A lightbulb on top of an iPad (OC)

Thank you for your kind words.

If you want the full res image let me know and iI'll pop it on a file share for ya. (Also RAW file if that is of any use)

Sure. I used a lightbox with a blackout curtain (sound flasher than it really is; it's a cheap foldable plastic lightbox that has a few coloured inserts and led lights around the side and top. (I paid about 15€ for it). I put in the black felt insert as not to get any external reflections. You could do the same with a carboard box with the inside painted black). Placed the tablet inside (Was an iPad mini thing) and put some images on full brightness and full screen.

I used a Sony A7 iii camera with a Sony 90mm Macro lens on a tripod. As I wanted the bulb to fill the frame I was quite close to the subject and wanted everything in focus so stopped right down to F20, ISO 100 and exposed for the blacks which gave me an exposure time of 6 seconds. (I am sure the same kind of results could be achieved with a more open aperture and less exposure but I didn't have a whole lot of time.)

I increased the luminosity and saturation in lightroom and lowered the shadows to make it "pop". Then spent twenty minutes removing all the dust spots.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. Yes it’s mine.. I did several with different reflected images. Things I learnt - remove all dust and when you think you have removed all dust dust another 3 times. :-) It’s dead easy to do and a good project for a rainy day. This was my first go and will do some more soon.

I enjoy messing about with photography have some other plays I intend to post in the future such as water drops, splash, etc.

Thank you!

Many thanks LD and thanks for asking. Made me smile. Lol not too bad today.. Very beardy but pretty chilled for a Friday. Kids and wife call me grumps as every so often I need to go and hide in the virtual man cave in my head to sort myself out a bit. :-)

Never switched it on.. bought it specifically to experiment and try this out. :-)

Thought it was a stylized parrot in the thumbnail.

I understand completely but unfortunately the title “Philips eco glow e65 lit by laying on an iPad Pro 128gb taken with Godox lighting on a Sony A7 iiii with Sony G-Master 90mm and Sandisk extreme Pro sd card” seemed a bit overkill.

..you have mac in your username…

So you’d like it if it jIt said “lightbulb on tablet”?

Okay but what does that have to do with the picture?

Cool opinion bro 👌🏼

You think Steve Jobs himself posted this?

Good luck selling your product without branding.
