Macro photography setup

Commercial Product Photography Toronto.

I've been working on shooting macro photography assignment, shooting hands for wrist watches.

Hands for watches are practically flat objects, so I used the tripod with horizontal extension arm and straight top 90 degrees camera position. To avoid camera shaking I locked up camera mirror and I use tethering to shoot. Shooter must be remotely released with the computer mouse.

On the computer screen you can select sharpness area in live view mode and adjust all parameters while camera is set on fully manual.

Camera settings: Shutter 1/30 sec,  Aperture 13,  ISO 1200

Lighting: 3 LED panels, each of them contains 1,800 LEDs.
