Tabletop photography lighting

[@johnpollock6996]

After watching you enthusiastically for about a year, I have become convinced that in a former life you were Q, equipping 007 with a bunch of cool gadgets.

[@CameraClubLive]

I couldn't possibly comment......, thanks for watching.

[@kevin-parratt-artist]

Excellent.. thank you. 👌 I'm a 75-year-old, needing to produce a lot of tabletop images... not peppers or other other fruits, but technical stuff, artwork processes in progress, and related equipment. Subscribed, and very much liked. 🤝

[@CameraClubLive]

Glad it was helpful!

[@delta_7983]

Thank you so much. You're a real genius. 😊😊😊

[@CameraClubLive]

You're welcome!

[@emilianoa4]

Always interesting. I love this channel. And for that lesson the spirit of Edward Weston was hovering somewhere around the studio. 😁

[@CameraClubLive]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sanjeevatre566]

Another wonderful video ❤❤❤

[@NorbreckAquatics]

Brilliant, you are such a good teacher, thank you.

[@CameraClubLive]

Thank you! 😃

[@Arripa-777]

Great lesson ! Thank you ! I like to use shoot-through umbrellas ! 🫑☂

[@CameraClubLive]

A much underrated tool, glad you enjoyed it.

[@JoeCosentino]

Catching up I have been on the road for a couple months, I really love your approach to taking the photo

[@CameraClubLive]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ufotosoderberg]

Thanks for the very educational video on shot throw umbrella lighting. I have a photo studio and mostly photograph people and sometimes still life. Uses both softboxes and various umbrellas and also parabolic softboxes with focusing rod. It doesn't hurt to get a refresher in basic lighting techniques.😊😊😊😊😊

[@CameraClubLive]

Thanks for watching.

You are welcome.

Interesting as always, thanks Tony.

[@CameraClubLive]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lidisung1462]

I don't have such good equipment but I'll try to take a similar photo anyway. Thank you very much for the nice video.

[@jacephotos]

Not many of do but I think the results should be repeatable. He is such a good teacher. PRACTICE, PRACTICE & PRACTICE ❣😊

[@CameraClubLive]

This is repeatable with the most basic of equipment, that's the point really. Thanks for watching.

[@hillscp]

Thanks again!

[@CameraClubLive]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@witcheater]

Because I do not do photography so much any more these videos are great for reminding me of such. Thank you.

[@CameraClubLive]

You are so welcome!

[@christeralmqvist1820]

Dear Sir, I am most obliged to you for sharing your knowledge and doing this in Queen's English. You not wearing a baseball cap (the wrong way round) added to my viewing pleasure.

[@CameraClubLive]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@kevin-parratt-artist]

My thoughts exactly! Arms not scared with tattoo ink, and the absence of the done-to-death word "awesome", alone, make such presentations precious. 🤝

[@nelsonpino130]

Muchas gracias ya pude ver el video con traducción español

[@CameraClubLive]

Thanks for watching.

[@nelsonpino130]

Gracias a usted por enseñar

[@pauldarville3843]

Thanks!

[@CameraClubLive]

Welcome!

[@johnwest6141]

Many thanks for a very helpful video. The tip about moving the flash closer to the umbrella is something I didn’t know about. With an APS-C camera I worry about using a small aperture in case of diffraction artefacts. You used f22 so I wondered whether the diffraction issue is less of a problem than I imagined or if it is because you use a medium format camera with larger pixels.

[@CameraClubLive]

Diffraction shouldn’t be a problem with any modern lens irrespective of the size of the sensor. Thanks for watching.

[@timday8331]

Thanks for this! What was the piece you placed on top of the white card?

[@CameraClubLive]

The surface was white Perspex or acrylic. Thanks for watching.

[@TimvanderLeeuw]

Just curiousity -- cannot CaptureOne also control the flash mode & strength? Since it can control most of the camera features and is integrated pretty well with PhaseOne cameras? It would avoid any possible camera shake while changing settings, which may or may not be an issue depending on the level of magnification at which one shoots! :-)

[@berntolovhellstrom8891]

There are plugins for captureone from som manufactures of flashes/strobes. Profoto is one of them. Then you need a usb-stick to control them as you usually control them from a hot-shoe tranceiver. This is often promoted together with phase one cameras... so go ahead and open your wallet!

[@CameraClubLive]

As you can address all the camera settings remotely via the software, camera shake is generally not an issue. Thanks for watching.

[@TimvanderLeeuw]

@@CameraClubLive I was just wondering because you were adjusting aperture in C1, but were adjusting flash settings via the camera! (Which is a feature my own camera can only do for an attached speedlight, not for multiple remote flashes!)
