Here my firsts attempts with lights
I used a 35mm because I’d like to buy a 35mm prime and I’s checking out how it looks like.
I used f4.5 to get a blurry background. ISO was 200 and speed was 1/20 for the green jar an 1/10 for the blue one.
I thought that 3x85W could have light up quite well the subjects but actually I had to use low shutter speed to maintain a low ISO:
For the green jar I think that the base is underexposed and blurry. The jar itself looks quite flat.
With the blue vase I shift the left umbrella to the rear part of the scene to have more backlit. So I had just one light in the front and two in the rear. This vase has the same problem of blurry top and bottom. The neck and the base are quite dark as well.
I really have to study optic to understand how the depth of field is affected when you change Aperture (I have read something about it), focal length, and subject distance…
It looks like that with 35mm at that distance I should have reduce aperture or increase distance and then crop.
It could be a pleasure to receive your feedback
