This is very good man, only thing to be careful about in the future is your exposure. some of the shots are overexposed. When you're shooting in very sunny conditions and have to shoot against the sun, you will need to set your ISO to something like 100 and use a reflector to light the subject so you can avoid a silhouette effect.

Eastside of that Motor
Good job, but dude above basically summed it up. The natural light was your worst enemy. I rarely shoot vids, but when I do I always check weather report, sunrise/set trends, etc. Sometimes you may have to wait until 3PM, 5PM, 7PM or whatever time has the sun away from you with still enough natural light to get your shot. It's hard trying to shoot a vid in a 2-3 hour window but some times you just gotta be patient.

Just my two cents, in no way a professional and please view my criticism as love family :manny:

setting the ISO 2 a 100 should help with the shadows?

Choosing a lower ISO value will help with your exposure in bright conditions, the only thing that will help with shadows is being mindful of your position in relation to the sun, whenever possible, let the sun light your subject, shooting towards the sun will force you to select settings that will over expose the shot, this is especially problematic if you're shooting with the camera set on Auto.

Yeah, I used to shoot full time a while back, a lot of what you'll learn will come to you after a lot of trial and error but don't forget to check out tips from pros on Youtube, they'll save you a lot of time.
