video, i don’t know if you have those in australia though.
The more light you put on something the more gray it goes
Wow beautiful
So nice
Excelent!
Thank you
do you use flash to compensate harsh shadows?
No I love natural light
infrared is awesome in Full Sun..
🤩🤩🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bec is so gorgeous
Why use Tri X on a bright ? Wouldn’t it be better to use Plus X or something slower?
It's just what I had in my camera
Peter. What focal length did you use on the digital images for this shoot. Thanks
50mm
Cheers mate. We just ordered the cowboy boots and hat and will try a similar shoot here in Phuket 😊
I was shooting in full sun on Saturday (digital and film).... Luckily the model's mother volunteered to help with the diffuser and reflector (I don't own lights - yet). I'm guessing you must have been fairly closed down using tri X in this light? I was between 100 and 400 iso films and I was at F/8 with Tmax400
I think I was f8 @ 1/500
how can the roads be so clean over there? it looks like so many miles between villages, yet no dust, plants or other stuff on the lane
we have crews that try and maintain our roads around Australia
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer apologies for i had myself mislead, thinking every place that is more than few miles away from the next town, gasstation or farm is automaticly wilderness. here in middle europe there are barely any such places.
Cool !
Thank you
And why are you not uploading this video in 4K?!
I'm already going through 4TB of harddrives and memory per month without filming and editing in 4K and it slows down everything.
I wish you did this in AZ. Could add some cool firearms to the shoot. Bec is a true gem. Another great video. Thanks guys.
Thanks
8:27 Good work.
Nice! What film camera and film were you using. Pushed/pulled? Box speed?
M3 shot at box speed
5:00 - "Now get comfortable.." *frumps down* "...for ATTITUDE" lmao
Why do I also have to kneel when I take photos with a 50mm?
The female body looks better by getting lower lower
“Cool. That’s really cool”. Lol
Cool thanks
Wish some wildlife was quizically looking on!
Er hat eine Muse als Model gefunden❤
Bec is the hottest cowgirl ever! Very cool shots, even with the trucks. I can relate to shooting on an open road with cars passing by.
Many thanks for this new behind-the-scenes video in the desert roads. I would name it as: guiding lines.
@B: I laughed when you ran away from the road to avoid the cars; poor P, he couldn't concentrate on taking the photographs, one day you are going to consume his patience.
@P: I still have the idea that, in the outdoor photographs, the light of the Sun should directly hit the front of the Model. I think this wrong idea comes from sunrise and sunset light that I, unconsciously, think it should be applied to all Sun light scenarios.
@P: But this video is not about lighting, but about lines. Lines, straight and curved, guide our eyes in the same precise way railroad tracks guide the wheels of the trains. I think one of the difficulties shooting full body in landscape is that the Model could be absorbed or eclipsed by the background… unless the background itself guide our eyes to the Model. At the beginning of the video, I was preparing a question related to why you took the photographs in that precise high (bending legs) but then is suppressed it because I saw you applied the guiding-lines rule (in case there is such a rule). These guiding lines are not defined by the video camera that you have on top of the photo camera, but by the photo camera itself bellow. Please review all the BW photographs you have included in the video, and you will see that all of them follow the same principles: road lines that intersect the vertical body of the Model; lines that are defined by the margin of the way or by the white painted lines in the road. I think lines, in photography, can be our worst enemy or your best ally. If we can ally with those lines, there are higher chances to succeed. Geometry and photography are two sibling disciplines that talk about shapes.
@P: BTW, why didn’t you make any video with B roaming the roads and photographs doing hitchhike? You had the perfect model and the best scenarios.
Is there a third person there?
No iPhones on 360 gimbals
might need to redefine "middle of nowhere" if it now includes "cars always going" there. Key indicator it's not the middle of nowhere is the road :) - Great shots mate.
6:56 amazing shot and 8:28.
Thank you
The art director in me wanted you to push down the road a few metres so the cross tyre marks were out of shot, or gently sweep them away.
I like them, but that's the great thing about art is my pictures all look like my pictures and your pictures all look like your pictures
