redwatch Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Posted September 20, 2009 Yes, I know they aren't cheap! I am lucky that there is a camera shop right around the corner from where I work. They sell the 250W bulbs for $17.00 each.
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 250W flash tubes or modeling lamps? - If it's the flash tubes I'll have to look into that company and see if they make a bulb to fit my lights.
redwatch Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Posted September 20, 2009 No, modeling lamps. Regular Daylight bulbs. I believe they are the GE ones.
redwatch Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Posted September 20, 2009 Ok. Got two new GE photoflood bulbs (250W). Set the aperture to F/18 and this is what I got. Played with the lighting position to minimize the light reflection in the cyclops.
redwatch Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Posted September 20, 2009 And the same shot, but retouched somewhat
Toadtorrent Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 These are miles ahead of where you were. Lookin' great to me. Great stuff.
redwatch Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Toad! Still have some practicing to do, but I am liking the direction it's going so far!
Toadtorrent Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 You've taken more care on yours than I can be bothered with. Great stuff. Glad to see you're having fun with it...it is a hoot.
redwatch Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 Got a new, frosted silver acrylic riser today in the mail for my photo studio!!! I am quite please with the results!
dbutlerman Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Nice Red! The opaque reflection is cool!
redwatch Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Posted November 12, 2009 The coolest thing about this riser is that you can really alter the look of the reflection based on the light in the background. I'll try and post more pics tomorrow to show what I mean.
redwatch Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks S! Yeah, I am really quite pleased with the new riser set up. Takes the product shots up to a whole new level! And the silver riser is quite interesting as you can light it with different accent lights to get a whole new effect.
