Gorgeous shot! Can I ask what you think of those knives? Have been in the market for a new santoku

I have behind the scenes with another pic.

Inuse some boxes to reflect light or to block light. I use a DLSR in manual mode with a 50mm lens.

Exactly the same setup as me... but yet you're so much better at it! I also have a manual nifty fifty and use natural light with foam boards.

These knives are amazing! The edge of the blade is so sharp. It makes cutting vegies so much easier. The big knife is a chef’s knife. I have a santoku as well, but I prefer the chef’s knife.

I shoot with natural light as well. Can I see your photo? I think the end result is fine, isn’t it?

To be fair, this is probably the best one I've done so far, my previous two (on my profile) weren't as good but I took some advice from others (changing f stops, removing distractions etc) and I think I got a better result. I've got some more I'm tweaking in Lightroom that I'll upload over the next few days.

It’s a bit too much light from the right, I think?

I would use some white paper to make the light from the window more difuse.

And for the settings, just adjust and play with it. For a flatlay you can use f2.8 as well. Shutter time might be a bit faster eg 1/125 with this bright light.

Most importantly, have fun and practice a lot. It took me months as well and I’m still learning ☺️

Fantastic, thanks for the advice. I'm completely new to photography (I did some astrophotography a few back hence why I have a DSLR) so I'm still getting use to shutter speeds, aperture and ISO. I will indeed keep practicing! Thanks again JuKo 👍

Great pic and great watch. 3861 looks 🔥🔥 #omega
