Hey every one,

For those that read my levis thread yesterday you would have noticed how poor the pictures where well i got one of my levis out today and attempted a nice photo, I will be setting up better lighting and get some better pictures at a later stage.

try get lights at every angle..

i use several fluro battens and three or four clamp lamps. i found natural light and those from the ceiling werent working well.

this was my first attempt. i used HUGE white tiles..

the extra clamp lamps give a warm red glow.

its a bit of trial and error...

Nice shoot's Kirby.

yes, it is all about the lighting.

too many battens or natural light and you will find you will get a green tinge.... fiddle around with different lights, even the blue glow of the uv tubes do some interesting stuff..

there both very good photo's, as for me i like to use natural light for my photo's an useing a UV filter helps heaps in the natural light.

Scorps, the camera seems quite capable but you need to get sharp focus on the eye when you photograph living things.
Most cameras support a half press the shutter button to lock focus on the point of interest, then keep it half depressed, recompose and shoot. Your lighting is underexposed but otherwise quite good.
