These are great tips! I shoot cars for a living, and really appreciate the permission to increase iso on interiors! Also, I’ve wanted to incorporate flash into more of my shots, but often have to move fast on these shoots so don’t have time to make exterior composites for single shots. So appreciate how you utilize flash for some of the wider interior captures!

Thanks! I'm like you, I'm don't regularly use flash for exteriors, but with interiors it's quick to knock it out, and there are usually no surprises. Cheers!

Man your videos are definitely really well done and informative with the right amount of balance for beginners and professionals who might be coming in from a different disciple. For me coming from Fashion and portrait photography were off camera flash is king this definitely helped me realise lighting an interior uses the same principles youd use for lighting garments

Fantastic video, relearned some thing's i'd forgotten!

A few more tips: 1. Keep it clean: Check for bits and pieces, like coins, pens etc. before shooting. 2. Seats: Check driver and passenger seats are in equal position, especially adjustable headrests. 3. Infotainment/Navigation: In map view try to max zoom out to satellite view of Earth. Or alternative a drive mode settings page. 4. Air con system: Set same temperature for left/right seat.

Got the 70-200 as well so i can get the compressed shots, and maybe thought the 15-35 mm was a good for interiors and group shots of multiply cars at a time. 💪

This is helpful. Just frustrated with sun glare through the windows. It's really difficult, even with a filter and parking in the shade for interior shots. This definitely gave me some pointers though.

@capturingthemachine

4 ай бұрын

I know what you mean, it can be really hard to fight that glare unless it's really late in the day, when there's less sunlight and everything is less bright. It can help to find a larger area of shade (so that as much of the scene outside of the car is also in shade), and to underexpose a little and hope you can recover in post. Hope this helps!

Have you experimented with high-speed sync to darken background light, such as sunsets, but light up details? You would probably need to use a softbox so you don't get super hard light.

@capturingthemachine

16 күн бұрын

I've tried, but stylistically it doesn't quite work for me, though it might work for someone else. It would be nice to use high speed sync and faster shutter speed when the background outside the car is too bright (for example), but then there's not enough ambient light in the interior, and I don't like the look when the interior is lit *only* by the strobe. Softbox could help here, but as you know, you run into physical limitations with lighting and car interiors - the openings for where the light can enter the car are limited, and its hard for the light to reach everything evenly.

thanks for the kind words! I don't know much about the other Godox flashes, but do some research and maybe you can get a less powerful flash for less money. This is the Canon version, just as an example: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341877-REG/godox_tt350c_ttl_mirrorless_camera_flash.html and this trigger: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369139-REG/godox_xproc_wireless_flash_transmitter_for.html I haven't used this, so just make sure these are compatible and check reviews. I much prefer the Godox wireless radio system over the built-in I-TTL system in the camera.

Im in between two lenses for my Sony A7 iv, either the 24-70mm f2.8 or the 16-35mm f2.8. I saw you used 24mm for the interior and I know things will be distorted if you go too ultra wide. If I get the 16-35 I would probably get a 85mm f1.8 but that would be later. If you had to choose one either the 24-70mm f2.8 or the 16-35mm f2.8 which would be best? Thanks!!

@capturingthemachine

4 ай бұрын

If you're looking for a lens just for your interior shots, the 16-35 might be better, even though it's less versatile. To get wide interior shots I'm usually at 24mm, and having the option to go just a bit wider would be nice. (in the past I've used a 20mm 1.8 and had no problems). For the 85 1.8... you should rent it first before buying. A classic, great lens for portraits, lifestyle, lots of things, but (for me) ...not cars.

If you can't block outside images, the sun or any of the other items you mentioned about the contrast THEN HOW CAN YOU fix that. I don't have a camera we use tablets so I'm not sure how to fix contrast issues

@capturingthemachine

that's tough, if you're using a tablet and don't have shade and have to shoot during the day, I'm not sure what can be done. Is there a low contrast mode in the camera? Can you construct something to provide shade? 😆
