Size-wise, you can make it suitable for your needs. The one I use here is pretty big because I made it for RC use. For lighting, I use a $10 lamp with a white color bulb. It has a clamp where I attach it to the top of the box. I usually bounce the light from the top or side of the box. Then pictures are taken on a tripod or handheld. I prefer handheld though because it's more versatile and not limited by the tripod movement. Then I use the manual setting on my camera and play around with the shutter speed and aperture. I usually snap a ton of pics with different exposures and select afterwards. For example, in this set, I probably have about 5-6 shots for each pic. Also make sure to set a custom white balance for your background (with lighting on) or else you will get the orange-ish-hue. Actually I forgot to change the WB settings for this set too, so the white might look a bit off too (bit yellowish). I realize you can get away by using the built-in flash on some stuff too (mostly non-reflective surfaces), so experiment and see if you like the results.Jceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278037179078462592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344278395357222170.post-33824965231235018372010-02-28T20:27:10.485-05:002010-02-28T20:27:10.485-05:00bro I really like the setting of how you do such l...bro I really like the setting of how you do such lighting to take photo.
