    I realy like your clear and straight forward videos and I learn a lot from
    them. But Im just an amateur shooter with some basic kit. And here I see
    someone that is shooting with 6 clamplamps in a compelte studio
    enviroment…. How on earth am I going to copy that, or create some what of
    the same result as a amateur in a normal house?

    Hi, do you know “Photo SFXart Tricks” (just google it)? On their website
    you will find a nice free video showing how to create fantastic pictures.
    This helped Matt to create photographs that have a wow-effect whenever you
    look at them. Perhaps it will help you out as well…

    Do you really think using AF in this case would be a good idea? To make the
    shot ‘you’ want, at the ‘time’ you want, you ‘d better use manual focus.
    That way the camera does not lose any time when you press the shutter
    release button… keep that in mind for ‘all’ your fast action shots
    (including sports).

    hmm, you would probably need an external flash which you can trigger by
    hand during the long exposure. use black cards to prevent the light from
    flash spilling on other areas.

    Where did you focus to have sharp images of bubbles?

    I’ve suggested your lessons to all my friends! You are very inspiring and
    I’ve found your tips very helpful and most times “illuminating”. You’re

    Again, HOW STUPID IS HE??? You’ll get the liquid on your camera like that!
    Hello! And who photographs just bubbles, really? This won’t work with a
    model.

    Robert, In this example how did you focus the lens, and what focal length
    did you use?

    You can do this with any camera where you can adjust the ISO, aperture and
    shutter speed. That’s every DSLR (you have a DSLR). The lens is up to you,
    it depends on the effect/look you want. In this example the subject and
    camera were close so a lens with a short range was used (22mm). Short range
    lenses are wide-angle and those have certain limitations/advantages over
    telephoto, and vice-versa. There are other lenses with their own
    limitations/advantages too. Be creative!

    @plastereruk you are absolutely right, it does alter exposure by 1/3 of a
    stop. but it didn’t really have a negative effect. that’s what i meant.
    thanks for your feedback. if you try this tutorial you can post your shot
    on our site
