First try on product shoot

Trying new stuffs, comments welcome.

Funky directional lighting! =)
Hmm. I find the centre bright line a lil distracting, is it from the built-in flash? Mebbe you'd like to use a cable instead, so the flash won't have to fire. Alternatively, use HSS mode (1/160 with AS on) and the built-in flash won't contribute to the exposure.

The right side seems a lil dark, maybe you'd like to add a reflector (small one) to fill in the shadow a little bit?

Cheers

Will try your suggestions.

No probz. I'm quite a noob at lighting though. =P Must teach!

Drudkh · 20th November 2005

Revisit, used wired instead of wireless, added a mini reflector on the right side. I think the lighting is abit harsh this time.

Hmm.... need to diffuse the light on the left... plus a brighter reflector on the right... like cardboard with aluminium covering?

I think 2 flashes with diffuser for the flash providing secondary lighting better... u got more control... did u use a black board for the background?

Maybe. Due to the lack of it in local shop.
