A Life In Memory Objects
Test Shoots 13/14 November
For this home studio set up I ran test on lighting, exposure/ev values etc (1st image) until happy. I didn't use the white photo backdrop cloth, finding that some off white card from the bakery (used for cakes!) was duller and flatter (in a good way) - though may yet try out some more backings. Although the stitching in photoshop went well some pictures were rejected as they threw the whole lot out of kilter. What to do?
I think I need to keep the camera utterly static as per lighting (occasionally I brought it up or down)
Much like a printer’s crop marks I need the same, and then leave an inner border so that photoshop has more to go on to stitch seamlessly the backdrop, some of my objects were too close to thew photo edge.
Post tutorial Graham has suggested looking at a key/numbering the items/pages - maybe I should visit the Natural History museum to check out ideas. Also a little duller/more shadow would be good.
The resolution (This Canon EOS M is 18DPI) is great as seen by the close up above), also printed at A0 just fine.
