How to create SuperMacro lens
All of this is so beyond me it’s really astounding. Plus the video quality is actually awesome. Seriously, this is some hard core amazing work here.
Lighting Studies
Did a couple lighting studies yesterday here in the studio. Man, I just have to say it again, I love my Dedolights. I am using those with a Foba Combitube System here and it’s addictive. Very enjoyable to throw light around with this set up.
This cymbal was just a attempt at stark and clean. Used about 4 lights on this as you can see by the streaks of light on the top. Had 4-5 little flags all around to help keep the highlights at bay. The glove had 6 on it. 3 from the back, 2 from each side and one snooted just on the fingers in front for some fill.
Forcing myself to explore B&W imagery again as well. I get a little too distracted by color sometimes and I want to bring these back to more of a formal study of texture and light. The goal is to shoot some random object a day. Hope you all enjoy them.
The glove is supposed to be a bit creepy by the way. The wife comes in and says, “Nice murder glove.”
