I use a Pringles can with the bottom cut off as a snoot for a speed light. I can even tape gels to it or the speed light.
Hello, i take photos of watches as stock photos for my website. whats the best lighting set up you would suggest. my Camera is a Sony A7RIV and the lens is a SOny macro f2.8 90m. im struggling with lighting at the moment. Thank you, Dmitri
I know lighting isn’t sexy to most people, but this is probably the most underrated video you’ve done.
I loved the description, thanks a lot
Great job, again, Hayward! I watched the vid this morning and wasn’t able to comment and so doing it tonight. I appreciate all the direction regarding lighting as I know little, but if one wanted to do (for now) just still life or product photography, which of these lights would be “the one.” I mean, I’m sure that the trigger and reflectors would be important, but which of the lights would be the one that one would need for the aforementioned genres?
the information in this video is invaluable. def saving and will reference it myself in future as well as suggest/share with peers. *idea* could you do a piece of content that would show a portrait/sample and then go through the image referencing where each light hits? im a visual learner, i love the way you break down topics. thanks so much for this!
What kind of tripod do you recommend, that’s not super expensive? I have one but the camera is too heavy for the head. Camera just keeps falling down.
