Bringing my fleet to work

[stokke]

Tony brought up a thread in the "still picture" section, which made me remember this series. I brought my entire fleet along to work before Christmas, borrowed the studio and one of the workplace's SLR's.

Behold Marius' Heli division LOL

And a few singles of my latest acquisition; dubbed "Big Mama"

Nice Marius. I love the last picture. So clear and crisp.

Thanks bud

 

[Derek]

Definitely a good lookin setup. Very cool!!!

 

[Tony]

The only thing I would have done differently is I would have reduced the white balance or made the shutter a little faster. Other than a little too much wash out, they are great pics.

 

[stokke]

It's a compromise between getting not perfect white background and not overexposing the motives. The white balance is neutralized on a photographer's grey plate - so it should be correct. Image representation may often differ depending on the particular monitor it is viewed on Pics was edited on a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor.

No matter what tony says! Great set of pictures Marius!

 

[Tony]

I said they were good lmao. But I'm just a poor ole rednek from oklahoma...

 

[murankar]

Looking good. I wish I had a sudo studio for product shooting. I did do a small product shoot that is on here some where.

Keep it up.

 

[Tony]

Hey Marius, can you get a full room shot of the studio where you shot these?

There is more behind me, but that's mostly props and junk

 

[Tony]

Canon 5D, that is a great camera! What kind of lights are you guys running? I'm asking because I'm thinking of setting up a studio to do some of the same.

 

[stokke]

Yeah that camera is awesome The one in the pic is brand new, the mark III. We got the mark II as well, but that one is due for a maintenance check at Canon. Our lamps are from Bowens, two 680W and two 500W.

You should know I had to go read that off the lamps, because I don't have a clue LOL I'm the graphic designer, so I rarely have anything to do on the studio unless it's for personal use.

 

[Tony]

I need to take my XSi in for a check up. There are some dead pixles on the CMOS. And that is some kickin' wattage on the lights. No wonder it's so friggin bright lmao.

 

[murankar]

Ok thats enough I quit.

 

[stokke]

Ok thats enough I quit.

Me no understand...

 

[murankar]

you and those toys i cant compete.

 

[stokke]

you and those toys i cant compete.

Heh, they're not my toys Matthias - I just borrow them

 

[murankar]

I don't even have a place to go and shoot plus I would have to rent. Those rental fees can get pricey.

 

[Tony]

That's when you setup what I have. All you need is a kitchen table, a large white drop cloth (or whatever color) and a couple large CFL lamps with some kind of reflectors. YOu will have to use some image software to adjust the blue or yellow out of the picture, but it's cheap and very portable. I wish I could afford those lights that are in the above pic. True color lights!
