Thanks for the set-up idea! I've tried to play around as well, but as you said, the 25W lights aren't strong enough. Did you use a flash to take the shots or just lit by 3 lights and a top light?

Here's one I did where I moved one of the side lights to the front (you can see the shadow) to light it up better. No top light was used. I think to have one would be better eh...

Great angle and wicked sharp, but a little under-exposed, I'm thinking... probably need to get a bit of light lower down.

Love the crop, but the colors seem so... faded.

this time using a different approach..something similar to shooting a person in a studio!



we used a very strong white light thru a "diffuser" with the pelican flourescent as top lighting
then we used two "reflectors" to front light the product to eliminate any shadows from Haruhi's face

Actually, if that were a real person, you'd light her face more by about 1/2 stop.

This is my setup, I also had the balance and cloth issue, what I did was I grabbed 2 books and placed it inside the tent to balance it, then at the dollar store I got a large white cardboard, cut it down to size and slipped it in as the back and bottom, worked like a charm so far and if I spoiled the cardboard, I can just go get another one

You can use any lamp. Just make sure you use lamps that are the same colour temperature, so you can set the white balance later without having mixed lighting.

The first sample shots... I do need to find/make a better light box though. Please, don't laugh too hard!

The box!


The first shot... underexposed. Bigtime.


The second shot... I think the exposure worked out better... still underexposed but getting there! But... the focus is on the wrong stack.


Take 3... and final attempt before I get back to spring cleaning!


A little info on the setup...
2x Office Depot Clamp Desk Lamps
2x 6500K CFL Bulbs (60w equivalent)
Ikea El Cheapo White Box/Zip Bag of some sort
Black Satin as backdrop

I'm waiting for it to be dark so I can have the two lamps as the only source of light before I set a custom white balance. Main thing was getting the exposure set, as well as the focus. Had to make sure it would work before I could invest more time into it later tonight

darthchilli suggested I move the lamps lower, as well as reflect the light back in front. Good suggestions so far, and I will try them!

Just stop cleaning and spend the whole evening playing with it. I, for one, will make instant noodles and wait until you post more LOL

I will start doing these soon too...soon as I find a proper lightbox set up that can fit Obama-sama AND a Gundam or too. hehehehehe
