发帖数: 2436 | 3 Nice work! Can you tell me details how it is set up? This is the first such
work I have seen closely. Is the lizard crawling horizontally or climbing
vertically? How do you make it extend all its fingers and toes so widely?
The lights helped to provide details in the texture, which is very nice. I
don't believe you PS-ed the background to make it black, right?

发帖数: 1754 | 5 The lizard is climbing vertically on a glass. I guess it spread its toes to
hold tight on there.
For this macro shot, I want to get every possible details, which translate
to aperture f/32 the smallest one available to my lens to maximize depth of
field. At such small aperture, I will need a flash for sure.
The upper photo, the flash is shooting though an umbrella, and I find I
would probably want harder shadow. So in the 2nd photo, it is direct flash
pointing to the lizard.
My camera is actually 90 degree to my light. At full flash power, I find
myself still under expose, so I pump up the iso as well. I am using a 5D3,
so I can pump up iso to 1600 if I want to.
The glass is purely transparent. Things outside of the glass does not catch
any light, so they are shown black. However, the glass is dirty, so in the
original photo there are quite a few dirt spot which I removed in photoshop.
I was sitting there for about 30 minutes, and took about 120 photos, moving
lights around, and even provided some grass, sprey with water, and those don
't come out as good. When the lizard close its eye, I will make some gentle
noise and it will open its eyes.
This whole shooting is fun and you have to be patient. | i***f

发帖数: 1754 | 8 A few more, not as clean as the above two, but you will see the lizard
actually changed color.

发帖数: 2436 | 10 Thanks for sharing. It is interesting at many levels.
First this shows one way to achieve pure black background. Many people do
not know you can reflect away all lights using a glass or even mirror, and
combine it with a strobe you can achieve black.
Second, this shows hard lights can provide more feeling of texture. For
other effects, have you tried (1) mount the flash toward your lens to allow
the light through the glass? Sort of getting a silhouette of the creature. (
2) mount main light from the bottom and facing up
Third, I think it is usually hard for the bug/animal to cooperate to fully
extend themselves.
Finally, I think it is worth trying to have a reflector or a piece of white
paper placed opposite of the main flash. This may show more details in the
dark side as well.

发帖数: 1754 | 11 This lizard is actually pretty at stay still.
This one shows even at f/32, depth of field is still very shallow.
