My set up has a light on each side and one on top, all diffused. Do you guys think his set up would give me better lighting? Here is a sample set of pictures I took recently
Regarding the kneeded eraser, yes you just ball it up and put it under the object. It's a bit like PlayDough if you've never used it, only the eraser won't dry out.
I'd been wondering what I could do to improve my exceptionally crappy photos. Using ideas from this thread and pieces lying around the garage, I used a leftover 1.5" slab of Ikea countertop, a couple TV tables, a bunch of 1/8" styrofoam, some aluminum foil, tape, staples, and 3 500w halogen worklights. Didn't cost me a dime (because I have a LOT of leftover stuff from other projects hanging out in the garage.)Thanks, Coop, for the great ideas and tutorial. I'm going to have to try it.
I am in the process of changing my lighting setup and would like a few suggestions along with a critique.
Berno (Norbert), you are an immediate learner and are making me smile with how well your images look. Maybe even a little uncomfortable... LOL!I would like to thank you Jim for sharing knowledge that you did here.
^^^ Case in point. They look clear, warm, and inviting. Unlike the common harsh image of your first attempts. That was my experience as well. How frustrating, and I started paying attention to how the 'pros' did it.Still not professional, and I'm still working on figuring out my camera, but much improved. I always knew folks on this site were the greatest, most generous, helpful souls around.
Thank you!
