The white-on-white shots I've been trying are still coming out with a bit of a hue, so decided to try something with contrast instead. Background is a cut-up white turtleneck, lighting is an overhead kitchen light, two desk lamps, and on-camera flash. Minimal equipment, to say the least...But at least the background looks fairly white.
A really good white. Are you part of lightamateur group?? We're all trying to master indoor lighting and whites. I like your narrative on how you achieved this.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hi JackieR...thanks for viewing. Yes, I am in the lightamateur group and following along a bit erratically. I really appreciate all the the help that group is providing. Hope this narrative can be helpful, too.
Superb high key shot. I was battling with them last week as well!
White on white is a tough challenge - but as Francoise told me - we do need that bit of shade to provide the contrast.
your background is superbly white - pristine.. great images can be produced with minimal equipment. we do not really need all the do-dads we purchase, just more ingenuity and a willingness to try.. well done..
@joemuli thanks so much....I was so happy to really get white! When I did the same exposure for a white-on-white, I got a pinkish hue. So much to learn!
@evalieutionspics@kwind@bkbinthecity Thanks to all of you...knowing that people are looking and taking the time to comment and being part of this community is priceless for me!
@quietpurplehaze@jesperani Ah, anything for "art" - even the shirt off my back....lol...actually it was stained so part goes to photography and part goes to the rag bin. lol
@granagringa - Haha well I'm still learning too. Most of my white-on-white I'm able to achieve because of post-processing. Adjusting the temperature so that it isn't too warm (orange) or too cool (blue) and then brightening the image so that it isn't gray. However some of the same techniques can be done in-camera. Some cameras allow to adjust the temperature of the white balance. Or you could let in more light by a longer shutter speed or opening up the aperture. Keep at it and I know you'll get it eventually!
Ah, thank you...I realized one of my problems was the mixed bag of lighting I was using. And, that I don't know a lot about post and want all things through camera which I think is just not going to happen. Anyway, making progress, using natural light and your hints for a bit of post....
so thank you always
