360 Jewelry Spin Photography: Silver Ring Example

When shooting 360 jewelry spin photography, we suggest using a higher frame count / 360 rotation. This example was shot using a total of 72 frames (that is 1 capture every 5 degrees). We had shot this 360 jewelry spin example using the LumiCube 360 Jewelry Photography Light Box. 

The lighting settings used were:
Bottom Lighting: Full Intensity
Back Lighting: Full Intensity
Top Left Lighting: ~15% Intensity
Top Right Lighting: ~15% Intensity
Cold Lighting: On
Neutral Lighting: Off
Warm Lighting: Off

We had used the Canon EOS M50 camera with Canon 100mm Macro Lens. The camera was set back about 20″ from the subject and the front doors on the LumiCube 360 Light Box were closed so the opening to shoot through was about 2″ wide. The original image resolution was ~1750 pixels wide.

The camera settings used in this 360 Jewelry Spin Image example were set as follows:
Aperture: 11
Shutter Speed: 1/100
White Balance: Auto
ISO: 100
Lens Focus Mode: AF (however overridden by the software to use a single, manually set focal point)

The 360 jewelry spin image capture workflow was automated via the Shutter Stream 360 + Video Software was entirely automated and took ~2 minutes and 30 seconds – as images were captured, they were instantly uploaded into the software. After the capture sequence was completed, we entered into the editing area where we made a small adjustment to the image set (adjusted the white point in the levels to 235 to achieve pure white background, adjusted the black point to 2 in the levels tool to add contrast and increased sharpness to 2.5). Editing adjustments were made on a single image then applied to the entire 360 jewelry image set in a single click. Batch editing took ~1 minute. The last step in the 360 Jewelry Spin Photography workflow was to output the image set then compose into a web-ready 360 product view. Images were output at 1000 pixels wide and composed into a 360 view in HTML5 format.
