Eduard Peter last artist-designer-turned-Multimediafachmann - Media Specialist Media. (video, audio, photo, and web printdizayn, 3D graphics.)
In Germany, 6 years. Recently I discovered his love for photography and still life. Before that I could not stand neither one nor the other. HO as the Japanese say: "my time, and with it, we change.»

Next word ergonom'a:

This is the first story about how I shot my models. Being a great admirer of the American street cruisers 50tyh, I decided to immortalize their small collection of chrome beauties. Experience clearly no, as usual literary afternoon with fire, well not that hard, he decided to just come, and that would not be bored at the same time you will share your stories. Well, let's start?
Buick Electra in 1958 fell the first victim of my experimentation (pictured above).

First I built a primitive spot, twisting for this piece of thick paper
in the form of a cone, and shall cleave to his lamp and then duct tape. Type of course turned out awful, but it did its homemade spot: The front pattern was illuminated beam of light.



Drawing on the back side I did with the help of the device for decorative lighting heap, on the occasion of which I bought in the store IKEA.



It remained to illuminate the model side, but not entirely, and hateful hemisphere. In the course I went to another piece of paper. With its two pegs udalos achieve the desired. A more simple: turn off the light, the autofocus on the camera, press the button and ... the rest of Photoshop. Lights illuminate it, the glare from the glass to remove the excess with a bit of color to play, lo and behold, one machine immortalized.

That is not quite what you expected? I also do not like it all, well after the first ball, and he knows damn ... or vice versa? You look to the latest model, and I have them 15, learn how to shoot better. After all, there is no limit to perfection, right?



This time I got the arm Chevy. Chevrolet Corvette 1958.



As planned modelka must stand against the bright flame and look well, very fast. What would the flame faded under the rays of additional sources needed it as the otgorodit. Luxury fixtures with elegant wings domesticated in my studio was not found, they had to find a replacement. The decision came quickly. Garazhik! That's what we need. No sooner said than done. Old shelf, a piece of black cloth that's you and garazhik dark, just what you need



Flame helped create all the same priborchik from Ikea and red glass vase bought for a long time and just in case



Translucent reflector placed on top of creating soft diffused light, without unnecessary glare do not need anyone. Two pieces of drawing paper focused beam of light on my cheap svetilnichki birth were not programmed. The entire structure as a whole looked like.



Well, like it? I confess I was pleased with the result, too. In Photoshop had to light the lamps and podtemnit corners. All things. If you ask me, but what you're doing is samodelochnoe and hastily cobbled together? I'll tell you: I have twice the same thing does not shoot. Did? Happened? Farther! So what then fuss. Well, in general continued, follow the program ... and light, do not forget to switch off when shooting

History of the third. This time for his favorite Studebaker "Golden Falcon" of the sample in 1957, I decided not to spare neither time nor money. Bought cardboard, paper, metal foil adhesive and decided to make a pair of homemade spots. Why is improvised? And no my light bulbs such branded pribambasikov. No manufacturer has provided. Here's a naborchik and fashioned



The nozzle assembly resembled a hyperboloid of Engineer Garin than the spot nozzle, but the sizes were attributed primarily to the fact that the fluorescent colors would not get stung from overheating. Dear bulbs are then, EUREKA 39 apiece, so it had to do nasadochku roomier. Inside, all the parts are covered with metal foil reflennoy that would reduce the loss of light power, which is already not very large at these reflectors.



The result was two types of directional light sources. One gave a small spot, and the other could make the spot larger and in addition izmenyat very form of spot flattening as necessary at the edge of the locomotive in the form of pipes.



As planned in the background Studebaker should rasplyvatsya orange and golden light spot. Golden Hawk translated golden falcon, and therefore wanted to do something such, zolotistogo.S this task coped very priborchik from Ikea for dekoratovnoy lighting kitchens.
I think however, that for these purposes it is normal for children could come filmoskop.



Add to that a hyperboloid, and sending the light spot on the hood of the model, I
I got the correct lighting scheme.



It remains to find the right angle and experiment with exposure. Best rezultat turned to the diaphragm by 16 times in 2 seconds. In Photoshop I had almost nothing to do. "Lit up" superfluous lights and put a couple of scratches. That's all. I hope that someone will come in handy in my experience. Good luck.
PS. Once again, that would not be forgotten when shooting overhead light (where the picture made for the workshop) off.
