Studio Photography Edge Light Reflective Object

[Mpathize]

Around 4.25.. when the car comes up..you mention "nothing wrong with using a backlight, just remember to put a blocker on there" can you elaborate a little on that please..or even better do a vid ;-) I'm imagining the blocker will have a rim light but not the subject.

Anyhoo..love your videos..just wish you lived in the UK.

@Mpathize The blocker (a rock out cropping or a bunch of trees) would act like the black card leaving a rim light on the car but unlike in the studio the light sky all around would supply a fill on the subject. I actually do have some parts of a car shoot on video I just haven't edited it. My educational site Myphotolesson,com has more information on this technique

Please make more...you are very good indeed -)

Excellent video and presentation from someone who knows his field. Others on Youtube (specifically so called "expert village) should learn from this and see how it should be done.

Nice work! :o)

Brilliant.

That was soooo interesting.

Thanks.

This is a good demonstrative video. Still, you are not changing the angle of incidence as you move that glass. You have a diffuse reflection (nonspecular) and it is the refractive index of the glass and proximity to the interface that causes us to see the rim light or dark.

that's cool

your video is great, just wanna ask if did you use a mirror under the wine glass? to make that reflection effect? Im talking about when you put the wine glass on top of the reflective thing, is that a mirror?

[tomonator60]

No mirror, just a piece of ordinary glass. It has the same reflective properties as the wine glass. So it reflects the background like the sunset would reflect off a lake.
