Title: Photoghraphing Lightsabers is difficult! Post by: Kalibos on July 09, 2011, 09:35:50 PM (http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k514/Kalibos11/IMG_3733.jpg)

Title: Re: Photoghraphing Lightsabers is difficult! Post by: Kalibos on July 09, 2011, 09:45:45 PM One of my sidelines is photography (weddings etc) I am a semi proffessional. These were some of the most difficult photos i have taken in ages (most of the day in fact and a lot of trail and error lol!)
Main problem i had was trying to keep the blade colour true to life, with a light as bright as these any colour in the light tends to bleach out ending up with just a white blade. So I used a time delay and messed around with iso settings and the biggest help was using my other prophecy to light the area above or below the saber i was photographing. EDIT: by Big Boss try not to double post there is a modify button ;) Title: Re: Photoghraphing Lightsabers is difficult! Post by: Big Boss on July 09, 2011, 10:01:38 PM Good idea, I was wondering how you managed to capture the colors so clearly on camera most of the time i just focus on capturing the hilt and not so much the colors themselves but you did a great job. :)
Title: Re: Photoghraphing Lightsabers is difficult! Post by: Master Artorius Vidnyl on July 09, 2011, 10:10:06 PM My apologies! Those are some great pics and I'm with Big Boss I tend to go for just looking at the hilt. Otherwise I black the room out but that rarely works. I'll try the things you mentioned in the future though I don't have the equipment to really make that work. Cheers again!
