I have been planning this shot for ages. I never could find enough red Lego flower petals
so I ended up shooting a couple of patches and stitched them together to form the background. The Minifig was shot seperately and positioned in the middle. Finally the 3 floating petals where shot (out of focus) and strategically positioned.
After a couple of changes in my setup I decided to make a new group shot. Find out how I did this.
This small scene was created with two special editon lego sets. For full details on which set and the strobist setup used, click the image.
After watching a motionless spider for 30 minutes, I was ready to call it a day. But all of a sudden a small fly got caught in the web and the spider rushed in for the kill.
I enjoyed a walk through my home town of Amersfoort this saturday. Great weather, great locations an great people. The endresult: lots of great images and sore feet.
I have been eyeballing the Manfrotto 322 and 222 ball heads for a while. For macro shots I found my 488rc2 ball head a bit impractical. I needed two hands to unlock, reposition the camera and lock.
Right when I tought I made up my mind Manfrotto introduced the 324rc2 and 327rc2. In this review I will compare the 488 with the 327 and 324,
A simple setup to shoot subjects on a white background:
- 430EX snooted above flowers pointing down
- bare 430EX behind flowers to blow out background
- bare 430EX in front of flowers for fill
Had an awesome time shooting models and sharing tips & tricks with 20 other photographers.
A rainy saturday afternoon, a softbox, a couple of flashes and a string of cherry tomatoes are the ingredients for this product shot.
A glass plate beneeth the tamatoes prevent the black paper from getting ruined by the water droplets and creates a nice soft reflection.
The flashes are in a softbox only 40cm above the tomatoes. Leaving just enough room to take the shot.
