how-to: take photos by yourself (+ video at the same time)👇🏻 Ps… none of this is spon. I’ve been living alone in a van for the last four years so my tripod is my best friend. So here’s my setup & what photo tips: Sunrise Self Portraits Step by Step: • get to location 30 minutes before • find your angles & try on different colors of outfits to see what works • put camera on intervelometer mode • connect remote (note: these cameras are amazing for auto focus EXCEPT when it comes to self timers- so I use a remote to focus first). Lmk if this needs more explaining. • I put my phone adapter in my camera and use my iPhone for video. • now move around, be silly, use props! Once done, I edit everything in Lightroom & Tezza app! Photo/video tips: - I like using more compressed shots so the mountains look bigger. So for my camera lens I used a 28-200 & then for video, I used 2x zoom! I’m pretty anti 1x zoom for mountains! Camera tips : - try getting one with intervelometer mode. This allows you to take continuous photos at your choosing (every 1 second for 30 seconds) - if yours doesn’t have this, you can order a remote/plug in for your camera to do it! Tripod Tips: - I recommend getting one with three legs for outdoor use. Not the collapsible ones as they blow down really easily in the wind. Setup: • tripod: @peakdesign • camera: @sonyalpha a7cii • phone mount: @smallrig.global • remote: @smallrig.global I added all my gear in my b I o! Lmk if you have questions!!!
