Hey great tutorial. I was looking at a few other videos and photographers seem to edit their jewelry photography a lot. Do you do the same? Are the pictures you posted in this video edited or unedited?
Mate your videos are very informative and easy to follow and detailed. I am having problem with taking photo or video of Jewellery item on a turntable. I tried taking photo of Jewellery necklaces in light-box but after taking the photo, the color and shining is completely different from what we see with our eyes.
Good to hear. And yes jewellery is a picky thing to shoot since even a tiny change in the angle of the camera or lighting when taking the shot can make or break it. The way to teach yourself is simply get a single light (not a light box because that doesn't always work like it's said to) and just take photos with the light coming from different directions until you find the "sweet spot" which makes the shininess look best for that particular item. It's a fair bit of trial and error unfortunately. There's no perfect setup which will work for every item.
Also you are not 'shifting' like in Large format photography, in forensic photography, to shoot a mirror, you need parallell movements of shift, moving the camera out of the "angles", giving a clean shot, in the early 50's it was easy, as they had speed graffics, which had this movement built in, unlike your Nikon, which needs a 19/24/85 mm Tilt-shift lens to do this!!
