Shuweeet Sansai photo, Geek! Does this new camera mean you will bless us with more photos any time soon? Guess I should check your flickr?

lucienlucienkoonce wrote:when i set up and photo my ceamics, esp. the tea bowls, i use a tent and have a graduated backdrop, white to jet black, as background. i have a reflector on either side, with barn doors, and a 500 w daylight bulb in each. as a fill in light, i have a reflector shining on the backside with a 250 watt bulb. in looking at fluorescent lighting, i could not find a recommendation for suggested wattage amount. i noticed that some reflectors utilized one or three bulbs, and some went to as much as eight or nine bulbs in a single fixture. what is your perspective as to the amount of needed wattage? i know that the camera settings can be set to accomodate what available light there is, but with the daylight bulbs, as bright as they are, i tend to shoot (digital) with the lowest noise seting and smallest aperature setting in order to get the most depth of field. even with the daylight bulbs, as bright as they are, i don't believe i get the back rim of tea bowls, etc, totally in focus.
cool setup
wow. i tend to keep things simple on my end. usually one light w/ many reflectors. no light tent though. it would be easier, but i think only w/ very reflective pieces.
cheers !
enjoying geeks photographs too

Re: Geekgirl Photo: The Art of Tea
Yes, more photos, I've been shooting a lot lately, but not much that is tea-related. I'm currently up to my eyeballs in editing photos from the workshop I just attended. They are waiting patiently for some images for their latest brochure, this seems a bit like work!Chip wrote:Shuweeet Sansai photo, Geek!
