So everyone likes a good product photo, especially one involving alcohol. Fur fun I decided to try to make a good product photo of some of the Crown Royal that we had bought.
So here is the final photo.
So here is the final photo.
Very happy with how it turned out, even though it took the better part of an hour for one photo. I kept trying to get some nice colors using just lights on the sides, but that wasn't working at all.
I originally made this set-up to do a nice photo of my Leica M3 for a large print that I wanted, so I went to Menards and bought a large piece of glass, and Hobby Lobby to get a couple black poster boards. It was nice doing some product photos, as it reminded me of when I used to take photos of my Lego creations like 4-8 years ago. I'll probably have to get some white poster boards and do some new ones of a couple Lego sets!
Anyways, here is the photo of my Leica M3, since it isn't on here yet:

I kept trying to get a good colored photo with the lights on the sides, as I said, and it really wasn't working out. I like working with white backgrounds so much more, but the black definitely lent itself to the subject matter a lot better. Anyways, with the lights on the sides it was falling way too much onto the poster board underneath the glass, as can be seen on the Left below here. Once I finally got a picture that I liked, down on the Right, I went ahead in Lightroom and Photoshop for editing!

Now it was some fairly involved editing, and the Raw files out of my Nikon D800 are always beautiful to edit with, giving me SO much information to work with. Here is a sort of "behind the scenes" photo that I took afterwards with my new D3s!
The Gear I used here was:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens
2x Nikon SB-600 speedlights
2x Yongnuo YN 560 III speedlights
4x Yongnuo RF-603Nii-N1 Wireless Flash Triggers
And the settings that the camera was on:
D800: 50mm f/8 1/250 ISO 100.
Some pretty standard camera settings for using speedlights, so I mostly played with the power and positioning of the lights.
And that's all for now! Thanks for reading,
