Digital Classroom May 13 2020

/in , /by

Because of some unknown technical issues, the episode starter later and could not cover all topics.

Frank Doorhof’s Digital Classroom is sponsored by BenQ & Rogue. This episode is supported by Tether Tools NL

Frank has been a Tether Tools ambassador since they introduced the high visible orange cables together with the famous JerkStopper! The advantage of tethered shooting is the bigger screen to check focus and composition, easier to see for clients, but also back-up when you shoot.

Nowadays Tether Tools offers over 400 products to make the life of a photographer or filmer easier. Recently they introduced the Air Direct, wireless shooting for every camera. And their own tethering software Smart Shooter 4.

This is a live, interactive, free, online broadcast from our studio in Emmeloord. And this episode is about:

Product photography

Because we can’t still shoot with models and our dog is too young to model, we chose a few products to take pictures of. These are not regular “webshop” photo’s but really pictures you can use to hang on your wall. Franks favourite items are miniature figures from old movies. And they are very loyal and good at not moving. So, will it be easy to shoot them?

Find out in this episode how to make great product shots.

Do you need a tripod for your camera and what are the camera settings? And what about lighting? Will Frank use different light or the same as when he shoots models? How to make the background black? Or white? Talking about white, how do you get all colours right if you shoot for a webshop. Nothing is more annoying when ordering clothes and the colours don’t match the picture. What about composition or angle and finally what about the reflection of your item.

Of course, Frank will also show you how he retouches these images.

We really love if you can interact on YouTube and Facebook. We’ll answer your questions or remarks immediately.

You can talk to Frank & the crew LIVE in the chat on YouTube or Facebook.
Join us in this 2-hour free, live, online interactive show on Wednesday, May 13 3PM CET

Review Nanlite Pavotube II 6C

/in , /by

In todays episode we take a look at the brand new Nanlite Pavotube II 6C.

Total lightcontrol boosts creativity.
Now imagine being able to be able to also have total control on the colortemperature (it can even fine tune the whitepoint) and being able to change the color of the light to almost any color in the spectrum with very small increments….

Add to this special options for filmmakers like a police car, bad bulb, disco, storm, TV set and a lot more and you know why I could not wait to test out these super cool ledtubes.

In this video I walk you through the options and we do three different product setups including an explanation about the lighting setups and of course the end results.

With the Pavotube II 6C Nanlite delivers a super creative long running led tube that will fit in almost any situation due to the many creative mounting solutions, high lightoutput and long battery life.

Add to this firmware upgrades and charging via USB-C and you can imagine why I’m over the moon with these small ledtubes

Ibanez Prestige 1570 with irongear pups

/in , /by

In todays episode it’s not about photography.
During this whole crisis we’ve decided to also sometimes upload a bit more about other things….. like guitars.

In todays episode we take an awesome Ibanez Prestige 1570 and replace the pickups for relatively very cheap IronGear pickups.

The only difference, they are not cheap because they are bad, they are manufactured by a small company and sold directly mostly, meaning a very low price when compared to the “big” brands.

Now of course this is not a Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan vs Irongear, but how much difference does it make in a not so bad Ibanez Prestige, which let’s be honest is not a cheap or step in guitar, in fact it’s a pretty high-end guitar.

Imagine what happens when you put these in a Squier or other cheaper end guitar……..
