lighting position
Posted: Feb 5th, 2013, 11:30 pm
so everything I read tells me to position my lights away from and behind my camera to avoid reflection off particulates in the water.
However if the light is directional (pointing away from the camera) does it have to be behind the camera?
Wouldn't it being in front of the camera actually give more "dead space" (space in which there is no direct light only light reflected off the object to be viewed)?
Kinda like fog lights on a car. They are in front of you so they can't reflect off the fog in front of your eyes. here you also get a preview of the layout I'm planning on using.
