Behind the scenes of PC Remote Control of Camera
Today I had a more serious play with remote control of the camera using a laptop.
In the past I have used a 2 1/2 x workshop magnifier to assess a picture I have taken. Quite often when the image is downloaded onto the pc I find flaws, and have to reshoot. The idea here was to down load images direct to the pc and view them full screen nearly immediately.
I attatch a marked up first shot to show what would not have been visible at the time of taking the picture.
Lighting for this was quite easy as the attached image shows. After the first shot which was taken as a flash exposure of 1/160 sec. I had to remove the reflector as it created an unwanted highlight and reduce shutter speed to 1/15 sec to allow a bit of light from the door to fill in the shadow from the collet ( shiny object bottom right of picture )
Further details are in the ' Camera Remote Control through a PC ' thread.
