Your mood with coffee, your creativity, your simplifying.
Conclusion: You are the best, keep going :)
Thanks! 😃
Artificial intelligence will never replace the artist's eye. Another elegant composition! You are a master.
Thanks Daniel!
Actually just bought that exact tripod this week, that center column is great. For anyone interested, all the Manfrotto's with XPRO in their name have the column that can go horizontal. They're great value second hand.
Big thanks for the tip! I still use mine on location.
I've missed your tutorials so much!! 😆
More to come! 😁
It's amazing..every pictures you take are BEAUTIFUL..your're a wizard! 🧙♂️ Thank you as always 😍👍🏻
Sooo kind! hanks a lot!!
Those wallmounts for your profoto modifiers look really nice with everything organized on the wall!
Thanks man, I really love them... and hate them at the same time. Not possible to mount in the ceiling... modifiers will fall down 😤 I guess that's why they are called WALL mounts...
@@botvidsson haha i suppose so! 😂 . Oh Hey! Whats the model of that manfrotto tripod that has the shifting middle column? Looks really handy!
@@houstondragna7423 I have all my gear in my Amazon shop, link under the video: www.amazon.com/shop/botvidsson
The one I have doesn't exist anymore but I think this is the new model: www.amazon.com/dp/B07981W246?ref=exp_botvidsson_dp_vv_d
Hello Martin, Thanks for coming Back to us with another great tutorial. Perfect as always.✨

Great suggestion! I really should, maybe maybe...

You are very welcome!
awesome as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is a nice break from multiple flash setups and being creative with available light. I do get over complicated and spend too long procrastinating on approaches at times. Also I have been struggling on direction for product photogaphy as enjoy the challenge of shooting many types of products I like the variety but i wonder if it really is better to pick one area and focus only on that as I would find it hard to pick one - do you have any wisdom or thoughts you would share on this - you seem to have a varied range of products you work with.
I know what you mean. For the channel I shoot anything but I think you should focus on a tighter niche. Become really good at it and create your own style. Be bold and crazy but with amazing light and shadows.
@@botvidsson Thanks so much for your feedback it means a lot - I need to figure out a niche I can enjoy and focus on going forward.
magnificent result
Simple but effective. Thanks!
Amazing video. Thank you. More tutorials please!
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome! Perfectly shows what a bit of imagination can create :)
Thank you! Cheers!
FANTASTIC....
Many thanks!

Mikado game+camera=wonderful shots!
HA! 😁 Yes, in Sweden we call it: Plockepinn
you know something Martin, I love photography, but seeing your tutorials with your style of fun and humor mirrors back and makes me love photography even more. thank you a lot for such hard and nice work. "especially the disappearing part at the end lol!! ". :)
Thanks Basem! Makes me glad to hear.
At the start, you always have a black/white frame :) The rest is creativity. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Kris! I'm trying 😁
Ellie D Lights. hehehe.
Hehe, that's correct
Excellent one as always
Thank you! Cheers!
actually i came this channel to learn, but i get rest with learning:D thank you for your every moment you spend for us..
So nice of you
Why do small objects such as watches, only look sharp when you go above f20, where you can even get ears and hair sharp with portraits when you
focus on the face?
Small objects you focus on the watch, and the strap is out of focus even at f15.
But with a model, you focus on the eye at f9 and even eats and hairs are sharper than the strap of the watch does.
What's the explanation for this?
The closer you are to your subject, the more shallow your depth of field will be. The farther away your subject is, the larger and more pronounced your depth of field is. It's due to the optics of the glass and how light enters and bounces around within the lens. To counter this issue, focus stacking is required for watch shots or any macro shot where your subject has depth.
@@AndyMoranPhoto I've encountered this probly with FTZ adapter on Z6 and I thought it may be due to adapter since it already has focusing problems.
What @Andy says. Closer you are shorter DOF, same for all cameras/lenses
@@AndyMoranPhoto thank you Andy. by being closer to the subject, do you mean the distance between camera (lens) and subject, or zooming in from a long distance is also considered getting close?
- Is focus stacking the only solution to this?
- Is there a specific macro lens that was made for this? Where you focus on your small subject and around f9-f10 everything us sharp? Such as a wristband or watch?
@@artlover4120 look up tilt shift lenses, they help in some situations.
Physical distance matters the most rather than zoom
I always wonder, why your difusion cards have thick black border? Any reason for that?
The only reason is that I need a frame to stick the diffusion on. The best way would be NOT to have any frame at all... well, sometimes it can be good with a black frame but most of the time I would prefer a clean diffusion "plate" to avoid any dark reflections.
Is the white balance option also available in Adobe Photoshop?
Yes if you open the photo in camera raw filter. You find it under the filter menu
@@botvidsson Thanks a lot!
Great video! Thank you. May I ask what the white reflector you used was? Is it a piece of foam core? I like how it can stand up on its own, easier than cards with clamps.
You mean the big fat one? It's an IKEA shelf called LACK. Thanks!
@@botvidsson genial, merci!
@@nakleh it’s like €5
@@botvidsson I just ordered 2 black and 2 white! Thank you so much, sorry to bother you with the question, I see you explained it in the previous video of the perfume bottle. You are the BEST.
No problem.
why straw shadow is very smooth, it looks amazing! can you tell me
Thanks! It's because the light source is very very big. I bounce light up in the ceiling.
As usual dope content ! Do you have the exact name of the tripod ? Or link URL ?
I have an Amazon"shop" link in the description to all my gear, the big one: www.amazon.com/dp/B001A1TMQQ?ref=exp_botvidsson_dp_vv_d
If you mean the small one I showed I think it's discontinued but there are new once with folding center columns.
@@botvidsson yes I was talking about the small one. The one that you’ve used for the demonstration. Didn’t find it on your Amazon shop by the way
The one I use in the video you should find if you click the link above. I showed a smaller one in the video so the BIG one is the one I use.
You follow your "gut", not your "stomach", Martin...but it doesn't really matter. If you say "intuition" then some student from Thailand won't be perplexed momentarily. Mind you, in Thailand they also have their strange ways with gastrointestinal connotations. For instance if a man wants to compliment a woman on how nicely she looks, he may say: "What did you eat today that you look so good?"
Haha, yes I know. Sometimes I like to throw in some Swenglish for the Swedish viewers. Thanks!
Hi, may I know why you wouldn't just use the white table for the shoot but use the Ikea board instead?
Hehe. Good question. It’s because the IKEA table top is matte. Less reflections...
@@botvidsson Thanks!!
very good tks ;)
Thank you too!
skulle du vänligen rekommendera någon fri programvara som liknar att fånga en eftersom jag är en nybörjare stock fotograf och jag har inte mycket budget för det.
Depends on what camera you have and how up-to-date it is. Canon, Sony and Nikon have their own free tethered capture software.
OMG , its so awesome
i always practice with ur video , thank you
You're welcome 😊
jag är ledsen, jag är inte svensk. Jag försökte bara översätta
Great!! 😁
Well, this type of lighting I've been using for many years, it's nothing new, the only thing I can suggest is that in the lighting of your videos be more careful, your hat looks like a black spot on your head, greetings
Thanks for your comment, if was probably very very helpful for mankind...
