Yannick's Thread

[Yannick Hagman]

Got 6x6 inch LEDs. 220cd only lit on one side of the cube in 3500k for inscene lighting. They cost 51$ each over at luminousfilm.com. Some first test images. You will see how it looks in one of my photographs rather sooner than later. Stay tuned.

Unfortunately the shipping was 100$. I hope you are americano.

[fde101]

Hmm, finally a DURABLE thread title...

[NoahK]

Neat LEDs. And I feel good to have written in Yannick's Thread. It sounds like a sweet children's book.

I hope so, I hope. :)

[KKeller]

What is the lumen output on these panels?

[Yannick Hagman]

No idea.

[MattN]

that's a spendy little light, but it looks very nice.

[Yannick Hagman]

It's only for inscene stuff. There is a 5400k with double the output and different sizes as well.

[Yannick Hagman]

Behind the scenes stuff

Behind the scenes stuff

Two dedos, a readhead some unused cans from the cealing and one on the floor?

[Granty]

Lots of creative LED projects online, I like this on, just put it in a cheap diffuser, and bingo:

I had my three dedos and the birdcage on stage. Even used the LEDs for a shot. All I got. These lights are just practicals from the theatre. Unusable. The room was still big though.

BTW: Isn't "Stephen" more common in England? :)

[Peter Majtan]

Yannick - I might have a really nice surprise for You (end everyone else) really soon... And yes - it has "something" to do with lighting... :D

[Yannick Hagman]

Don't do that Peter. I haven't any money for it. :)

Thank's a lot to my 49 supporters on facebook so far.

Im interested.... very very interested.... RED LIGHTS... just kidding!


Id rather not fuel that rumor again peter...

[Tim Hole]

Nice alternative to Stik Lights. Similar to the Light Panels but cheaper. Like it!!

Peter you've got so many sleeves---how many arms have you got...or more to the point fingers...so many pies.

[Peter Majtan]

Three letters:

LED

:devil:

[Yannick Hagman]

Nice. Let me know.

Apart from that, I just have a great idea, on about my small worlds (photographs) can be improved. Feeling excited.

Tell me what you think and what I could improve.

[Roberto Merlini]

Great stuff... yannick what camera set up are you using.

Not sure if you've talked about it yet

RM

[Yannick Hagman]

Thank you Roberto

It's the Canon EOS 10D. Mostly with either my 24mm, 2.8 or 20-35mm. I will replace it as soon as I can, because everything I made is resolutionwise "wasted".

Rescue.

There is a behind the scene image on my blog. Although I used finally the shot without the LEDs. The hole looked better on the used picture. As I had to photograph deep enough I had to shot it out of hand with 1/60s. Was a bit bad for my back in this narrow hallway. Unfortunately I had to go for the doll or hole that way. I took the one with the hole.

[Peter Majtan]

Nice work Yannick... :thumbsup:

[Yannick Hagman]

Need a gorillapod or something. :)

[Yannick Hagman]

I'm taking a week off. It's too time consuming here. :)

[Yannick Hagman]

Just bought a second-hand Nikon SB-28 flashhead for $110.

http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf4/flash/mapSB28.jpg

And think about getting a pair of those:

EOS 10D, 24mm, 2.8, just one dedolight (with daylight conversion this time)

[Roberto Merlini]

Nicely done, i notice you do pay attention to background as much as foreground.
Your pictures do tell more than one story.

The 28mm has a great DOF is that a Canon lens? Maybe silly question is this with a tripod?

[Yannick Hagman]

Hi Roberto

I got my 24mm, 2.8 used on fleabay. It's a canon lens (medium line) and non USM. Sorry I made a typo above.

It's shot handheld as I took it in my grandparents house and couldn't take much with me: 1/60, 2.8 f-stop, 200 ISO.

[Tim Hole]

Yannick my friend, apart from really liking the shots I like style and subjects...I think we go to the same dark place!

[Roberto Merlini]

Thanks Yannick

The info is always a great help, as we move into the future its amazing how
the lines between still and moving photography blur. Its possibly always been
that way but now even more so.

once again thanks for the info

RM

[Yannick Hagman]

Mate Tim! Hehe, and I thought I finally did make a dull, positive portrait! We certainly will end up in hell! :)

Roberto,
for me the lines between still photography and directing are much closer than between Photography and DPing. It's all about stories and ideas. I will stay 35mm because of recent developments. Maybe I can experiment around with some moving pictures now. Otherwise I probably would have took the medium format plug. But the damn lenses are also very, very expensive in medium format.

Got my trigger. Definitely higher science compared with dedolights. Now I have to get my braincells together. f-stop of flash, f-stopf of camera, shutter of camera, ambient light, iso, oh my.. but the trigger works really smooth.

Just transfered one of my images to b/w. Maybe I will do something in b/w if I got time. I have seen the phenomenal film the man who wasn't there recently and I really digged the lighting.

[Yannick Hagman]

Okay. Done with that. I'm glad to have finished the project.

Add Yannick's blog to your delicious-links (http://delicious.com/save?jump=yes&url=http://blog.yannickhagman.com/&title=Yannick%20Hagman%20Photography)

[Yannick Hagman]

nope.

[David Gray]

Greenscreen foil? Surely thats going to reflect green everywhere.

I really like the petrol station btw yannick. Is that blur done in post? or some kind of filter/special lens.

[Yannick Hagman]

You think it's worse than fabric? I cancel it then..

Yes, it's all photoshop I can't afford tilt-shift lenses, nothing is real these days. Sad, now we spend too much time in front of LCDs.

[David Gray]

I've never seen it I was just guessing. You got a link?

[Yannick Hagman]

http://www.foba.ch/deutsch/tisch/ttplast.shtml

Doesn't help very much. It's not glosy but plastic.

[David Gray]

Hmm hard to say. But it says studio technology so guess it's tried and tested. :D If you got a sheet of fabric you can put it to more use than just the table though.

[Yannick Hagman]

I cancelled it. The color is also a bit too bright. I have some kind of fabric, but it's too big. :)

Is your crater in the clip done in 3D?

It looks that I can play around with a D90 soon btw (I adviced the art museum here to get one for their studio), which means I will have some access to it.

[fde101]

That's the great thing about these tools we call scissors...

Even if I'm not sure how to spell that offhand...

[Yannick Hagman]

It's part of a background supportsystem. :)

[David Gray]

Is your crater in the clip done in 3D?


Yep 3D studio max. Based upon the wonderful work of Andrew Kramer though I have to add.

[Yannick Hagman]

Do you enjoy 3D? ;)

[David Gray]

Haha, never really tried to be honest. I'm currently doing a basic maya course. I prefer the 2D/2.5D side of VFX though. Definitely rather be comping 3D into a scene than creating it.

[Yannick Hagman]

:) Yeah, I guess 3D is a full-time-dedication thing. Mostly it looks very unreal though.

Oh my god! What's that look on your face, Libertine Yannick?! lol :bath:

You know what your B&W and Color comparisons made me realize?
B&W asks for much greater contrast ratio than color photography to stand out.

Just a noob observation since I never messed with B&W photography.

It's not me. ;) It's Bloody Freddy, a band.

Yes, that's true. My staged color images are quiet contrasty as well.

snapshot. don't like it. post it anyway.

[Peter Majtan]

The trees are gorgeous, I would use a circ. polarizer to bring up the blue in the sky and control the light reflection on the snow, but this can be fixed in Photoshop. Great composition...

I don't understand why You don't like the doors, the simplicity and colors of this image are just mesmerizing. Great architectural taste. I would definitely stop and play a little with this location...

Keep it up Yannick!

:D Peter

[Yannick Hagman]

I saturated the blue down a bit. I'm not a fan of oversaturation during day. It looks too real and not so much like a painting. A polarizer would bring more texture to the snow?

[Granty]

I like the doors, I reckon if you straightened it up in post, maybe a little fill on the outside ground it would just be a great addition and framing a little more up.

Then even go back and stage a person looking out the window just to the side of those doors, on the far left or right of the frame then I reckon you'd have a very good selling stock photo for that bad hotel, 'lost in translation' feel.

Nice shot

[Yannick Hagman]

This was more some sort of test with my skyport trigger. There is some fill outside. The save to web still makes my images still darker as seen in photoshop, although I use a xrite eye-one now, which probably was a bit of a waste of money on an iMac screen.

Framing is allright, golden cut. But I would definitely go back there with some probs if I had a geni to stage something in front of the windows.

[Yannick Hagman]

Just adapted an urban legend I began yesterday. 6 Pages. Tomorrow I will finalize it a bit. Good exercise to get back into writting.

[Yannick Hagman]

There I wanted to go medium format and there it is gone..

"EPT (160T) and EPJ (320T) are both gone. They've been out of production for some months now."

The highest reversal film is rated at 64 ISO, Kodachrome 64T. Absolutely useless for my stuff. I guess I have no other choice than EOS 5D MII now. Fuck.

[David Gray]

You may wana give these guys a ring:
http://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/Catalogue/Kodak_Super_8_Film.html

[Yannick Hagman]

Medium format 120 , not super 8 :)

[David Gray]

Ah sorry when you said kodachrome 64T I just jumped to film. Thought you were talking about your new film project you were working on the script for. :)

[Yannick Hagman]

No problem.

Oh I have to write at least other 50 pages with different ideas untill I got my 5 pages.

[David Rasberry]

Fuji is still making a broad selection of reversal stocks in 120 format.

http://www.pictureline.com/cat/201/Fujifilm_Medium_Format_Color_Transparency_Film/?mid=14

[Yannick Hagman]

This is not thungsten film, Dave. I know that they still do high ISO negative and daylight balanced reversal film, but every lab would brighten up my images if shot on negative film. I could shot on daylight but had to use a filter in front of the lens which costs me f-stops.

[Yannick Hagman]

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3613/3331625124_8efc537e91_o.jpg

...by the way, this is shot on a D90. Save for web still messes up the colors a bit.

[Jared Caldwell]

Are those stuffed, Yannick? Love it! :}

[Yannick Hagman]

This one answers your question

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3616/3332049076_dd4c749589_o.jpg

if not, have a look at my blog. :)

[David Gray]

Is this professional work yannick? Or just an spec ad? Either way I like it.

[Yannick Hagman]

Oh I wish. Spec. :) Some gave me the advice to make less arty stuff as well.

[Granty]

Nice lighting Yannick, I'd also like to see a cool moonlight effect on that kinda setup - but great little setup.

But that poor squirrel looks like he's been hit in the nuts.

And if anyone ever needs a stuffed beaver... :)

[Yannick Hagman]

Hehe, tried it with my sb28 flash and a blue gel, but caused too much spill on the squirell so I took the red gel image and cut out the red in post a bit.

Interesting side note: There are only 60 people in this country who have this job of stuffing out dead animals. I rented those from the museum of nature.

It is a dying art, I had a sculptor friend at University that was a self taught taxidermist, the only man I've ever know to get excited over a dead mammal.
