There is a steep learning curve when it comes to photographing reflective subjects, especially small ones like rings. We have been shooting this engagement ring in our latest video, watch it here >>> youtu.be/qCH2eIRJxt8
Wedding photographers, collectors and product photographers all need to get detailed, creative and hassle-free shots of rings and jewellery, but lighting reflective subjects can be a pain. Controlling where the reflections fall is often very tricky with conventional lighting.
The answer is to scale your lighting down with the subject. Don't try to eliminate reflections all together, but control them. The Adaptalux Studio makes this an absolute dream. With the flexible arms and adjustable brightness, precise adjustments are easy and fast.
The image you see here is a pretty stylistic one, but adding even the smallest amount of colour can create some amazing bokeh and highlights in a shot that would otherwise be plain!
We like to demo the studio with reflective subjects for this exact reason. We were showing off rings and pocket watches at The Photography Show this year (thanks again to everyone that came to see us at our stand!).
Showing off what the Studio can do got us thinking about rings in more detail, you can read our thoughts on our blog here >>> bit.ly/adaptaluxrings
Stuck in the house today but autumnalness still reigns. Pulled some leaves that appealed to me for colour variance off the ol larchlap, threw em onto a black cloth and photographed them studio-style.
Stourhead is an estate at the source of the River Stour near Mere, Wiltshire, England. The estate includes a Palladian mansion, the village of Stourton, gardens, farmland, and woodland. Stourhead has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1946.
When Stourhead first opened in the 1740s, a magazine described it as ‘a living work of art’. The world-famous landscape garden has at its centrepiece a magnificent lake reflecting classical temples, mystical grottoes, and rare and exotic trees, and offers a day of fresh air and discovery.

The first hexagons... for something. Watch this space!
Thank you to the lovely Lucy at attic24 for the pattern for these <3
Lets have something a bit more colourful and cheerful on this cold, dank, misty, wet and miserable morning in January, here in South London UK.
A shot from my last trek through the jungles of SE Columbia.
This is a girl dancing, as you obviously can see by yourself.
Quite long exposure, 2nd curtain sync flash.
The western sky as the sun sunk below the horizon, the colours were so intense on these western plains Sunday evening, perhaps a little dust in the sky as could see the farmers busily ploughing getting the paddocks ready to plant their winter crops.
Just love the new Flickr Uploader, so quick...:))
I hoped to capture a beautiful sunset last evening, as I saw the sky beautifully spread out with clouds. But I reached the location a little too late to capture the sunset. This is what I could get. I hope you would like it.
Again I missed the best of yesterday's colours, ( I enjoyed watching it while driving:))
as I was busy indoors when the players were all dancing in beautiful colours outdoors: the Sun, the Sky and the Clouds .....
Shot at the Sivagami Pettachchi Auditorium during one of Deepa Mahadevans dance concert performances. Colored light is always challenging yet rewarding. When you nail the right blend of reds, yellows, blue and greens, the joy of that accomplishment is quite sensational. In this instance though, there were merely green from the left and yellow from the right and a bit of orange from above which is almost invisible.
I’m always curious of how color of the light is representative of human emotion, many a times. It sort of changes how you look at things or rather how you feel about things.

Just a few hours left of the month and time to present picture number 12(!!!) of the challenge! The theme this month was “färg” (colour) and I knew quite early that I (once again) wanted to work with UV-light and UV-colours. It was a long and tough process of painting on all the colours and then take a decent picture. Next time I work with UV I will hopefully not be both the modell and the photographer. ^^
(During my editing process I made a black and white edit of the photo and loved it, sadly it was the opposite of the theme this time. But I will remember it until the next time have a UV photoshoot.)
As usual you can find all my pictures for the challenge in my albums and Kajsa's picture on her page: www.flickr.com/photos/kajsaeriksson
