Incredible, even though I don't have that expensive equipment like that huge softbox, I think it could be done with smaller ones. I think it would be a good topic to do some tutorials with cheaper equipment, because many photographers do not have the financial resources to have so many and so expensive elements, especially here in Latin America, again a pleasure to see your videos

You are right, in most cases it is not the equipment that makes the picture it is the knowledge of how light works. I have done a few videos in the past with very modest equipment (flash light and a plastic bag!) and intend to do more. Thanks for watching.

If you have a flash (studio or speedlight) I think you should be able to just hang a white bed sheet between the flash and the flower. It might take more work to get things right this way, but it should be possible.

My go to for orchid photography is to use pocket wizard hypersync at around 1/1000 (not hss) with regular speed lights into a gridded soft box. It front lights the flowers and drops the background to pure black even in a room with ambient light and cluttered backgrounds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but dark field photography is the technique where the light is polarised as it leaves the flash, and again as it enters the lens, using two polarising filters at 90 degrees to each other, so no direct light passes through to the sensor, then only light which is depolarised by the subject can pass through to the sensor. In any case, I enjoyed seeing your technique and have never thought of using an aperture card for this. Thanks.

I've been getting great results getting a black background handheld just using f/8 and an in camera flash, even better with a speed flash, if the shots are not quit black enough RAW I adjust for it using black point while editing the images for a completely blacked out background. / No fuss, no muss, no setting up,....... no kidding,..... try it !

Great video! I have a few questions in regards to making an Aperture mask somewhat like yours but for a different subject. So, you keep the same ratio as the sensor, but what size is the Aperture frame? Is it whatever size you need to frame a subject, but, not any bigger than the Backlight I would be using? I have subscribed, and I like your teaching style!

@CameraClubLive

10 ай бұрын

Yes that's right the one I use is 57x38 cm with a 18x12 cm aperture.

You probably could create an HDR version with both lightings, what would give you very fine control over ilumination.

Love your videos! If you don't mind; What is the procedure of eliminating all the house lights from exposure called? And why is the camera only picking up the latter introduced light sources and not just "randomly" picking up some light from both house lights as well as the later introduced soft boxes, flashes, etc, once there is a "surplus" of light compared to the initial "no light" camera exposure ? Seems like magic to me, i hope it's just physics? :)

@CameraClubLive

6 ай бұрын

The procedure for eliminating, all the house lights from the exposure is called being careful. By using settings that under expose the ambient light it is possible to eliminate that light completely. The light from the studio flash is so much more intense. It will expose the subject correctly. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Would the lens hood worked in eliminating the flash flair the same way as the pice of cardboard with a hole in it?
