I have went trough a tutorial that “makes your blender less laggy” and it didn`t wanted to start again 😀 so thats that. I replaced the file with my new try so thats gone, but ever sense I had no lag. I`ll go with the tutorial that you recommended and take it from there! 
Thumbs up!

I went trough the tutorial again. This time the software didn`t slowed up my machine, but I got stuck with this problem.

I`m facing a lot of issues when I follow a tutorial, my keys don’t match up the tutorial’s ones and I can’t follow anything.

Mainly the light comes from above, and I have left and right shot with the flash held so I can get counter light and to fill the shadows of the ring.

Next month the 5th I’m suppose to hit a big project. I`ll invest from the income and hire a macro 105 f2.8 lens!

– Is it a minus for the type of photography, that I`m having 2 lights which aren’t speed lights?

I find it difficult when I`m using bigger modifiers(I have godox DE300 a 300W lights, and they aren’t speed lights) it lights up the whole place and I want a bit moody picture for this one.

I don`t remember from how far I shot it, but to sum up:
– bring my lights closer
– shoot from as close as possible in full frame mode

I was going all around the houses with moving lights until I got something decent. Any suggestions?

I got only 24-27 f2.8 so I`m shooting on DX so I got a bit of a “zoom”. I have no macro lens at the moment.

Any opinions, and marks from 1-10?

I think this will do the job, I`ll shoot tomorrow to see if that will work 🙂

If I want to have a gradient light on purpose probably I`ll have to play around for hour to get that. The pictures on the video have different editing, the second one is less saturated on the strap and I took a bit from the contrast.

I tried double diffused softboxes but still isn’t enough.

Throw me your critiques or advices in sense of rules of positioning and lighting techniques, I want to improve!

This was done by 1 light.
