This week for class we are doing still life and product shooting. Monday we focused on things with texture, while today we worked with metal objects. Today was A LOT harder haha! Especially the object that I chose. With out intending it the metal objects would reflect something going on on the other side of the room. Needless to say this developed into a headache quite quickly. Not to mention learning how to shoot without getting a bunch of hot spots on the image! (parts that are blown out and to bright.) After talking with my instructor I learned that if a professional was shooting what I brought to class that day they would use a special light box to light it evenly. Because I did not have one of these I ended up having to improvise. What I came up with I thought was pretty good and as close as I could get it without having the proper equipment. Perhaps tomorrow I'll reshoot something else! Our focus for tomorrow, however, is glass things. Finally, on Thursday, we will put all these things together into a more elaborate scene!
Hope that everyone is having a fantastic week!
Here are some of the shots from today and yesterday :)
