Can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much 🎉

Just stumbled across this. In Canada we have a retailer that sometimes has special buys. 3 years ago I spotted some used but nice HD metal cases that looked to be good for photo gear so I started poking through them. One was much heaver so I opened it and here was a Powerlite 810, with all accessories and the manual, and even a book that recorded when and for how long it was used. Since it was priced the same as the other cases $35 Cdn, I took it to the till, paid for it and rushed home to try it. Works fine, connects to my laptop fine, so I just use that and project photos I've taken or downloaded. Also created a bunch of 'Gobo' .png images to project patterns onto subject, walls, etc., again just using the laptop or sometimes via a thumb drive. We even had a movie night where I projected a Netflix movie onto a building wall. It was like being at an old drive in theatre. Fun toy! Since Adobe and others introduced Ai 'Generative Fill' almost any 'background' I wish I had ...can be conjured up using that but for gobos, this is still great.

I use my old slides projector with my own slides and it’s help my creativity, thanks for sharing

Happy new year Mike, I am so happy to see you again

Thank you Mike. Your explanations were so easy to follow. I was at the point of giving up this sort of projected image until I found your tutorial, it was very easy to follow, I can't wait to try it. Perhaps some of those other "would be" presenters would benefit from learning to communicate using your style. No hype, clear diction and easy to follow and well described set-up. I sincerely thank you. Can I ask a question, if I may. Will this work just as well for scenery? Barry Champion. Tasmania.

Nice!!!! Just picked up one of these a few weeks ago. Can't wait to see your approach.

Awesome man! Please report back when you've had a chance to try out using a projector. It's fun, with endless artistic possibilities. :)

@@MikeMcGeePhotography Will do. Oh! And I don't know how often you'll be using your projector for shoots, but what I did was ordered an extra manfrotto base plate and Krazy Glued it to the bottom of the projector. Now I can position it at various angles not to mention it makes it a lot easier to place if you will. Just a lil "DIY Hack" that I saw another photographer using that has been extremely helpful to my creative process.

​@@AndersonRay Good idea! I do a lot woodworking, so I have a bunch of these Irwin QuickGrip clamps that are made for clamping/locking wood pieces when gluing overnight, and I think I'll just use four of these (one one each corner) if I need to fully have the projector sideways/vertical during a shoot, but I like your idea as well. Thanks for sharing!

wow really helpful video..question tho, what happens if we want to take a full body portrait, how far should we move the lighting n projector back? thanks

This is really cool. Subbed!

Thanks for your comment, Ryan! Give it go and hopefully report back. I think the trick is to have the strobe on very low power angled away from the background, along with a wide aperture. (Shoot f/1.8 instead of f/11, etc.) Hope it works. I've done this a few times now and it's a blast to shoot.

Lol😂never really had a job lol. Like your stuff bro

Great video. Just to be sure, the orange and blue light, were the flashes or continuous light. Since this is not my language, and also a I'm oretty new im photography, i think i might got lost in translation.

Thanks for this! Just got a projector & I’m implementing what I learned here. What camera did you use by the way?

Thanks Mike. Maybe it helps to say, that it NEEDS to be a 3 chip LCD projector. It will NOT work with a 1 chip version (which most ones for home use are). Because the latter produces rainbow artefacts. Tried it, frustrating...

Good info, Peter. I honestly didn't test out multiple projectors because I just took a gamble with this used one from eBay and it worked like a charm. But thanks for sharing this info, it's very helpful.

Great video but I’m having issues myself…the pic I use as the background looks different after I snap the shot…it’s not the same colour. It almost comes out a blue or purple. Is that a white balance issue? Any thoughts?

@MikeMcGeePhotography

Жыл бұрын

That definitely has to be a white balance issue. I would simply set the white balance on the camera to Flash and then be sure to shoot RAW so you can easily make any white balance adjustments in post. Hope this helps!

Did you use any flash at all ?

mike hi can i use HSS for this one or will HSS theoretically cancel the projector?

@MikeMcGeePhotography

Hey there, yeah, for this, you want a shutter speed of approximately 1/160 sec as per the demo shots. If you exceed the sync speed and shoot at 1/1000 of a sec for example, that will not let enough of the light of the projector into the shot. So sadly, this isn't ideally suited for HSS. It's about getting the balance just right of the store + projector light. Hope this info assists you, and thanks for watching!
