How to shoot marco using the LX5

[coconutz]

Hi ppl,

Newbie here on this camera.

Would like to know and the extra equipments need for a macro product shoot.

Mainly shoot for watches for online selling.

Thinking of buying a Light Tent (Studio in a Box), any recommendation?

Thanks all for your inputs.

It's macro. Marco's the name of a person.

A light tent would be gd and also need around 2 flashguns.

Any brand in particular?

Flashguns lighting? i saw those that comes in Fluorescent tube, but i guess it will be to hash for the watches as the glass is very reflective

Tried to youtube on the topic "How to photograph watches"

Nothing came out.

No it won't. The flashes fired through the box will still create a nice soft lighting effect.

You are missing the most basic equipment of all.
That is experience, gained through assisting an established photographer, at least experience of shooting a dozen or more weddings as the 2nd shooter or assistant.

What has experience taking wedding photographs got to do with the subject raised by TS? He's talking about macro product shoot.
