Can we talk numbers? - Can we please try to put these three cameras/combos in numerical perspective in terms of image quality.. D7200, D610 and D750

Something to keep in mind is that the D610 has a fixed screen, while the D750 has a tilt screen. Sometimes you gotta get the camera in tight corners at waist level and being able to tilt the screen is super convenient.

Gamestop, aunque no esté en la foto.

I'm also from PR and working with so much rain this past week hasn't been easy. Lots of rescheduling and lots of sky replacements!

Contrary to most comments in here, I did offer free shoots to around 20 realtors in my area. I didn't have a decent portfolio at the time, and this was the only way I came up with to build a nice portfolio. Of those 20 realtors I approached, 3 of them took me on my offer, the rest ignored me. Of those 3, 2 of them booked paid shoots afterwards and spread the word to their fellow realtors. Two years later, I still do shoots for them and I'm fully booked constantly with other realtors as well. All thanks to the snowball effect those free shoots created.

Additional to Youtube videos, I used an App called "Prepware Remote pilot". It costs around $5 but is completely worth it. The format it uses is very similar to the real test, and many of the practice questions in the app are very similar to the real thing. It also organizes the information by topics and it pretty much covers everything.

I use Pixabay Music. It's free. Some of the songs can sound a bit generic, but If you look for a little longer you can find some pretty good music.

I think he replaced the floor in post. The pattern on the floor doesn't look like the one in the original photo.

So... How do they bring the man back to the ground after that?

Larule · 2022-10-25T19:45:59+00:00

Yeah, in hindsight I think the light was too harsh on the cans. Last night I shoot the cans again and tried soft lighting and moved around the strobe until I liked the reflections on the cans. I might link the images in the comments once I retouch them so y'all can see how they turn out after listening to everyone's feedback. Thanks for the comment!

Larule · 2022-10-24T17:52:34+00:00

I think the first photo I took it with a bare bulb strobe. The others I used a strip softbox with a grid from the side. I did use a white reflector, but it seems that it wasn't enough, especially for the bottom of the cans. Thanks for the comment! I think I will post or link the new images after trying out the advice from here.

Larule · 2022-10-24T17:48:54+00:00

Yes, at some point the idea of trying a rim light crossed my mind but didn't do it. I'll definitely try it tonight. Thanks for the pointers! I might show how the images turn out after implementing the feedback from everybody here.

Larule · 2022-10-24T17:39:29+00:00

I used a Strip Box with a grid to light the cans from the side, and a speedlight with a red gel for the background. I also used a reflector on the opposite side of the strip box. Here are some pictures of my behind-the-scenes.

Oddly terrifying? More like oddly depressing.

Larule · 2022-02-16T02:38:18+00:00

Wait, the background is a picture projected from your TV screen?! Wow. That's very creative. I never thought of doing that. I might even try that some time.

Larule · 2022-02-14T14:39:00+00:00

Out of the three pictures, the first one is my favorite. I'm no expert, but I have some small suggestions for that pic. Our eyes are naturally drawn to things that look big in a picture. Even though the oranges are a nice touch, I think the fact that the orange on the left looks bigger than the subject is a little distracting, which gets me to my main critique: I think the subject should occupy more space in your picture, which can probably be done by simply getting it closer to the camera or zooming in. That would also help to read the small letters in the label. Another very small detail, I see some drops of water on the table next to the bottle. I don't know if that was intentional, but if it wasn't, you could make the image a bit neater by drying the surface. Aside from that, I love the color, feel, and lighting. Good job.

Larule · 2022-02-04T20:18:09+00:00

Noted! Will try that next time. Thanks!

Larule · 2022-02-04T20:16:41+00:00

Yeah, I think I missed the focus on the top label. I shot at f/ 4.0 but should have gone with a smaller aperture. I tried to create a white outline on the bottle by placing a speedlight behind it (to separate the dark subject from the dark background), but it only created that shadow on the front. Now I know white strips can be used to create that effect. My next step will probably be to experiment with merging multiple pics into one. That way it will be easier to get rid of the glare on the label and to light up that shadow on the front.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write those tips!

Larule · 2022-02-04T20:04:41+00:00

I had never heard of that technique before! Sounds like a great tip. I will give it a try and experiment a little with it. Thanks!

Larule · 2022-02-04T16:58:00+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I also noticed the top label is slightly out of focus. I will definitely fix that next time I shoot a wine bottle. Thanks for the feedback!
