Studio on a Budget MKII

[Paddy]

Got a bit bored this evening so decided to try and make a mini studio with stuff lying around here, inspired by Berserker Catsplats setup ! !
1 X Desk
1 X Black Tee Shirt
5 X A4 Copy Pages
1 X 20W Adjustable Desk lamp
1 X Roll of duck Tape

Took a little fidling around, using the A4 sheets as reflectors & Diffusers and under exposing a stop or two but I'm happy with the results

Quick shot of the Setup ...

Then a few things I found lying round ..

The hachi pic looks great, almost like a 1:1 studio pic.

[Lilleput]

Liked the Waterford looked the most pro to me..

 

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Great shots! T-shirts and desk lights for the win!


Just wait, I've got some great ghetto lighting projects in the works.

 

[Carsightings]

just one thing what did you use the paper for?

 

[Paddy]

I put it in front of the bulb to soften the light and reduce the bulbs harshness !

 

[Carsightings]

i see. and what settings would be recommended for the camera?

 

[EsCoBaR]

:shock: Nice work man..

 

[BerserkerCatSplat]

i see. and what settings would be recommended for the camera?

It really depends on the shot, distance from the subject, number of lights, etc. At ISO 100, my exposures for these shots are around 1/8. Here's a couple of mine with the EXIF data for you, if that helps:

Camera Make: TOSHIBA
Camera Model: PDR-3300
Flash Used: No
Exposure Time: 0.091 s (1/11)
Aperture: f/3.9
ISO equiv: 100
Metering Mode: Spot

Note: it says "1/11" shutter speed, but it's actually 1/10. My camera is crazy.

Camera Make: TOSHIBA
Camera Model: PDR-3300
Flash Used: No
Exposure Time: 0.125 s (1/8)
Aperture: f/4.8
ISO equiv: 100
Metering Mode: Spot
