Seven and I were listening to some old Bowie when I thought I'd take a snap of the Tom K HQ driving seat and in particular our new kompoota! That'll little Chromebox makes a great posing platform for the little guys!  lol!

This desk also rapidly converts into Tom K HQ Photographic Studios, the mastering of using limited space is an art form in itself!

A very well laid out, multi-use work area!

I see you have Flocktastic's business card front and centre...funny I'd have thought you have him on speed-dial! lol!

He almost is Steve! But, I am sure he just finds me irritating! If you think this is tidy, then you'd want to see my work desk, when I leave work that desk looks as if nobody ever used it! Oh! Maybe that's because I haven't either!

lol!

...definitely bijou!

...that is a VAM Russian jacket waiting for restore. The epaulets are shot and there are buttons missing, but I think the grime will wash out and it'll turn out quite usable. I have considered dying it too... Very Happy

PostSubject: Photography Studio Setup   Tom K HQ Command Centre Icon_minitimeWed Feb 11, 2015 6:55 pm

So, here is Tom K HQ's 'bijou' Command Centre converted into Tom K HQ Photographic Studios. First a distance shot so you can see the lighting setup and then the close up shot I took of Diesel in woodland camo... Very Happy

The camera is on a tripod. I use zoom to do the close up!

The missus has permanently lent me a soft box continuous light and a reflector... Razz

Apart from the resizing for AMMO and FB, this is a completely unedited photograph straight out of the camera... Cool

This is with a little Cross Process effect, I love the way it deepens and enriches the colours... Very Happy

affraid Sure that's bright enough Ralph??

Those blue marks on Diesel's face aren't from leaking plasticiser, they're radiation burns from that arc-light!! lol!

That's an amazing set-up, as shown by the quality of the pics you produce!

Top work!

Lol! The light in that box is a huge helix low energy bulb, so not so hot, even though it's like bringing the sun indoors... sunny

Having the lighting and reflector has made the whole process of taking photos a lot less hit and miss and great for colour, but I will do some more grainy monochrome some time soon as well... What a Face

Glad you like them and Diesel is so photogenic he makes VAM snaps easy!
