Macro photo flash adapter in action: part 5 - objects for online auctions

Welcome!

My friend MATMOD (nick from photo forum) visited me today. We decided that photos of objects for online auctions would be the next Flash Adapter test. Therefore, the main objective was to take an attractive photograph showing the greatest number of details.

We had camera, Flash Adapter and external flash SB-600. An additional difficulty was our condition - for each image we used only one light source (built-in flash or external flash). To set the scene we used a fishing reel stabilized by a piece of wire and removable adhesive, laid on white cardboard.

First photo we take using only built-in flash.

The second photo we obtained with the use of an external flash. The burner was directed to the fishing reel.

The third photo is also with the use of an external flash, but this time the burner was directed to the ceiling.

And finally came the time for Flash Adapter. As you can see, every detail is visible.

In assessing these photographs for their suitability for the online auction we found that:

First place - photo no. 4 (with Flash Adapter use)
Evenly distributed tons, all visible in every detail.

Second place - photo no. 3
Also, it looks good, but in shaded areas is difficult to see the details.

Third and fourth place was not awarded :)



From a huge amount of pictures we did during the tests, in addition, I will present these.
Shooting technique similar.

 First photo with built-in flash. Unfortunately, the shadow cast from the lens is visible.

 The second with external flash and camera turned to the left.

 The third - again external flash but the light is bounced from the wall behind the photographer.

And the fourth photo - only Flash Adapter.

Please, you look closer to this photos and make your own assessment.

Photos of the fishing reel:
They were taken by Nikon D80 with 50mm 1.8D. Focusing distance near 50-55cm.
