Equipment/Camera Advice for Taking Photo's from Top View
Hello I have big size area rugs (5x7 to 9x12 feet etc). I want to take
top view photo's of them. Please suggest equipment & cameras: A tripod etc that I can have a digital camera hoisted on in the top view position. And be able to view/focus to take photo remotely from below. Thanks |

Equipment/Camera Advice for Taking Photo's from Top View
Hi Phil, yes, have tried hanging on wall it as well but not good
results. The reason top view is better is that Sun light falls vertically. Plus using hangers to hang on the wall hides part of the rug & shadow issue. Thanks, Phil Stripling wrote in message ...

Equipment/Camera Advice for Taking Photo's from Top View
Hello I have big size area rugs (5x7 to 9x12 feet etc). I want to take top view photo's of them. Please suggest equipment & cameras: A tripod etc that I can have a digital camera hoisted on in the top view position. And be able to view/focus to take photo remotely from below. Is this a one time thing, or are you a dealer and need to shoot a dozen or more a day/week? for a one time thing, just get up on a ladder I'd actually do it at an angle, so one corner is closer, it would be more compositional and look more, ? active? If you are a stickler for proportion you could correct any perspective or keystoning in photoshop. If this is a periodic thing, get one of those painters ladders that have bends in the middle so it stretches out like a scaffold. I don't know if they make them 12 feet in length, you might want to get two ladders and a scaffold, this is more than just a board, its has a metal frame to give serious stiffness. If you do this daily, run a business as a rug dealer/wholesaler, see if you can go the crawl space, cut a hold in the ceiling and shoot straight down. If there is no crawlspace or someone's floor up there, nail a board to the ceiling, mount a tripod head and hang a camera, there are many cameras with remote shutter triggering. mark lines on the floor so you can lay a carpet out square and you won't have to worry about centering, or focus after the first time. |
