Hi loving the information shared on your channel. Thank you so much, I am learning so much. I’m wondering are you able to show how you would photograph a picture that is already framed in glass. I do diamond dot pictures and have a few that are already framed with clear glass on top. There is lots of sparkle and colour behind the glass. Do you have Any wonderful insights for this type of photography? Regards

[@CameraClubLive]

I’ll have a think about it, and do a video in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@vladosofronievski3881]

[@ixeqilibrium]

Nice, great as ever! Ps. While watching this I was keep thinking someone is whistling outside the window 😂until I paused the video hahaha

[@CameraClubLive]

Thanks for watching.

That was very instructive! I had not yet seen this older video. I did notice however that the final image is not quite the same as the one you had in Photoshop just before you started cropping? As the white reflection of the diffuser was suddenly visible again, whereas you had removed that earlier by painting in over the glass from a different layer. Also, the star coming from the glass was suddenly larger and more visible. As if that final image was taken from different source images where the flashlight was in a slightly different position?

[@CameraClubLive]

They are both the same images, the only difference is the resolution. thanks for watching.

[@TimvanderLeeuw]

@@CameraClubLive OK, thanks for the explanation!

[@vahidsharifB641]

Thank you , very usefull

[@CameraClubLive]

You are welcome

[@michaelranger9104]

You instruction and practical showing is First Class in every one of your video's I have watched . I so like the way you try to get as much done in the camera and as little as necessary in photo shop........Now what may seem a very silly question why do you in this case not use multi exposures (like when on 35mm film you did not wind on the film)? is there a reason ?

[@CameraClubLive]

In effect that's exactly what I'm doing, Just with different layers in photoshop. You get more control that way.

[@marcdicolo3565]

Very nice, as always. those videos are a treat! One trick you did not explain ... From 16:12 to 16:24, while you are cropping from 3/2 to 16/9, the glass is becoming much brighter :) . Am I wrong ?

[@CameraClubLive]

I think it’s an optical illusion, thanks for watching.

[@ChantalDeVos]

Thank you ❤

[@CameraClubLive]

You're welcome 😊

[@pauldarville3843]

Thanks!

[@CameraClubLive]

No problem!

[@rossanadeiaco]

🤩!

[@banditalley9592]

Whether using thousands of pounds of Profoto gear or a simple flashgun and sweet wrappers makes no difference to the high quality of images you produce. Very important lesson for all photographers that the gear is secondary to the talent and vision of the photographer!

[@CameraClubLive]

That is exactly the point. Thanks for watching.
