The last tip about moving the light source while taking multiple shots was new to me and a great idea! Another tip I would add is to take a shot of the background and surroundings without anyone in the scene. This makes it easier to fill in background areas in Photoshop.

@b991228 5 жыл бұрын

Does light falloff factor into how far back you set the modifiers? If you set the modifier immediately out of frame on the lighted side will you get excessive falloff toward the dark-side?

@alanchan569 3 жыл бұрын

I have shot excellent and sharp group photos with over 10 people inside at f1.8 with an entry level Nikon D5600 and 50mm f1.8 prime lens. To pull off the image, the camera must be focused in the dead middle of the group AND most importantly the group must be by as much as possible standing in the same plane of view (ie. all the subjects must be at approximately the same distance away from the camera) for it to work!

@sundaydickson 5 жыл бұрын

Please may I know why you're using a low aperture value (F4) here, I'm good with both the shutter speed and ISO but the aperture...? Don't you think (my own thoughts here) that there's that tendendency for some of the subjects to be out of focus?

By doing that you are going against the natural light/ shadow direction and creating conflicting and confusing shadow detail and light fall off.
