Watch Photography Tutorial - COLBOR LED CL100X - Omega MoonSwatch

[@botvidsson]

I want to mention that I was not payed by Colbor to make this video. One thing I always do when companies want to send my their products is to ask for One extra so I can give one away to one of you guys. Good luck in the photo contest! 😃

[@botvidsson]

Yes, I'm back my friend!

[@botvidsson]

Glad you liked it! Contest coming up 😁

Hello, Martin! Amazing work

[@botvidsson]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dawster1949]

Brilliant work as always. You’ve explained the principles of watch photography so clearly here - inspiring stuff! The light looks great too. You’re also very lucky to actually get your hands on a Moonswatch!

[@botvidsson]

Many thanks! Yes I had a friend shipping the watch from Austria. Can't be purchased in Sweden.

[@speterlewis]

Great to see you back and upright and looking healthy and happy! While I was always a strobe kind of guy, I find myself using continuous lighting more often these days, especially for shiny pack shots and stuff. I like the WYSIWYG aspect that helps me see the shadows and control the reflections in real time. And great shots, as always!

[@botvidsson]

Thanks Peter, yes I agree 100%, WYSIWYG is the upside with LED. And the price, I can get like 10 of these compared with a Profoto D2 😁

Practical, short, and straightforward. Great job, my friend! Also, I just subscribed to your channel.

[@botvidsson]

Awesome, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

[@Q80splendor]

welcome back

[@botvidsson]

Thanks a lot!

[@denisplotnikov5633]

Martin, thank you for your videos! I don’t know what I like more - the amount of useful information or your voice ) Can you tell please if the content at KZbin Subscription and at the Patreon is the same? Or there are different videos?

[@botvidsson]

Very very kind words, thanks a lot. All the member only videos I also post over at Patreon. I recommend being a member here on KZbin cuz it's easier to watch the videos from the members only playlist. But it's the same.

[@chrissyjames7711]

nice to see you back ! I want to see you shoot a product using the new samsung 22s ultra in portrait mode , i challenge you ;) also what iso setting was you using for this shoot ? thanks

[@botvidsson]

Would love to do that. SAMSUNG!! Please send on over. I used ISO100 actually, that's why I had to set the shutter speed to 1 second. I could easily set the ISO to 400 and speed up the shutter speed to avoid blurry photos 😁

[@kojpetersson]

I assume you are using translum in the frame but how big do you do these frames and are you just using cardboard or are you using anything heavier/firmer to build them with?

[@botvidsson]

The frame is like a half KAPA board, like 35x50cm.(standard foam board size 70x100cm I think) I also have 70x100cm. Best is to use a 10mm, more sturdy. I use two 5mm boards and stick the Savage diffusion in-between. I have a member-video how I build them. I would love to find a way to build a more firm construction with 3 sides, like to have one side open with only difusion.

[@botvidsson]

I actually think the frames might be smaller, I talk a bit about the frames in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6iVZJiKe76ed5o

[@MicBergsma]

[@zdunekstudio]

What is your favorite lens for product photography? Which one do you use most often?

[@botvidsson]

When shooting with Hasselblad 120mm Macro 50% and Canon 100mm/2.8 L Macro 97% of all shots, also use 24-70mm/2.8 L 3%

[@paulmclinden7046]

Hi, I watch a few you tubers use various post processing software to process their captures and most have a different approach on just how they process an image. Can you please put together a definitive step by step approach on just how you personally approach your post processing: an exact order of operations you would use every time? Also, there are various types of capture from: Portraiture, Landscapes, Still life, Architecture to high contrast black and white etc. Does your order of operations using this software change according to the type of image captured and if so can you also show that order of operations for that specific genre mentioned above, obviously that may involve you producing 5 KZbin videos on just how your sequence of operations differs for each genre mentioned above, but I sincerely hope you can find the time to produce these videos. As an example some may use a 10 step order of operations raw processing framework like the following for a particular genre of capture: 1-LENS CORRECTION, 2-TRANSFORM, 3-CROP, 4-WHITE BALANCE, 5-EXPOSURE, 6-CONTRAST, 7-COLOUR(COLOR), 8-DOGE & BURN, 9-CLEANUP, 10-SHARPENING. Thanks, in advance.

[@botvidsson]

Really good tip for a video, will try to do that.

[@scottievee330]

Garbage in garbage out. This is the way to shoot. Very little post needed.

[@botvidsson]

Very true
