In this video Mark Wallace walks us through the process of taking creative still life photos. Mark will demonstrate how to use an aquarium to capture engaging images of ordinary household items. From a strawberry to food coloring, watch as Mark provides step by step instructions for creating unique still life images.
can you use the d7000 in commander mode without having the on camera flash going off or only with the SU-800 speedlight commander? anyone who knows please answer, thanks!
LOL, We are talking apples and oranges.
If you want the cheapest product, regardless of quality, then Amazon is a better choice, but eBay stores can be better. Note: the “cheapo” brands like CowboyStudio and ePhoto sell on Amazon, eBay, etc, plus their own sites, which are cheaper than Amazon.
For a quality product like the Manfrotto 190XPRB Tripod I am buying for my brother right now, it is $136 at Amazon, and $99 after rebate, regularly $124, at B&H.
*36%* more at Amazon
Bounce your speedlight off colored foam core or construction paper. Way cheaper and more flexible than the (very expensive) Apollo Mark is using.
the food coloring technique reminds me of smoke photography by DigitalRev. So thaaaat’s how they do it
The strawberries were my favorite lol
Моя не понимать , вы делать субтитры, я радоваться
Thanks mahn!
Awesome tutorial! Sharing this… Keep on!
food coloring and flower shooting technique is amazing. One most technique
that I love is your dancing step. Your are awesome tutorial with good entertainer.
Thank you Mr Mark and say hello to Chelse and Michael
hey quick question, how much are the Apollo equipment worth? (the background one)
Just as a well intended humorous comment 😉 Would love to see a still video of all your polo shirts seen in all your video’s 😉
LOL. I only own 3 so it wouldn’t be much of a project. 🙂
1 – What if I only have a flash that come with my camera and I can’t have external flash?
2- How come we don’t see flash reflection on the glass?
hi there.i saw all your episodes and i improved my photography..but i have one question………… can u tell me the function of redeye……….. and how to setup………..in camera? i hav d90 nikon……………..
thanks
I like your moves! 🙂
Very nice video (+1)
Red-eye is caused when light is reflected from the inside of your eye, and you get the curious red effect. On most cameras, red eye mode attempts to fix this by firing a flash before taking the exposure. By firing a bright light quickly before taking the exposure, the eye closes up and there is less chance of light bouncing off the inside of your eye and coming back red when the shutter opens and the flash for the photo fires.
In answer to question 2. He’s shooting at a slight angle, so the light is not reflected back to the camera lens from the glass when using an on camera flash.
Thanks for another quality video Mark.Theres not many tutorials that explain things as well as you which is why I subscribed and keep watching and learning from you.Cheers buddy keep up the good work.
just wondering are your speedlites set to manual ?
1 has no camera
For fun, try a dark or even black background and instead of food coloring drip whole milk into the water. It gives some pretty spooky looking photos.
thanx for your explanation . is that possible to make an episode on red eye function how to avoid and how to setup in camera setting………….
awesome
Amazing :D
Pretty cool, Mark!
@ErnieCosmo LOL Nikon D7000, Macro lens, tripod, 3 x speed lights, Soft box, 3 x stands, fish tank and stand, an assistant. I would guess at £3000 🙂
I don’t know why any creative video has dislikes??
If the flash fires at full rate how come it didn’t blow everything out?
Can we just turn off all lighting in studio, and freeze motion with flash only, using slower shutter speeds?
I love the tips you give, and all the technics. Very informative. But Daaaaaamn you talk too much!!!!
For beautiful photography…check out my new video….just go on my channel…and you could also win a prize fund of £100
Great video… really informative.
you should never shoot through the side of an aquarium at an angle like that. it creates all sorts of aberrations. the front of the lens should be kept parallel to the glass. if you want to shoot up towards the surface of the water. tilt the aquarium forward.
how do you get the d7000 to high speed sync of 1200?
