Glass Lighting 11/11/09

Different lighting was set up to test what effects this had on a glass bottle of aftershave. The bottle was placed on white perspex.

The camera settings we used were: ISO 400, Manual Focus, AV exposure, white balance - Daylight and set it to the lowest aperture which was F5.6.

Set 1

We used soft box lighting from the left side which caused a shadow.

Shutter speed - 1/125

Shutter speed - 1/200

Set 2

We used a soft box behind the perspex for backlight which created lots of dark shadows.

Shutter speed - 1/400

Set 3

We used backlight and bottom light with two soft boxes. This took away the shadows that were in Set 2.

Shutter speed - 1/1600

Shutter speed - 1/2000

Set 4

Bottom light only

Shutter speed 1/1000

Shutter speed 1/1600

Set 5

Bottom light and top light (slanted)

By taking the shot at different angles the writing becomes visible on the first one and white but is dark on the second shot and isn't easy to make out.

Shutter speed - 1/500

Shutter speed - 1/1600

Set 6

2 side lights to make the bottle appear very clear.

Shutter speed - 1/400

Shutter speed - 1/125

Set 7

2 black books at the each side to block and concentrate the light. Bottom light (soft box) and a reflector at the top.

Shutter speed - 1/1200
