This! I really could do with modelling lamps with my AD200's, there is an attachment (round head) you can get that has a modelling lamp but i'm not sure how good it is. Then, it'd be a faff about as you'd have to attach the round head, place your lights using the modelling lamp, then change the...

Had another go of setting up a scene with wine. I like this, except, i'm still struggling to get a nice gradient on light on bottle.

I quite liked this one, and searched the forums for a repetitions / patterns open thread in urban / architecture sub forum but there doesn't seem to be one? Anyway, i'll start...

One from yesterday, originally 13 vertical shot panorama of Auckland CBD, taken from a moving boat, I cropped maybe 3 shots off from the right side though.

Formerly known as the Old Arts building, the ClockTower was designed by R.A. Lippincott, a Chicago-trained architect and brother-in-law of Walter Burley Griffin, designer of Canberra. The 54-metre tower, faced with Mount Somers stone, was inspired by the famous Tom Tower of Christ Church...

Not quite perfect but I still kinda like it!

Sorted it out, I hadn't had ACR installed, all working fine now with ACR installed lol

Hi all, this could be a really stupid question lol, but I have the photography subscription to Photoshop and lightroom, before I reformatted my PC (it needed it), whenever I opened a RAW image in photoshop, I had the quick edit pop up where I could do quick lightroom style edits before actually...

Thanks for the insight, some interesting thoughts, and it just bolsters the fact that art is perceived in very different ways. I'm very much new to this whole product photography thing and I have a lot to learn, I never really had a 'story'to tell with this just yet, it's more just experimenting...

Had another go, added an acrylic base for reflection, and a 3rd Godox AD200 with spot modifier pointing at the label. Better or worse? Edit, i bought wine and forgot to add it grr!

It's weird, this forum is making the image darker than it is, it looks brighter when I post it to facebook, and even on the Flickr page it's hosted at, but it's darker here! Try having a look here.... (click on the image to open in flickr) View...

Following on from last weeks bollinger champagne attempt, I set this scene up with a nice bottle of red, I would have put some red in the glass to compliment it but I didn't have a cheap bottle handy, and this bottle is too expensive to open for the sake of a photo! I may revisit this with a...

1. I've read this elsewhere too, I'll give that a shot 2. Completely agree with that, I used corflute as I couldn't find a diffuser / plexiglass sheet similar to that in this video that I was trying to 'replicate' View: https://youtu.be/zoLbmJveS-c?si=Kv6s2hyOyUYKAO2m 3. I've also seen...

Yep, I agree with that too.

So i've spent the last month or so buying into the product / portrait photography scene and built a studio (ish). Here is my first attempt, I know the label is not exactly central but I feel it's a pretty decent starting point, and i'll be spending today improving on it, but it's always good to...
