Abstract Knife & Fork Macro Photography
Рет қаралды 21,738
Күн бұрынReflections, shadows and colour are the names of the game for this macro photography tutorial. We are shooting knives and forks from the kitchen to create some amazing abstract macro photography
Using the coloured lighting arms of the Adaptalux Studio to explore this shiny cutlery is good fun if you need inspiration for photography subjects to shoot on a rainy day in the winter. Exploring common household items through photography can be a great way to spend a cosy day indoors.

An alternative to perspex is using a black polished floor or wall tile, i use a large 450mm x 450mm one for alot of my desktop works, or a whit one (same size). Another alternative is using a mirror!

Also black plexiglass is available in many home improvement stores as well as art supply stores (like Blicks). I use it but it IS rather easy to scratch. I will try your suggestion for a black polished floor tile. It might have a little more resistance to scratches.

I do think the Adaptalux system is a fantastic idea, however I think it's also VERY expensive for what it is.

Thanks for the feedback Ashley, I'd encourage you to have a look at some of the info on the website, it has a lot of features that justify the cost of the system.

I am binge watching your videos. What shutter speed, ISO and apertute do you recommend for this kind of shots in dark?
@Adaptalux 3 жыл бұрын
The knife one was taken at f11 1/160 and ISO1000. Your mileage may vary depending on how close you have your lights and how much of your reflective object is in frame.

Hello, I have a question I was hoping you might be able to answer. I am looking into getting into Macro Photography, and I have had my eye on the Sony A7R4 with the 61 mega pixels and was wondering if this would be a good camera to use for macro work, because of the ability to crop in and retain really good details.
@Adaptalux 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Ziffle, that's a great choice, you cant really go wrong with high end cameras like that, and yes those megapixels will give you more flexibility with cropping for sure.

@Darren got it, Perspex, it's just acrylic plastic, you can get it cut to size for quite cheap and in lots of different colours, so it makes for a good surface to shoot on.
