That you very much for the great tutorial. This is why I follow you on youtube my friend. Your lessons are a superb. I have learned so much that I must say THANK YOU VERy, VERY MUCH Martin.
I want to fly to Sweden with my goods for a photo shoot. How awesome would that be to get an invite to the Botvidssen studio? Coffee and cameras, I’d get lost in there.
Really like your videos! A lot of how-to videos only show what works. You explain step by step and how you assess each shot/what corrections to make. Very helpful!
I've gotten some great tips from your videos even though I've been shooting for 35 years. Never stop learning. Although I'm not a fan of the jump cuts, I keep coming back because the content is solid.
Thanks. Great to hear. I’m also still learning every day, it never stops. I know the jump cuts can be tuff but I have no choice. Can’t make 2-6h video tutorials. 😁
I guess for those of us that have silver C stands, wrapping a bit of Cinefoil around the boom arm would be effective. And it's a lot cheaper than getting a whole new stand - not that there's anything wrong with having a nice big collection of stands ; )
Another great video. So much info in a easy to comprehend way, even for those of us that barely speek Swenglish. I realy apreciate the fact that you do these in a language not native to yourself just for me !! LOL.
Hi, great video as usual! ;) Can you tell what lens are you using that you don't have to make focus stacking? I usually use 100 mm and for object this size I'd probably do stacking.
The problem with composite shots like this is that it will be more complicated to do focus stacking. Not impossible but very time consuming. You have to stack every shot, and also place the flash on a stand. I always shoot with the 100mm macro lens, the reason I use the 24-70mm in this video is that I want to fit the camera in the video frame, not to have it too far away.
Very nice lighting, if im being picky it would have been nice to focus stack the microphone grill as it gets noticeably softer at the tip of the microphone since its taken so close and has so much depth.
Yes all shots should be stacked but then we had to put the strobe on a lightstand and then a lot of post work... you know, this videos are more so people can get a it inspired.
@@botvidsson Watching it now. Even at the fast clip it's totally easy to see what you're doing. Simple compositing and masking for the most part. That's perfect. Thanks, Martin!
Hi, I have a question. I use Capture one for live view, i have a nikon d610, is there a way to use an external shutter when I connect a camera to a computer? At the moment I can only take a picture if I click into capture that photo button, I can not click either on the camera or on the external shutter. This is very frustrating and hard because I use a speedlight and I use it from my hand because my stand is used for other things.
Sorry to hear that, I do not know Nikon cameras unfortunately. I do know that on my Canon I sometimes need to hit the live view button twice to be able to trigger. Sorry I can't help better.
botvidsson ja det har de om jag inte miss minner mig. Själv har jag: Tamron 24-70mm G2, Tamron 70-200mm G2, Nikon 35mm. Vilka av dessa tycker du? Har mindre utrymme att använda då jag står i köket.
@@RobinNero "Har mindre utrymme att använda" Hur menar du? Vilket av dessa objektiv som du har minst användning av i köket? Förmodligen 70-200, kanske även 35mm. Den bästa tycker jag, helt klart, är 24-70mm. Den kör jag med i denna video.
Jag har aldrig fotat med blixt (en riktig blixt) och använder mest lampor för att lysa upp det jag fotar. Hur kontrollerar du vart blixten hamnar? Hur skapar du reflektioner på vissa sidor och objekt? Spontant känns det som att blixen skulle slå överallt och lysa på allt.
Anledningen att den inte slår överallt är den ljusmodifieraren jag sätter på blixten, en sk reflektor med en sk honey comb grid. Då blir ljuskällan extremt liten och man kan fokusera på små detaljer.
botvidsson är som magi. Funderar på om jag ska investera i en blixt, reflektor och honeycomb grid. Fotar en del mat idag men med Continuous Light, vilket fungerar men ger mig inte riktigt den effekten som jag vill ha.
Det finns en video där jag fotar en Marshall speaker med bara en liten LED panel, och sen sätter ihop bilderna i Photoshop. Finns även en Nike-sko (Rosa) som jag fotar med en LED-ficklampa. De ligger under playlist Tutorials with botvidsson
botvidsson so i’m trapped at home with just some minimum equipment and i was thinkin’ to have some fun with product photography. I have a few nice perfume bottles around like a narciso rodriguez pink bottle, a small black bottle of tom ford, maybe some creme recipients, some cosmetics.i guess none really transparent
It can be a bit tricky to use only one light for shooting advanced perfume bottles. If I had only one light and had to shoot a perfume bottle I would place some kind of diffusion paper behind the bottle (if it's transparent) and lit up the diffusion from behind. Classic and beautiful, then maybe play with the surface, water?
Nice video, only observation I noticed is that you guys forgot the S in the name of the brand, because the client would probably notice that right away.
We actually did record an episode where we shot a bass guitar but I (we) felt that the end result was not good enough so it will unfortunately never be posted on youtube. I do many recordings that never hit the youtube channel, crazy but true 🤨
In this video I invited my favourite subscriber STEFAN and we are doing a composite shot of a microphone.
Det säger du inte...
Patience. Lots and lots of patience, and of course, attention to detail, self belief and coffee. Another excellent tutorial.
Very wise words. Very true. Thanks man!
The banter and singing are easily worth a second thumbs up.
😄 thanks a lot!
As always a great video well narrated and I loved that you showed how even with one flash and some imagination you can still create amazing images 👍👍
HUGE thanks man!
That you very much for the great tutorial. This is why I follow you on youtube my friend. Your lessons are a superb. I have learned so much that I must say THANK YOU VERy, VERY MUCH Martin.
You are very welcome, really happy to hear that you learn a bit.
Oh WOW. I am excited! I love your videos! :-) I really learned a lot through your content here!
Really happy to hear that! See you soon!
Very good, thanks again for the video.
Thanks Gustavo!
This is gonna be great. Lets everybody buy Botvidsson a cup of coffee.
THANKS MATS!!!
So awesome to see you again! And it`s so nice that i can speak on rusglish when you speak swenglish and we understand each other)
Yes, that's great man! 🤣 Rusglish!

You're very welcome Tammy. Bring some fun goods and let's shoot.
Really like your videos! A lot of how-to videos only show what works. You explain step by step and how you assess each shot/what corrections to make. Very helpful!
That's my philosophy with this channel, to squeeze in as much as possible in 15 minutes :) Thanks a lot for the kind words.
Black c-stands are made by Kupo and also (much cheaper, but also good) bij Neewer. They can be bought on Amazon.
Aha, great! Why did I then buy 8 expensive Avenger I'm asking myself... 😤
They also have a matt black aluminium boomarm, that might help also.
Great idea! @@johnspijkers7368

You are correct. This is why it is a good idea to purchase black stands, boom arms, etc.
That's a good tip, some black wrap. Problem solved!

I like it every tutorial especially glossy product; I think I got all about light
Fantastic!
Coffee purchased! Keep up the great videos!
Huge thanks for the very generous cup of coffee. Inspires me to do more videos. Thanks again!
As always, Amazing and fun :D Come to México! lets make a workshop!
For real, let's do it! I'm in!
As always chilled out great content .
Thanks!!

Love it Love you continue !!
Great to hear!
When is your next video? I love them!!!
Thanks. Well, right now I’m over loaded with photo work so the channel have to wait a bit. But I will be back strong soon. 😎
Your content is awesome ! Its horrible that you have small count of subs :( I would love to see beer bottle tutorial ! Grettings from Poland
I'm working on it! Thanks!
Glad you’re back 😬
👽
Great trick!! . waiting for your next video
Hold on, it will come! Thanks!
Another nice one!! Which lens did you use for this? Thanks!
It's the zoom lens 24-70/2.8 Canon. Thanks!
When are you coming to Peru ?, to invite you many cups of coffee, while we take some pictures... We have good coffee.
Yes, when I got enough cups of coffee, THEN I will come to Peru. 😆
Very nice lighting, if im being picky it would have been nice to focus stack the microphone grill as it gets noticeably softer at the tip of the microphone since its taken so close and has so much depth.

@@botvidsson Understood, at what aperture do you focus stack?
@@waawaaweewaa2045 at lens sweet spot when it comes to sharpness, but I often go up a bit to maybe f8. On my Hasselblad macro lens f13-f16
@@botvidsson thanks
Any chance you filmed the post-processing? The final result was extraordinary, and it would be cool to see how you stitched all the images.
I did a speed retouching video, not the best but maybe something... ua-cam.com/video/I5xewBmlq54/v-deo.html

amazing videos, well done
Thanks Mario, glad you like them!
Black coffee, please!
Educational and fun as always!
Thanks man! Coffee with a bit of milk is more healthy I think I heard someone say... somewhere... maybe... 😎
@@botvidsson Maybe! 😜
this guy is so chill :D love your vids, but also would be interested how you did the PS work.
I have a speed-retouching video about that: ua-cam.com/video/I5xewBmlq54/v-deo.html

May I know what camera tripod do you use? thx
Hello, I use the Manfrotto 058B Aluminum Triaut Tripod with the ArcaSwiss Cube head / C1
thx for the awnser mate!
Oh man, what a tease. See ya in 4 hours. Lol.
Hehe.. I know. See ya soon!
2:30 I paused video to add comment about.... Where is the coffee! You win this time!
😁☕️
I always waiting for your video, you are coffee man 😋😅😊😊
That's very nice to hear. Thanks for the support!
Väldigt givande video - att se hur man med ett ljus kan vandra runt motivet istället för att rikta flera olika ljus samtidigt!
Visst är det coolt!
Bra objektiv till Produktfotografering? Använder Nikon D500
Jag tycker alltid att makro-objektivet är bäst. Nikon har väl sitt 105mm?
botvidsson ja det har de om jag inte miss minner mig. Själv har jag: Tamron 24-70mm G2, Tamron 70-200mm G2, Nikon 35mm. Vilka av dessa tycker du? Har mindre utrymme att använda då jag står i köket.

Was your mic clean already from dust or do you work in a clean room?
I keep this mic in a Pelican case so it was kind of clean, no cleaning and I do not work in a "clean" room.
@@botvidsson admit it you have BSL 4 lab in your basement
Amazing
😎 Thanks!
Yeah !!!
😀
so do you think it is possible to get away with one light shooting transparent products?
Depends a bit what product it is I guess, what are you shooting?

Where is the logo? :)
I did not want to put a logo on this kind of ruff and super quick shot photo 😎
Or do you mean the logo on the microphone?
@@botvidsson yeah
I don’t have a flash, so I use long-exposure light painting with a flashlight!
That's a great way, check out the tutorial I made on that topic, it's a pink Nike shoe in the thumbnail :)
Nice video, only observation I noticed is that you guys forgot the S in the name of the brand, because the client would probably notice that right away.
Sure, thanks
Please shoot a bass guitar!!!! That sounds very cool.
We actually did record an episode where we shot a bass guitar but I (we) felt that the end result was not good enough so it will unfortunately never be posted on youtube.
I do many recordings that never hit the youtube channel, crazy but true 🤨
We might try to re-record the bass guitar shoot again...
@@botvidsson Ah, too bad. Yeah, it's probably tough because it's so glossy and the curves can be tricky. Finding a good angle might be tough as well.
you make me want a Hasselblad so bad
😁
Ungefär som när man var liten och klockan segade sig fram emot "kom nurå!"
hehe! 🤣
Och tack för kaffet! Som vanligt!!!
His name is the same where I am from as well - South Africa (Stefan)
Aah! 😁 Great!
These are all great but it takes sooo much time to do. nevertheless I enjoy your tutorials
You only need to put in your 10K hours and then you will do a photo shoot in 1 day instead of 1 week. 😉 Thanks!
👍
👍🏻
Wow, great content. Thx so much.
Thanks a lot Andreas!
