    cost 500$ a pop you dont need a expensive tripod but it needs to be

    In selecting your aperture, I think mid range values like 5.6 or there
    about might be too wide to enable the strong dept of field needed for
    captures of these kinds. With strong DOF, mistakes from slightly imperfect
    focusing can be easily resolved. In ensuring maximum resolution, nothing
    was said of image size choice setting on the camera before the shoot.
    Lastly, I think if we must export to Photoshop, we must make mention of the
    need to use some of the tools to enhance sharpness and lighting problems.

    What are the specific dimensions of the umbrellas you used and the wattage
    of the bulbs?

    I would really recommend that you leave out the background music with your
    video, it is extremely distracting and masks your voice. Prudish people
    might also complain about the picture of the naked woman standing against
    the wall on the left (the viewer’s left). It doesn’t bug me, but I would
    think that it might be a good idea to remove pictures and images that are
    not relevant to the video before starting the shoot (especially pictures
    like that).
    Apart from that, good, informative video

    Certainly will alleviate some head scratching for my shoot!

    This has been of great help! Thanks a bunch!

    thanks.

  14. Graciela Galvez says:

    or if you just tell us what camera you are using. thanks!

    I use a Canon 5D Mark II. What you should look for is a camera with
    removable lenses. That really should be the mark of a good camera. Nikon
    and Canon are both great brands. Those are really the top two brands for
    good cameras, followed by Sony. this is of course my opinion, like the Mac
    vs. PC argument. 🙂

  16. BlueXBlue2 says:

    Was the brighter side to the left of the picture due to using the polarized
    filter?

  17. rattlingtruck says:

    really good informative video. Thank you. question were you shooting in Raw
    or jpg and does that make a difference?

    This is an amazingly helpful demo – thank you for posting!!

  19. 80snostalgia80 says:

    Have you any advice as to the minimum recommended megapixels needed in a
    camera in order to have small prints made of artwork? For example around A4
    (30cm x 21 cm) pictures? Many thanks

    Very helpful. Would have been good to mention something about shutter speed
    for the beginners this is aimed at: 1) it can be slowed so you don’t need
    those high ISOs 2) if you’re using a slow shutter speed you can use the
    delay timer so the photo is taken after you’ve pressed the shutter, then
    you don’t get any blur from the camera moving when you press it.

  21. Bellevue Fine Art Repro says:

    Sorry. I actually just bought a new pic in hopes of making sound better on
    future how-to videos. I was reluctant to buy a nice one because they’re a
    couple hundred dollars…

  22. Bellevue Fine Art Repro says:

    The lighting is even with or without the polarizing filter. Any difference
    you saw was probably just the way we shot the video, as we’re not
    professional vidiographers.

    Sound quality made it difficult to listen to..

  24. Bellevue Fine Art Repro says:

    Always shoot in raw mode if you can. There are two reasons. First, with a
    Raw file you can always go back to your starting point. So if you edit the
    file and didn’t keep those edits as layers and you want to go back, a RAW
    file will always let you do that. The second reason is that a jpg file is
    by its very nature a compressed file. A jpg is in fact a compressed tif
    file, technically. We recommend starting in Raw, then saving out the jpg
    file when you’re finished.

    what are some camera features we should look for?
