Light and Shadow Factory, Part 3: The Primary Lighting Synthesis of Shopping Carts

Writing some niche areas is helpless. As a senior photographer without a sister, you can't hook up with the photographers.

There is a lot of big coffee on this site. There are best-selling photographers. There are people like the gods. There is no shortage of yellow V. There are famous photography forum moderators. As the bottom chief, this article only provides a light synthesis. Ideas, as to whether the car is used F0 or Da Ben, the background is the villa or the garage, or the city background, see you like it.

This can be considered unintentional, it stems from my article "On self-cultivation of the shopping cart - Dongfeng Peugeot brand new 308 experience,"

On the self-cultivation of 乞丐 grocery shopping cart - Dongfeng Peugeot brand new 308 experience PSA Group's brand, in many third and fourth tier cities appealing, not as good as domestic, such as the professional shell replacement assembly plant Harvard Great Wall, not to mention two And Volkswagen General Ford.

Friends of good friends suggested that I should write a story about the shooting of shopping carts. After dragging on for half a year, I finally decided to finish the manuscript.

In fact, there are some things that are broken, and the pre-shooting is also true. It is composed of a number of small details. It is said that the lighting of the shopping cart, camera, tripod, mask synthesis, single lamp lighting, each link to spend Time, ps foundation and shooting light foundation can be completed.

When a normal factory shoots a car, there will be a huge shed. There are countless lights and soft lighting equipment. If necessary, the roof shot must be sawed off. We players naturally cannot have that ability. Next, with a tripod and post-composition, we can also shoot our own car cloth lighting.

Principle: Camera fixed position, single lamp with soft box to play different local details, post synthesis.

Is it familiar?

Suspended lighting is also the principle, but do not need to play lights, but prop-assisted posture, post synthesis to remove props.

The equipment you need are: SLR one, flash and flash with umbrella softbox, flasher + tripod each, the specific equipment can refer to my article: before and after taking pictures of those articles 5: how to shoot at low cost High quality photos? The old driver takes you to know the most complete soft light equipment

Before and after taking pictures of those matters 5: How to take high-quality photos at low cost? The old driver took you to know the most full-soft light equipment whispering some digression What is worth buying on the line of measuring electrical products is quite a lot, but unfortunately his frequent applications are often lost, similar to the original less, but also a troublesome thing, I It was also an inappropriate time to meet Zhang Aunt. The house was renovated and the appliances were bought. Even the laptops were changed. What to save you, my originality. Aunt Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's quite a lot, even ordinary users, many intentions to write an article is up to the level of V, I look back after the Green Shirt - Ruslan | Like 273 Comments 349 Favorites 1k View Details

The important props in this article are umbrella hot shoe softboxes.

Soft umbrella umbrellas are not recommended.

Then choose the background. This is the most painful place for me to write this original. Originally I was looking for industrial ruins. I didn't give it a place I knew before. The garage with a small number of cars is also very suitable for taking photos of the Blu-ray car. It's a pity. No.

Industrial ruins can completely ignore the cluttered background light and simply shoot light.

It was only outdoors, but it was to find a place where there was less people to be able to keep pace with the car, and it was still in the middle.

Finally found a broken road, in fact, the overall conditions are considered very dissatisfied, but there is no better choice, it is first to write a preliminary tutorial, after all, there is only a light, I was too lazy to home, and more A lamp workload is at least halved.

The lightmap is as follows:

The black light represents the only one, gray represents the position of this light randomly walks through the fill light, there is no fixed position, as long as it can illuminate the corresponding part, I also raised the lighthouse several times in the shooting, imitating the direction of the top light flash For example, if you want to add a light to the hood, ordinary angles cannot illuminate the area, but if you raise the lights to find a certain angle, it is not a problem. In the end of the car, I also made up a light to illuminate the interior.

From the shooting to the late period, the first motion picture is taken. In fact, the red body shooting is a headache, and the colors are prone to overflowing. You should pay more attention to the early and late periods.

It can be seen that I probably shot more than a dozen photos with different angles in the RAW format. After the synthesis, the tripod should be secure, the head should be locked, and the light should be multi-angled and shot, so there will be no local Being illuminated and unable to make up the situation, the late synthesis will also reduce the workload.

RAW format, do not particularly care about color temperature, we also consider the background environment lighting in the post-synthesis, shooting car body when I set the color temperature of 5500K, and the last set of ambient light I set the color temperature is about 3000K, these late RAW Can also be modified.

Import photos into the LR in batches, with simple batch adjustments, mainly color temperature and exposure, and corrections.

Normal flash color temperature is 5800k, probably because I am across the soft light cloth output, resulting in a change in color temperature, where I batch photo body color temperature of the body is uniformly adjusted to 5000K, for underexposed photos unified exposure, ambient light color temperature Try to adjust as close to the body as possible.

After the treatment, different parts of the photo are named to prevent the specific layers from being discerned in the later synthesis.

Before each compositing, lower the photo opacity, fine-tune the photo manually, and align the lower layer.

After aligning, change the opacity to 100% and add the mask.

The mask is simply to say that it is to add an editable interface to the layer. The masked world has only three colors: black, white and gray. Black represents no, white represents gray, and gray is between the two. If you bring a black mask, it means that the layer has not been modified. It is 100%. If you bring a white mask, then the layer does not exist. It is a layer with 100% transparency.

So here each layer is added with a black mask, and a white brush is used to smear the illuminated part with a certain softness. The white smear is where you want to appear.

When the brush is not perfect enough, it can be assisted with a pen tool, such as a raised line, a new selection, and a brush tool.

This situation is that the shooting is due to the fact that the angle of light is not adjusted properly. In other words, the soft-light box is too far away from the shooting and some corners are not taken care of.

In the end I probably used so many photos, which was half the number of Peugeot's 308 shots.

Now to strengthen the post-processing, first introduce NIK this plug-in: Efex pro, free, mainly for scenery retouching, I used to enhance the texture.

It is mainly used to extract the filter and tone contrast in detail. The range is on the ground and the other parts are excluded. Otherwise, it will be very dirty along with the body part. The intensity atmosphere should be controlled. Of course, you don't have to.

Open the Camera RAW filter and start the simple color adjustment.

The parameters are for reference only. To colorize this piece, I am not an artist or design designer. I totally rely on my feelings. In some cases, I am using preset tuning.

Back to the main PS interface, I also made fine adjustments to the available colors.

The final product is like this.

A single light can be made this way. It can only be regarded as qualified. If you can find a suitable background and angle, such as industrial ruins, the effect will be better. In the future, there should be a shooting plan, such as multiple lights, plus late synthesis.
