Lighting Glass




Photographed By Nathan Lanham














This image was shot at f22-1/250


The flash light was behind the glass bottle and i held a Black card up in the frame. the white light was produced by the light that come around the side of the black card. Also the mirror that was on the bottom had a curved lip on the outer boarder and reflected the light. There was a snot of to the Right show up there label.. Note to get the no shadows from the snot it must be flagged form the back ground. or move the back ground out of the light.



















This was shot to have the light as the back ground. To get the back ground a white first take a spot meter reading of the back ground light then expose three stop to make the back ground white. remember that the a light meter is all was metering to a neutral gray. Eg.[ the back ground was f45. Three stops to get the back ground white. you will need expose at f16.]
Note that there is only 5 stop of luminance range in a digital image.


When shooting this image there was a snot on the right of the image, to high light the label. There was four black reflectors used. Two on either side and one on top this and one behind the bottle below the light this is the one that is giving the black lines in the glass.

Flash revision




This was to have the flash as the main and the out side light two stop under. the out side light was f5.6- 1/60 the flash was f5.6 1/60
So the shutter will control the out side light. So to get a two stop difference the shutter speed needs to be 2 stops under. The shot was f5.6-1/15.
You need to be careful that having a slow shutter speed the your subject doesn't move. Also that you don't get light from the modeling light in the shot ( turning it off is a good idea.)

























This was balancing the out side ligth with the flash. Out side light was f5.6-1/60 so the flash is also f5.6-1/60

















This shoot was this flash as main and sun light as the fill. Flash was f4-1/60 sun light was f1.8-1/60
We turned on the lights in the room and this help the light in the room.
Note tungsten light will give a reddish glow to the image. All so be careful with bounce when using the flash.











this is using the the mono block as the main light in the board room. The flash was 1/60-f5.6 shot at a 85mm lens this is so that the perspective is that of what you see in the world. No funny shapes with the heads.


















This was using the Flash as main light flash was at f22. the sun light was at f22-1/60s so we needed to make the sun light 2 stop lighter so using the shutter speed on the camera this controls the day exposure so the exposure was f22 -1/15s















This Shot was shot with the sun as the main light at f11/60s with the flash as two stops under.f32
