MBP-Podcast Episode #197 : Ambient Light Product Shoot

In Episode 151 of this Podcast we looked at my Speedlite studio lighting. Today we're going to take a look at a simple way to light products to shoot with ambient light.

Here is the blog post with the photos of the simple ambient light product shoot setup: http://blog.martinbaileyphotography.com/2009/06/29/podcast-197-ambient-light-product-shoot

The backdrop I used in this shoot is from Horiuchi Color, but I'm not sure these are available outside of Japan: http://www.horiuchi-color.co.jp

Here is the Blog post in which we take a look at the tear-sheets from a book that I did a lot of work for that is just back from the printers: http://blog.martinbaileyphotography.com/2009/06/28/the-four-seasons-of-namiki-tearsheets/

Here's the blog post with the self-portrait that I mentioned too: http://blog.martinbaileyphotography.com/2009/06/24/lessons-learned-from-the-luxury-of-self-portrait/

Here's a link to the forum post from Episode 151. Here you'll find the Lighting Setup Diagram for my simple studio lighting, using speedlites and umbrellas: http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2299

MBP-Podcast Episode #193 : Fine Art Inkjet Paper Printing Tests Part #2

With the plethora of fine art inkjet papers available today, I figured I'd select a subset and run some tests. This is the second part two episodes in which we take a look at the results and my testing methods.

You can download my test chart for your own testing with the links in Episode 192's shownotes. I didn't include them again here, because they are the same files, and I didn't want to make people download them twice.

You can make your own Granger Chart and Gamut Chart very easily in Photoshop. I found the instructions for this on the Luminous Landscape here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/test-charts.shtml

There is also a PDF document that I released as episode 192.1, that gives a full explanation of the tests and results with the images.
