[zzzzbest]

F22? Yikes thats where diffraction is at its worst

[pbonney]

First time seeing one of your videos and you know your stuff. Love the shots of the kitchen utensils and to me they look awesome. I subscribed. Enthusiastically.

@pbonney thanks, nice to have you aboard, more tutorials to come.

[ozstriker1984]

@LearnMyShot you sir are my hero, i have been trying to photograph wedding rings, racking my brain trying to figure out how they get that nice look, now i know :)

[LearnMyShot]

@pbonney thanks, nice to have you aboard, more tutorials to come.

Thanks! I did notice that about my hybred.. it is difficult to get a strong background blur at portrait distances. makes sense you would need F22 for better DOF.

I still look foward to the day when I can afford a full DSLR

(I have been adapting my pop up to use monolights (flash detector cube and trigger in a housing on popup) im hoping to use ND filters to kill light for low key style images. (pop up normally triggers monolights too early)

[brent847]

You shot at F22 . my current camera is apature limited (fuji S1800) is there a reason you did this? I can get to f3-4 or f6-8 I also now have a selection of ND filters which will lessen my limitation I would like to hear what you would try if you did this shot with my camera.

I would like to give this project a try once i get the materials, what was the table cloth?

thanks for a great video.

@brent847 F22 has bigger field of sharpness, then f3-4. But - small sensor give bigger field of sharpness, so your hibrid camera dont need so small aperture as DSLR.

[bronicaetrs]

it is flat and dull. theres no contrast, highlights are what my last 2 clients want and not flat greys like this

[LearnMyShot]

@bronicaetrs if your clients ask for high contrast shoot high contrast, why are you yelling at me for?

[NusultanYakbai]

in my opinion the picture looks a little dull to me

[MrRebelxs]

@NusultanYakbai It's just a matter of taste. The image looked just fine to me .. in fact very good I must say. He got what he intended to shoot and show. You can always recompose photos to your liking, you don't have to shoot the photos exactly like Robert did.

The tutorial is awesome! Thank you very much! What's the song name?

[deandezember]

What is the song name playing in background?

Thanks

[zorex0304]

thanks,will a softbox produce same quality ?

[LearnMyShot]

@zorex0304 not really, less control. soft box is evenly lit, diffusion tissue you can project and skim light at any angle to achieve gradation of tones

[acmoc]

cool thanks

[69tubeB]

Terrific

[TaaRiiFrp]

very useful

[2006kcl]

hi, where did u get the tissue paper from?

[LearnMyShot]

@2006kcl Art store ... amazon search for vellum roll

[Gindeshanghai]

Thanks for sharing, that's wonderful.

I have a difficult task - how can I photograph reflective/ round objects like metal necklace beads? They always reflect my camera @ the front.

[Cj90RAK]

thanx 4 sharing i really enjoyed



[smtabishzafar]

nice man



[gulfman101]

Where do you get the monopods to hold your clamp lamps? Also, where do you get that boom stand of sorts to hold your tissue paper?

[LearnMyShot]

@gulfman101 i just added the link to it in description below the video, thanks

[TAFotografia]

You good at teaching, keep it coming!

[Xanatos1000]

you just used a lamp and a tissue paper???

[LearnMyShot]

@Xanatos1000 yep

[ChristiaanL14]

I have a question why do you always use tungsten lights and never work with mono light strobes? =)

[LearnMyShot]

@ChristiaanL14 we have about 10 tuts where we use strobe. browse all lessons on our site. Clamp lamp is expensive solution that everyone can afford...

[Quangngoc70]

Thanks.......

[thvs12]

TNX I like it,  easy to understand

[neverendsproduction]

I liked your quick and easy explaination of shooting shiny things. I shoot video and was wondering about shooting a chrome pipe such as an exhaust pipe for a truck without being able to be seen in the shot. Any thoughts?

[LearnMyShot]

@neverendsproduction . try using a long lens around 135 -200mm so you will be far away and will not show up much in chrome . are you shooting just pipe (in studio) or on the car? what camera do you use?

[merovatis1]

thanks for the video! I bought a D60 and it seems that it doesnt have the same settings like your camera. I found how to change to ISO 100 but i cant understand what is the 22 and 1,3 that you show at your camera settings...

[LearnMyShot]

@merovatis1

22 is the f-stop / aperture

1"3 is shutter speed

1.3 seconds

refer to your your camera manual for setting aperture and shutter speeds

[merovatis1]

@LearnMyShot Thank you very much for the quick reply!

[demonfrog1776]

where do you get that paper?

[LearnMyShot]

@demonfrog1776 just search for"vellum clearprint roll" 1000h

[schuchi14]

hi! nice tutorial! what lens (mm) did u used atthis shot and which aperture? because it looks like as everything is totally sharp!

[LearnMyShot]

@schuchi14 it was 10-22 canon lens, at F-22

[factory89]

Did you any other lighting or was the one light your only light?

[LearnMyShot]

@factory89 this was only one light. 

[Kennthegreat]

What's the loud music for? Annoying indeed!

[wha1633]
