lighting for digital

updated sat 4 oct 03

 

Kathie Wheater on mon 22 sep 03


Hi out there,
All this talk about digital has me wondering the fate of our slides.
While there is certainly no need to rush out and panic purchase,
I still got to thinking about the future of jury process. What is the
general consensus on when shows will start requesting digital images
instead of slides. I've already had a local show request digital images.
Now granted the situation was atypical in that I am an area artist and
potter ( whoa why did I seperate THAT) who wanted to sneak in after
the deadline. Just so happens that there aren't to many of us potters
selling our wares in the open air fine art shows in this area.
My other question was, what kind of lighting do you use for digital pix
for web use. With slides I use and was told to use tungsten bulbs, that
gallery owners and jurists wouldn't look at a daylight/warm light slides
they'ld pass it over. The tungsten light is very blue almost harshly cold in
my mind whereas mixing a warm(pink) and a cool(blue) flourescent or even
a halogen bulb (closest approximation to sunlight) is still Verboten.I got this
bit of info at a workshop given by a photographer who was a friend of a student
at the local community college. I wonder about the veracity of this because
the slides that were taken were terribly overexposed. I was told it was the
processing. Yes these are two different issues but it still makes me wonder
how good this information was.

Any thoughts on this?

As Always,
Thank you for your input!

happy 1st day of autumn!!!

I was wondering about lighting for digital pix, too.  I have shot slides with tungsten lamps and tungsten film with excellent results.  But I am slowly (_very_  slowly) trying to nudge myself towards digital. (As another artist commented to me recently, the whole self-promotion thing is getting to be so unfun, she's thinking of just giving it up). 

 

So if I get a digital camera, what kind of lights should I use to get a similar result to the old tungsten lamps/tungsten film combination?

Our Olympus has a setting for tungsten lights so I'm going to say most
other cameras do too. So I say you need not change anything unless you
which to go to day light bulbs (blue bulbs). We made the switch to day
light bulb to use day light film for 35mm slide but probably will go back
to tungsten. I personally have liked the results from tungsten bulbs and
film better and will just set the digital for tungsten too.

Martha,

You can use ANY lighting that suites you with digital. You only need to =
adjust your lighting settings on your digital camera to match. The =
beauty of digital. I, in fact, use tungsten. I also use regular light =
bulbs for my smaller copy stand. I have also used blue daylight bulbs. =
Just about anything will work--but you will need to change settings and =
try lighting out to find out what setting on your camera jives with the =
lighting best. The trick is to not have to do any tweaking in Photoshop =
or similar program--you can tweak the camera to that you do shoot =
accurate color the first time (in most cases) to save on post shooting =
editing time.


Thank you.

Hi Martha,

My wife and I have been very pleased with the Canon A70 digital
camera, which we purchased a few months ago.

It has lighting mode settings for Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent
H, Daylight, Cloudy, Manual or automatic. As you change the settings,
the preview on the LCD screen changes to show you what it will look
like approximately. I say approximately, because when you open the
image on your computer monitor it may look slightly different,
depending on your monitor settings.

This camera is 3.2 megapixels, which means it has sufficient
resolution to make good looking 8" x 10" prints, yet it can also
shoot video with sound that rivals some video cameras. All this for
less than $300!

Happy shooting,

You can use the same lights. Your main problem is going to be to find a
camera that lets you control the exposure or arpature or preferably an
option to control both.

It also has to allow you to play with the White Balance, Saturation and
contrast. I found that on my Olympus C4000z, the default settings were set
WAY too high. I set the contrast and saturation to their lowest limits and
they are just about right.

Also make sure you have a nice range of arpature and exposure settings. It
wasn't until I got my camera that I discovered that it doesn't stop down
enough and my photos are WAY over exposed. Nor could I increase the shutter
speed enough to compensate. Sigh, I'm already looking at the C5050 as a
possible alternative.

However, my strobes have modeling lights which with the right settings on
the camera give pretty good photographs. See the top photo on
http://users.skynet.be/russel.fouts/clayart.htm

For these features, you will probably have to spend over $300.

If you're using studio flash like me, you need a synch socket, rare in a
camera below $500.

Kathie: I hope someone with more experience answers, but here is my input since
you ask:
As an experienced slide taker, I have been using tungsten lighting for
yrs., and
switched the floodlamp when using print film to a daylight bulb.
Then I bought a new digital camera, which has a way to change the daylight
setting
to incandescent. By mistake, with all the new tricks to learn, on some
exposures, I forgot to set the incandescent. The teapot (in this case) which
had a golden glaze with iron slip showing through was very yellow as was my
gray backdrop. So I prefer the bluer, colder result when I (now usually)
remember
to set the symbol for incandescent light.
As for websites, I am not that far. For the two guest websites in my
signature file, I
sent slides.
However, and this is a big however, two local shows asked me for digital
pics and
used my images, one on the mailer and the other in a newspaper ad.
A whole different subject on the same theme:
I was contacted by Lark books asking me if I had any work to submit to juror
Leslie Ferrin for a new book on figures in clay. I had only one on slides,
it has my lichen
glaze which people tell me is my signature. Then I took a digital of
a wallhung torso,
sawdust fired, quite abstract, because I had just finished a 36 exp. roll of
slide film and did not want to expose another roll for one item.
The caller from Lark sent me directions. They will accept digital if it is
highest
possible resolution that yields a 300 DPI printed image. Camera must be set
at high
resolution and low compression.
One needs to make a disk and a print.
Forget it, Larks. I have been doing o.k. with slides, but feel this
language is way
over my head and needs. I am still trying to learn, but do I really need to
put on
a space suit and explore the moon??

I have recently started experimenting with my digital camera. I have been shooting outdoors with a black to white graduated background.
I set the White Balance on my digital camera with a white board and then click the picture without a flash. I do this with different exposure settings on my camera. I use a Canon S50 and I thinK the results are pretty good.
You can have a look a the some of the pictures at photos.yahoo.com/charans2000
Pitcher-1 and Pitcher-2 are taken this way. (You can actually see the reflection of the trees in Pitcher-2.... I need to figure out something for that..maybe dulling spray).
The other pictures are taken professionally by Tom Holt in his studio.

Your input on these pictures is appreciated.

Charan,
You need to use a levels command to make the pictures use more of the
value scale with your first couple of images
The scanned ones look like they have been "auto leveled". If you can
do this try doing it manually.
In photoshop bring up the levels window and move both of the side
triangles in until they meet the start of the histogram curve.
Most of your pots are framed well, but you should try to have more
space on top than bottom . Real objects need the look of gravity.
The lighting is a bit high for me. I would either move the source lower
or find a device that can reflect some of the light back up from
underneath. The tops of the pots are too over and undersides too under.

Charan,

sharpen or unsharp mask those that are blurry: otherwise, very good pics
all around.

bump your compression up 1 or 2 notches--interested buyers will wait the
extra second or two.

consider how the spout relates to the rest of the form: think of your
teapot or pitcher like a good story with an intro, beginning, middle and
end--how do the parts of the story related to each other? What contribution
does the middle make to supporting the end and flowing from the beginning.
Look at women's bodies--all (almost all) the information one needs to know
is there about form and flow.

fascinating use of a wood handle on the mug! what other possibilities are
there?

NICE casseroles! Makeith me hungry

Make sure your images are centered.

The malcom Davis glaze you are using will work better with earlier reduction
and more iron in your claybody. Try putting an iron wash under the shino
too.

I see you have visited Steven Hill, Nick Joerling, and a few others--very
good models to learn from! Keep it up.



Thank you.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
I like the way you explain the form of the teapot and that is so true. Most of this work of mine is 2-3 years old when I had just got started with pottery. Steven HIll and Nick Joerling are definetly inspirations to me. I wish I could attend a workshop of theirs. I had been trying to duplicate their form just by looking at pictures.
That happened to be a good exercise as further down the line I have developed my own style and now make teapots which are much different from the ones on the web page. They still look like women, but now they are talking..(well they seem to). Now that I can get some pictures taken myself I will be more up to date on my webpage.

Thanks again for your comments
Charan
