In this session, Eberhard "Mac" Schuy has a few pictures and the photographic realization presented it. I was so fascinated that I worried with the corresponding video training immediately.
Finally arrived in my drive, I have only once the Chapter scoured and was again done well here by the ordinary structure of video2brain.
Starting with the necessary and reasonable equipment, such as the camera that is not as it seems to believe necessarily a digital SLR camera needs to be and the corresponding light sources it goes in the next chapter to the use of studio lighting and the characteristics of the respective light shapers.
Thus, this chapter is extremely instructive for aspiring studio photographers.
In third chapter is devoted to the most important Mac Schuy point at all in photography. The light and how different light directions act on the abzulichtende object. The little tricks like floating glass panels that provide a reflective background, are held here not secret!
The auxiliaries which are explained in the fourth chapter, I many a time a light is risen, because when I look at pictures - whether object photography or portraits - I try to analyze how it could have been photographed. Not always I had an answer to my questions.
But from the subsequent chapters, it was down to business. The images that I already knew to some extent from the video2brain lounge.
But before it goes into the practical part, it is only once the basics of object photography to know. This goes beyond the definition of each category of object photography to general rules, such as the Golden Section or Guided Tour
Who now expects boring theory here, I have to disappoint you. While Eberhard acts at first glance a bit dry and not very amusing, but lacking here too much. The way he conveys this theoretical basic knowledge and the auxiliary remedies which he used to illustrate, convince a very rapidly otherwise.
In the practical part - the conveniently also was on DVD, so I could look at it comfortable on the couch - the theory is deepened immediately afterwards and there are some stunning images with all kinds of light sources such as studio flashes, a table lamp or even a slide projector , The recording techniques such as multiple exposure or long-term exposure are used here.
The result is images which really needs no digital post more.
Nevertheless, the image processing is the discussed in the last chapter, in which it is not just about the raw development but also about how to create from the already good base by means of adjustments, retouching and composing in Adobe Photoshop the perfect object photo.
Conclusion:
The video2brain "objects in detail" is for me as a photographer of predominantly models in studio scans have been uninteresting once by name, but those who have seen it once, you know that everything you see there not only in photography of glasses or tomatoes is helpful.
One should therefore not be irritated by the title of a DVD.
Several times I've caught myself while watching the clip here is that my view is digressed to see what I could photograph because to give it a try.
In particular, the techniques as "multiple exposures" from the analog days are still familiar to me have, this aroused my experimentation.
Although I will not change my photography focus now and plunge into the object photography, but some things that I have seen in the clip, I sit now even deliberately in photography in the studio, when it comes to set a model in scene !
