Adaptalux
Blue and Red Pocket Watch
We hope you all had an amazing Christmas, along with some downtime to get the camera out! We have been spending some time shooting pocket watches in our latest Youtube video. You can watch it here - youtu.be/MRS2BOdr9po
Many of you will recognise this little pocket watch from The Photography Show, we use it quite a lot to demonstrate the capabilities of the Adaptalux Studio. Reflective, detailed subjects like this can be tricky to light, so you need the flexibility that the Lighting Arms of the studio provide.
In this video, we spend some time looking at the differences between white Diffusers, Colour Filters and Lighting Arms. Adding colour to subjects like this can often be done more for fun than practicality, but there are some subtle tricks you can use to enhance even a "natural" looking shot.
For this shot, we went a little wild with the blue and red lights, but replacing those colours with white would be equally effective at showing off the engraved details of the watch. If you want to read a little more about how we set up the lighting for a shot like this, check out the blog post on our website - bit.ly/adaptaluxWatches
