Hi from Australia! Just wondering is it possible to achieve the hard shadow edge using Elinchrom box 500? I keep only getting soft edge shadows. I'm using one head as the main source with the box still on the head but no diffuser, and the other light as a fill to lighten the shadow. I'm just starting out, so any help would be appreciated. I'm also shooting food :)
@botvidsson

For a long time ago I bought a center column for my video work so I could level the camera in an easy way. It's this one www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272855-REG/Manfrotto_556B_556B_Leveling_Center_Column.html Hope that answered your Q. :)

It is a bit confusing, it's hard to tell from the angle of the vlog camera. The diffusion paper isn't direct blocking the line of sight between the light and the products, it is slightly off to the side so that it matches the angle of the camera? Or it is directly in between the light and product? Thank you so much in advanced. Again, I'm learning so much from you, and am seriously indebted to you!
@botvidsson
@botvidsson 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot! Sorry about the camera in this video, not so good. The bare flash is a bit to the left side of the camera, up high in the ceiling. That bare flash hits the products. The diffusion is just outside the frame top, you can say that it's in the same angle as the camera angle, in that way the whole scene will pick up the reflection from the lit up diffusion. Don't know if this make sense? 😁

I have done this type of lighting before ... the light that is passing thru the diffusion material softens the quality of light that that falls on that portion of the scene that it passes thru ... the hard light is going past the edge of diffusion material and is striking that portion of the product as "undiffused" light ... which gives the hard shadows and harsh contrast for that portion of the subject. The angle of the camera sees the single light source as two different types of light. Think of it like if you were wearing a pair of sunglasses and one lens was missing and your eyes were the camera. You would actually see two different types of light from a single source.

Final images so nice. And yes. The world has been taken over by hard light. I lost out on a bid for a Neutrogena job and I think part of it was I didn't have as many hard shadow images as the woman who ended up being awarded the project--but also she is good at cosmetics, etc. Yesterday I was shooting at an advertising agency's studio and for the first time they asked for a bit softer light...but then came back and said can I add a hard light. My sensibility responds more to soft light (I've been shooting for 23 years) but the photo market doesn't care 🤪

Was it the video I had the coffee glass on the camera body? 🤣🤣🤣 Living on the edge you know... It's just a Canon 😉 Travelite, I think they have Bowens mount for modifiers so you will not have any problem to find some good stuff.

Yes but I'm not sure how much power a speed light has, then you might have to adjust the aperture and ISO to get the brightness you like.

I'm still a little confused as to how much exactly the diffusion is covering the products to allow the hard light to pass through. Wish I could see another angle :(
@botvidsson
@botvidsson 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, sorry about that. Bad angle. The diffusion is not really covering the products at all, it's placed at the same angle (But mirrored) as the camera angle so the diffusion reflects into the products... It's hard to explain in writing... Guess I need to do a new tutorial 😃

@@botvidsson If I understand correctly.... the camera is seeing the "soft" light that is being bounced back into the scene from the light reflecting underneath the diffusion? In other words, the soft light is NOT coming from light passing THROUGH the diffusion, but from the light that is reflecting of the shiny surface, onto the under side of the diffusion, and then back onto the scene?

I have done this type of lighting before ... the light that is passing thru the diffusion material softens that portion of the light on that part of the scene that it passes thru ... the hard light is going past the diffusion material and striking those areas of the product as "undiffused" light ... which gives the hard shadows and harsh contrast for that portion of the subject. The angle of the camera sees the single light source as two different types of light. Think of it like if you were wearing a pair of sunglasses and one lens was missing and your eyes were the camera. You would actually see two different types of light from a single source.

Is the diffusion covering the products entirely?
@botvidsson
@botvidsson Жыл бұрын
No, the bare flash will hit the whole scene and will create the hard shadow edges. The light will also hit the diffusion and that will reflect on to the glossy parts in the scene. The diffusion is placed a bit in front of the scene.

Hello Martin, thaks for your useful help. I've learned a lot from your videos. This video is amazing too. Let me help you a little in return with this gel issue. I am not an ambassador or something of a brand, and i dont get money for sharing this, but there are gels what you looking for. They call Cool/Warm Colours Filter Kit (30x30 cm), FOMEI. If you did not purchased yet another one, this will help, and one more time thank you. Hope one day I become a cofesupporter :)
