Good idea, the smoke can make a nice effect. should have light one up and ask her to hold.

It is still nice pictures... You manage to capture both subjects' eyes contact! Great!

How did you ask the cat to look at you? Meow?

dunno how to comment since never did it before.

One thing though, you could perhaps purchase some glass. Seems like quite a few product photos will have reflections as one of the look.

Look in flickr.

(ps : get a flickr account. )

Well, how big a product can be used for the setup?

viNcee

Jul 20 2008, 05:32 PM

The setup is already perfect (if you ask me

). As long as the subject is properly exposed with a 100% white background, I happy liao. Perhaps you might want to consider getting a piece of glass to play with now. The glass from photo frames are just nice

altecphoto

Jul 20 2008, 07:46 PM

i was thinking off adding one more lightsource from behind, and yeah.. maybe i try out that glass thingy.

bro xandman, this is what i wanted to find out a long long time ago.. i asked about this is shutter asia a few weeks ago, and their reply was mostly lighting problem. Could it be my camera body? Lens also L glass already.

why don't you boost the saturation on the camera body? got any setting?

TheVoIP

Jul 21 2008, 11:48 AM

Wow... You are fast... Nice pictures...

I do not have time to toch it as was working until 1am last nite....

One more thing... It was too hot that day... maybe start too late la.... until I nearly pengsan....

I think the model will be able to do better if not so hot la... It is killing the photographers also....

I dunno... Just simply say say...

Anyway, that shooting conclude one thing... The camera is more reliable that myself...

(1) AF more relibable that my eyes MF...

(2) When tempeture too hot, I break down first... I believe same thing to cold temperature.

Ps:I dont see anything wrong with the colors. Btw, could it be due to your colourspace? Srgb/adobe rgb?

travis : I disagree with your 2nd comment. some of those type of pics must have "feel" one.
