Second try with product photography

Image
This time I used a desk lap and my phone flash to create some product shots. This time I got some great shots but some of them were slightly out of focus and others just didn't work so my next try is to try recreate the shots that didn't turn out great. Those are the shots that I really like. The following are the ones I can improve. I want to get a much batter picture of the deck of playing cards spread as is showed in the first picture. I really love the picture of the jokers, but I missed focus as I used fully manual focus for it. So, I will recreate the same picture. I also what to show the faced cards as they all are unique unlike an ordinary deck.

Testing natural light for product photography

Image
I wanted to see how well natural sourced light will work for this project. Unfortunately I wasn't pleased with the outcome. Although most of the pictures weren't great I got some inspiration in terms of the set ups of the shots. I tried to drop coins on the set up to get some high shutter speed shot but, unfortunately the light wasn't strong enough. Those are some of the shot I have gotten from this test.

3 Product Images I Like

multiple lights images

Image
Today I learned how to use multiply lights at once. I got to understand how to set them up and take a very clear, nice studio image. I'm very pleased with this image as the smile is natural. I shot this image with a ration of 8.1 / 3 stop difference. Camera settings: 100 ISO, 1/125, f11.

Lab 3

Image
The shadow made the picture moody which is why I chose this picture. I liked how I caught the moment with this group. I like how well exposed this is and how it has close to no shadows in it. I chose this picture because of her face expression.

Lab 02

First Image I really like this picture because Eddie, the model, done such a rapper pose in the picture. Second Image I like how well exposed this image is. And Fineas smiling is a bonus. Third Image This image has a very different mood due to the models face expression which drags my attention to the image.
