Photo A Day: Cool Blue
Posted under Photography
Out take from a photoshoot I did this week for lifestyle boutique. The brief was for shots of the boutique exterior and interior, but there was a lot of downtime as the window was dressed, the shop rearranged etc. So I got busy with a few product shots while I was waiting…I lingered over these candles because the smell was so divine.
A thing I learnt on this shoot…don’t underestimate the value of a polarising filter for knocking back reflections on glass. I was really having a problem with the exterior shots since the glass plate frontage was reflecting the buildings opposite very heavily. Add a polarising filter and, hey presto, the reflections pretty much disappeared.
Another thing I learnt…always carry a screwdriver in your camera bag, just in case you hit with the stupid stick and attach your tripod shoe plate BACK TO FRONT. Ahem.
Live ‘n’ learn…live ‘n’ learn.
I recognise those candles and that background cushion!! Very excited about the photo shoot Jude, I can’t wait to see the results.
