Post Your Bro Caps!

[Belfong]

It's more of a detail thing for me, a find it really hard to see the smaller details on caps when they're translucent.

You and I seemed to have the same taste. I didn't like trans cap for the same reason - not able to see the detail.

For me though, I'd kill for Virulent. It has a solid face and a trans base. That's got to be the best V2 ever*

*well, base on photo. I hope the real thing does not disappoint but I don't see many Virulent photos about. Did this range just get sucked into some reddit world or something

Nice pictures! I love them. Make me want some BB so hard. For a first cap I'll take any type of BB.

Made a ghetto lighting setup to give the iPhone 5 a bit of a leg up, does a lot better job of capturing the Toxic colorway.

Wow.. I gotta try this with the iPhone 6! Beautiful photos Bueller. I have hope that my phone can take equally good photos with the proper setup. I don't want to venture into SLR photography. That will surely suck all the money away :)

iPhones are great for taking photos of keycaps if you can get the lighting right. I'll post a photo of the little rig I built today, only uses a 12" LED strip and I'm amazed at the quality of light I can get out of it. And the backdrop is just the plastic cover of an architects sketchbook, the whole thing only cost me like 10 bucks :D

I noticed as long as it isn't too close, and if I can manage to hold it steady for a couple seconds,they can look pretty decent.

Yeah all these photos are cropped slightly, the iPhone 5 doesn't focus up close so great.

I learned that fluorescent light is not good for iPhone photography. It creates a somewhat dimmed photo and it has a green hue. I think it is because fluorescent has some sort of flicker. Unfortunately I have fluorescent light at home and in office. And I also found out that if I take the keyboard outdoor, they are just too bright and the keys looked washed out. Probably I have to get LED lights to do what bueller did.

Yeah fluoro's are horrible for photography, because of the flicker it is almost impossible to get good photos without a gelled flash. Check around for the LED strips on eBay or AliExpress, mine was a warm white 300mm one @ 1500mcd and it only cost me $6 from a local electronics store.

Nice, maybe I should get some LED strips.   If you have an iPad, try that out with a plain white image.  That's what I use, along with an image that looks like a spotlight (black background with white circular spot in the middle).  For extra lighting from other angles, I use a laptop and monitor screens.  All other lights in the room are turned off.

I have always wondered how you did the spotlight effect under your photos, cheers! I'll have to borrow an iPad from work and give it a go! Found the exact strips I'm using, they're dirt cheap for 5m of the stuff so I might have to order some more and make a few lightboxes.

Hmm.. this is interesting. You took those photos in the dark! I gotta try it one day!

do it nao!

makes a huge difference.  overhead room lights really 'contaminate' your fill lights during product photography.

[bueller]

Yep all my shots were taken in a dark room or at night with the lights off, really helps as long as your fill lights are bright enough.
