| Any good tips would be very much appreciated...best tips get's the points. Here's what I need to do:Take several individual product shots with a digital camera for use on my ecommerce website. (these are all indoor tanning lotion products, so every item is in a bottle and maybe about 8" tall). I'm using a Kodak digital camera 6.3 MP and shooting indoors.I'd like a white background (or light-colored background...and very easy to find...like a bedsheet or whatever).Should I try this with the camera flash or just get plenty of light around it? And are then any relatively inexpensive kits you can buy online to help (Something under maybe $300?).btw, here's a link to an example product shot on the site...http://www.suntanhut.com/product-Halo-13-5-oz-205.htmlThanks in advance.First answer from Ringading...hey that's sounds easy. I should've picked up some Corona this afternoon. Anyway...suggestions from anyone else, including other additional details would be nice. I'm assuming I should use a tripod.Thanks. |

| That's The beauty of having a digital camera, You can take lots of pictures different ways.First, forget about camera flash only, it will put shadows on your background. If you don't have commercial type camera lights Put lightly shaded lights on either side of your products but out of picture range, Use a tripod, and a fast shutter speed, or put your camera on timer to eliminate fuzzyness, from slower shutter speeds.Take a picture, and write down what you did, lights how far away, shaded or unshaded, distance from subject, shutter speed, aperature, etc, when you change anything, write it down along with picture number. Check the pictures on the computer to see which looks best. Then take all the pictures you want the same way.Ps always shoot at highest MP setting, Raw, Hopefully, is you can process it, tiff is next but High, or fine depending on the camera will do if Tiff or Raw are difficult.Lighting is everything, Lots of light from all angles possible to stop shadows |
