Nick - good work for your first time. Did you want some CC?

Thanks dude! And yeah, why not Sidd - some CC would be much appreciated. There's a chance I *might* work with the jeweller again in the future. (Check out MinkyGrant.com)

I didn't have much in the way of lighting, unfortunately. An overhead skylight, on-camera external flash used to trigger an off-camera flash, and some use of down-lights later on as the sun started to fade, IIRC. Would have been nice to have access to continuous lights, but I don't have the money to buy them (and I doubt I could justify buying them even if I did have the money), and wasn't sure where to hire them from either around me or in the area around jeweller's house.

The jewerly itself looks great, but I feel to showcase this you might have to take a full body shot rather than head shots (or take a step back). To me the main focus in these pics are her head. I first see the eyes than the item she is wearing.

Also all three pictures have different white balance. If its for a website you need to keep it consistent.

In regards to lighting, maybe hire a few flashes. You can get cheap softboxes for speedlights easily on ebay.

If you want to make it look natural maybe set up two flashes behind you and point it straight up or angle it backwards instead of direct flash on subject.

Hope this helps.

Sidd.

Thanks Sidd.

Re: the headshots, I asked what the "client" wanted and she said that she wanted to make the shots more personal instead of just the product by itself. If she gives me more work, then I'll definitely consider and suggest the full body shot, and maybe take photos in her backyard. The house she lives in is really nice, so maybe those shots with a shallow DoF would work, especially since the products are all made of rare pieces of timber and jewels.

I've already got two flashes, but might consider some softboxes soon if I can justify the cost by getting some paid work or sell some shots or whatever. And yeah, I did have the flashes pointing up and back to bounce off the ceiling - maybe I shouldn't have moved them between shots...

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
