| PHOTOGRAPHING THE TABLE-TOP Photography by GB Garagnon Copyright 2010 How Tabletop Photography Composition And Lighting Can Improve Your Work As an aspiring photographer, you will need to learn everything you can about tabletop photography composition and lighting. Knowing this skill and learning all the tips about this very useful art, will also be beneficial in selling your products online. After all, a picture can earn a thousand dollars, or at least say a thousand words. No matter how great your product, if your photo is not of good quality, the buyer will not take you seriously with bad pictures. Most people can learn tabletop photography tips and lighting techniques to take good photos of their products to load onto their websites or blogs. It is really not a difficult subject to lean, but it may take a bit of practice for the person to find what works best in their situation. Setting up a good tabletop photo studio is the first step. These can be bought online for between $60-$1000. As a beginner, you could buy a cheap one, as many of the cheap ones are quite suitable. Some cheap sets come with a softbox table top, lights, a camera stand and backdrops for less than $60. Some of the kits are portable. They can be folded up and stored in a carry bag. Select the best spot for your shoot by choosing a place where there is no ambient light, or where it can be shut out. When shooting, you should shut out any ambient light by turning off the room lights and closing the blinds. Only use the Halogen lights that were included in your studio. Ambient light can affect the quality of your photos. The Halogen lamps will provide sufficient illumination. The tent of the softbox will provide even illumination and remove any shadows, which makes it easier to adjust the white balance of the camera. Many photographers say that soft light is ideal for product photography, however this only applies when you have gained some experience in this regard. Many beginners find it hard to determine the softness or hardness of lighting. In order to determine this, you can place your hand in front of you over a surface and look at the shadow that your hand casts on the surface. If the shadow is soft, it indicates soft lighting conditions and if the shadow is hard, it indicates hard lighting conditions. A soft shadow is produced in your light tent if you have soft light. With some practice and experimentation, you will be able to tell the degree of softness or hardness, as well as the amount of sources that the light is emanating from. By recording the settings of your camera, equipment, lighting conditions and your subject, you will be able to find your niche and a style that is unique to you. You will also be able to reproduce similar effects and remember to avoid settings that do not work. Sharpness and lighting play an important role in setting apart the work of a professional and an amateur. These tabletop photography composition and lighting tips seem basic, however, when combined with a few moments spent editing your images, will deliver great results. The quality of your work will improve, as will your online and offline sales. |

Canon EOS 40D Press Release
Canon 430EX Speedlite:
This new flash unit is clearly aimed at buyers of the EOS 5D digital SLR which doesn't have a built-in flash unit. Compared to the 420EX which it replaces the 430EX has an increased guide number (range) and is approximately 40% faster at recycling. When attached to a camera with a smaller than full-frame sensor it detects this and adjusts its angle of coverage.
