Pour Whisky into the Glass Photography

(Photo have some retouching)

I got a bottle of whisky from my friend. He got the selling agent of this bottle of whisky in hong kong. This whisky is brewing in Japan. My friend renamed this whisky. I want to take a photo of this whisky. I researched some references photo on the Internet. According to the reference photos. I chose a pour whisky into the wine glass photo shooting method. This method has some difficult points. 1) The distance between the background and the wine glass, arrange the orange background light area. 2) The proportion of the wine glass and the bottle of whiskey in the frame. 3) Whisky flows down into the wine glass position, whisky needs to overlap on a highlight. 4) Pressing the shutter and pouring the whisky is all handled by myself. So it’s very difficult. I tried many times. One of many many photos met my expectations. 5) Background and surface texture have photo retouching. Which is shown below. I hope you like my artwork.

One day my friend gave me a box of hand-made Halloweens cookies. The packaging is very beautiful. The box made of a hard card paper. The box middle area is a transparent plastic card, so we can see cookie inside of the box. Halloweens cookie shape is very cute. The shape has a Spider, Skeletons, Bats, Ghosts, Mummy, Pumpkin Heads, Black Cats, etc... So I decided to open the photography project, with these Halloweens cookies. In the first stage of shooting. Some related themed shooting effects were researched on the Internet. As a reference, the shooting direction was determined through reference data. I purchased some props on Taobao's website. Let the screen can enhance the Halloween atmosphere. I do not want the Halloween props to take away the main objects of the Halloweens cookies. So, I also spent careless thinking on the purchase of Halloween props and tried my best purchase of props good for shooting. I can not choose has too many colors and details on the props. In the end, I chose a building made of black hard card paper, simple structure, and capable of expressing Halloween. The props are needed hand makes processing, and it needs one week times. When finished preparing the props. I enter the next shooting stage. First: Determine the main object cookies location and numbers of Halloween cookies. Second: Add Halloween props to the shooting screen. Try different positions and choose the best positions. Third: decorative lighting and main light source cooperate with each other. Fourth: Try different aperture shutters and shooting angles. Finally, complete the shooting.

Wine Bottle Photography

Wine Bottle Photography Review

Wine Bottle Photography. At this time, The object is a small wine bottle. The bottle shape is very special. The wine bottle's shape is a violin. I need to plan how to shoot the photo of a violin wine bottle. In this process, I need to think about what shooting effect needs to be used. The effect needs to be suitable for this violin wine bottle. I need to think about what equipment, resources, and accessories I have to use in this shooting. I research shooting wine bottle information on the Internet. The Internet has many of the wine bottle's shooting effects. Finally, I decided to use the backlight shooting effect, and add my own idea to this shooting method. Such as continuous light plus orange gel. The continuous light through to the orange gel, this method can make an orange color's light show on the black color's board. That color with the small wine bottle's color very matches. Violin wine bottle's bottom with dark blue gel. This method brings out the water wave effect under this shooting. In the small violin wine bottle, the bright part is 1/3 of the whole frame, and the dark background composition is 2/3.  The light and dark areas can make a golden ratio. The small violin wine bottle setting in the right position and angle in the shooting lens screen. The above part of the processing is completed. Next is the light setting. On the left-hand side is a 90-degree speed light. This angle's light can highlight the left-hand side violin wine bottle shape. On the right-hand side have a whiteboard. The whiteboard can reflect the left-hand side speed light to the violin wine bottle's right surface. Due to the right-hand side's light is reflected lighting, so the power of the right-hand side's lighting is weaker than the left-hand side's lighting. It can create different lighting power levels on the bottle. Reflected lighting can highlight the shape of the right-hand side's violin wine bottle. Finally, I use the speed light with a flash beam tube to light up the front of the violin wine bottle and step by step to complete this project.

In this post. All images no photo retouching.

All Angle's Flash Light is ON.

The Backlight and Speed Light with Flash Bean Tube is ON.

The Backlight and Left-hand side Flash Light is ON.

Jewelry Photography with Color Lighting Background - photo by ken

Jewelry Photography with Color Lighting Background Photography Review

This time jewelry photography, make a color lighting background picture, suitable for a fancy mood, a little girl feels of the ring. If this background effect is to shoot the mature style of the ring. Then will be out of place. So when you use the relevant background. You must be careful to consider. Background style and object style. Is it suitable? Being able to match or near both styles with each other is very important.

Jewelry Photography with Color Lighting Background Difficult Point:

How to set the flash power to control color lighting background bright level.

If you set the power is too high the small light bulb color will not be displayed or go to white, on the other side if set too low the small light bulb color background may be too prominent.

You need to try few times the small bulb, object, and camera distance.

This photo only turns white balance, brightness, de dust, and crop image no too much retouching.

Below in this photo, the ring surface is turned brighter. More retouching.

Jewelry Photography Review

Many Jewelry Photography methods for shooting diamonds on the Internet, using continuous light sources and setting a longer time exposure. This method is also possible, but after shooting, you need to use software to enhance the contrast. In my experience, it is because use continuous light to take a diamond's ring photo, long time exposures will have contrast problems, not enough contrast. But you can soft this problem on the software. In these times I use flash to take a diamonds ring's photo.

Use flash to take jewelry photography difficult point: 

How to set the flash beam tube. Let the light reflect the diamond's texture. Need to try different height and angle many times. If you choose the wrong height and angle. You will see the diamond surface is all white or all black and has no diamond details.

Below photos only turn the white balance, brightness, de dust, and crop image no too much retouching.
