Chipped mug
Today I interrupt our trip to Vendée to upload three more recent tabletop photos.
This one is a super-macro shot I took with the Nikkor 105mm macro lens and a 35–mm Fotodiox extension tube. I stacked focus and had to use 68 exposures to cover the entire length of the chipped part, which in reality is little more than one centimeter long.
Composite shot made of 68 focus–stacked exposures, set using the built–in function in the camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus, Method C.
Strobist and technical: one Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 1.5 meters from subject and 1.5 meters above it, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna Octabox softbox with double diffuser; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in lateral (slightly backlit) position to camera right, 1.5 meters from subject and at about the same height, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro 80–cm Raja Deep softbox with double diffuser.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 II hot shoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GT2530 tripod with Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 II camera body, Micro-Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 S macro lens, 35–mm Fotodiox extension tube.
