Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was captured at home in the living room. The idea and composition just happened to cross my mind and wanted to try it out.Time
It was in the evening at home after completing some refraction shots with my 'home studio' set-up. The 'backdrop' is a normal TV screen with a white jpeg image chromecast from my laptop. A piece of glass pane removed from an old photo frame as the base. To get the black base, I placed a black colored paper board beneath the glass pane. The camera is then set-up on the tripod and after that to arrange the wine glasses on the glass pane. Using live view on the camera, the wine glasses are meticulously aligned millimeter by millimeter to achieve the straightest line possible and of equal symmetry. Once the glasses are all aligned, water that's already colored with red food dye is poured into the last glass. This was captured on 19th April 2020 at approx 6pm.Lighting
The white image from the TV screen provided the white background and exposure while creating a shadowy feel to the glasses and the black rim outline on all the glasses. No external speedlites/flash were used in this image.Equipment
This was shot with a Nikon D750 paired with a 24-70mm lens mounted on a Manfrotto tripod with Manfrotto 3-way geared head. Settings used; ISO400, f/9.0, 24mm, shutter speed of 1/20secs and shutter remotely triggered with a remote shutter release. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
I had already set-up the 'home studio' for some refraction shots and already had all the wine glasses out for the shoot. Then I thought that before I keep all the wine glasses back in the cabinet, a 'forced perspective' shot like this would be interesting to compose.Editing
I always try to shoot images as perfect on RAW so that there's little post processing to do. The post processing done on this image is merely, brightness, highlights, shadows and luminance via Lightroom.In my camera bag
I always carry my trusted Nikon D750, Nikon 14-24mm for real estate/interior shoot, Nikon 24-70mm as the walk about lens, Nikon 70-200mm telephoto lens, Nikon SB910 speedlite, manfrotto tripod and manfrotto geared head.Feedback
- Ensure that the wine glasses are thoroughly clean with no dust, water stains and fingerprints. - Wear gloves if possible. And also keep an eye out on the wine glasses so that it does not reflect anything from the surroundings. - If possible, capture this shot in a dark room. Or alternatively cover the surroundings of the set-up with a piece of black cloth. - Always trigger the shutter with a remote shutter release or alternatively use the countdown timer to avoid any camera shake. - Ensure that the horizontal line at the back of the shot is as level as possible to minimise any post editing orientation.
