A pro, as always and knows her stuff. SO glad you're here, Lindsay...thanks so much for making this simple and demonstrated/explained with video and commentary. You're the best!!
Very cool ideas. I noticed, too, that when the colander was moved further away, you did lose the hard shadows, but it reminded me of the shadows you get with rain on a window. Lots of options to try out. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Lindsay :-) for showing us the creative use of simple things most of us already have in the kitchen, you are great inspiration :-). I sometimes also use small mirrors to make a special effects together with a polarising filter, to control the reflective effect in the picture.
One time at the dollar store I picked up a car windshield solar shield which serves as a great silver reflector. Some cardboard or foam core to give it a stiff backing is perfect for making a big silvery bounce card.
Thanks for the tips to make this technique work better. Saving myself a trip to the Dollar Store, I found my kitchen cabinets are a great source of similar props. Wife even helped me with suggestions. 😁 Thank you-you're adding more and more fun into Phuntography! You can quote me on that. 😊 ⭐x5
Here is one trick I use. Shoot through bubble wrap, the one with the one inch air cells. Add a colored jell and instant colored textured background. I get tons of this bubble wrap when I order my used camera gear and the shipping department at the store is insane about stuffing the box with this stuff.
You need to use a smaller light source to get a crisp edge. A studio light is too large. I use a 5mm LED light and I don't need to place the gobo near the face
