I have a question for yall . I’m a flint knapper.. and modder…what would be your opinion on the LED lighting that would show the best iridescent reflection without glare as you can see in the video.. this is Mr lumencraft Matt’s knife in tha making
Given the way light works, I think that every light source produces glare on certain surfaces. How shiny/reflective is the irridescence on the knife? I imagine warmer colirs would probably show less glare/washing out, or perhaps a periphery style light like a ring light or a light bar.
Also, the angle at which you shine the light is going to make a difference, perhaps try a light box where everything is bright?
Maybe it was the cheap ring I got
Lightbox!
Not a photographer but my polarising sunnies cut down reflections from glass, so perhaps try a polarising filter?
