Illuminating objects with a desktop lamp

posted by gonzalofis, Jul 5, 2008 12:20 PM — 23 comments

1.- place the object on your desktop

2.- place your camera on your tripod

3.- choose a manual slow speed

4.- take your desktop lamp and click your camera to take the picture

5.- move the lamp to illuminate the object in different angles while the exposure time on working

6.- ready, you have a lot of light to your object.

this is my unexpensive light studio.

sorry about my english

I admire the idea that everybody trying to share useful things with others as one close artistic community.
