will52100 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Just finished this up, a little out of the ordinary for me, but been wanting to try something like this for a while. Uses standard household candles, sheet metal cup and holder are riveted on. Got to get a better camera, or else learn to use the iPhone's camera better one.

Daswulf Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Will, Nice job. I watched a video on making one with a similar cup design yesterday. Well done. I'd love to try one some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo7 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nice work mate. A good photo is more about the light than the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will52100 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks. You know, I never did have a lot of trouble with the old 35mm SLR camera, but for the life of me can't get the cell camera to take decent pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 turbo7 is right about the lighting; lots of diffuse light from multiple angles is best. That, and learning how to override the iPhone's autofocus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will52100 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks, I'm going to check into trying to override and learn how to properly use the iPhone's camera, there also are apparently different lenses you can clip on. As an aside, the inspiration for this holder was made after watching a couple different youtube video's by purgatoryironworks and Kovko Kova4.
