What a great turnout for the start of the Summer Program!
The focus was on fitness despite the irresistible aroma from the
sausage sizzle!

SHINY, SHINY PORCELAIN…
Have you ever tried to photograph a shiny
still life object hoping that you won’t appear in the image? The wonderful artists at APAT SA face this
challenge continually when they produce lustrous painted porcelain pieces.
I was invited to give a presentation on how
to photograph their works of art. The
aim was to provide tips on how to reduce reflection of any kind. Leading up to this presentation, I challenged
myself by photographing the various items.
I set up a mini “studio” with materials
that can easily be found in any house. A
desk lamp, white thick cardboard, aluminium foil, tracing paper, small folders and
a step ladder were arranged to enclose the item being photographed.
I started shooting at nighttime. (The idea is to shoot with no natural light.)
The next step was to observe where the
shadows and reflections appeared and move the reflectors to eliminate
them. Experimenting with different
angles when taking the shot was also useful in minimizing the reflection. The camera settings were adjusted to
Tungsten, 400 ASA, no flash and widest aperture.
These were the results….
The fact is that editing the image may also
be necessary to remove any unwanted reflections despite your best efforts.
We look forward to seeing some sharper
images on www.apatsouthaustralia.com.au

Personal Photography Requests…
Sometimes clients ask
for a specific look to their photographs.
For example, an object can be highlighted white the rest of the photo is
in black and white.
