First I built one of those cardboard photo boxes. That didn't last because the paper inside kept getting crumpled. I looked at professional light boxes online, but spending more than a $100 bucks wasn't very appealing. So I finally bought one of those large clear frosted tote bins and some posterboard to line the inside, all for $12 bucks. I already have 3 daylight lamps for working. They aren't all the same, but they work. I had to fiddle with the exposure level in the camera. First tried EV-.3 and white balance for indoors. Awful! Everything had a blue tinge and very dark, even with all the lights.
Finally worked myself up to a EV+1.0 and white balance on Auto. Much better.
Can't decide whether I like the EV+1.0 or +1.3 which is even brighter....What do you think?
Like the 1.3 best. Can see the details better. Lovely work.

ReplyDeleteI like also 1.3 better. Thanks for the tips, I'm still struggling to get some decent photos.
ReplyDeleteI like the 1.3 much better. It seems to show the true colors of the item being photographed. The light and the white make everything look clean.
