Rochester Woodworkers Society


The lunches were delivered from Wegman's sub shop	We knocked off for a lunch break and some touring of the various parts of the studio	Some of the folks ate in the offices ...	while others ate in the shop ...

while others reviewed some of the past projects from Campbell Studios	After lunch, Kent shows how to walk on the insulation board to keep the seamless paper neat and clean	Some aluminum tubing allows Kent to make a "frame" over his photographic subject	A couple of sheets and a couple of squeeze clamps allows him to make a tent

So far, the only item not readily available in the average shop was the seamless paper	With the tent over the subject made of sheets, the light is diffused	So far, the work has been addressing color temperature and setting the lighting	One of the insulation boards is used to shield the camera from stray light

A grey card is used to check main source of lighting	Kent shows a trick to use the camera's meter to check the ratio of main to secondary lighting	The grey card can be used on the other side to see if it is in the desired ratio	Here Kent demonstrates how a small chunk of mirror can be used to reduce/eliminate shadows

The frog is getting pretty close to camera ready	Now, after all this work, it's time to get the camera out and situated	Everyone gets a chance to see what it looks like, using a long lens to flatten the scene	Walking around the camera shows that stray light is hitting the lens
