Re: [OT] Photographing Objects

Hi,

I think you'll find an EZ Cube or other brand of 'light box' useful.
Like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7568586515&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT

To use this to it's best you'd need a digital SLR and 1 or 2 flash heads.

Sorry don't have too much details but just thought maybe you've not seen
one of these before.

Regards,

Teddy

Hi All



Sorry for the OT, but I know you guys are a knowledgably (does that word
really exist) bunch.

I (OK, maybe not me personally :-)) need to photograph around 2000
products which range in size from 2cm up to around 40cm, they all need
to be on a white background. Getting them done professionally is really
not a cost option and super quality is not required as they're only
going to used on the net. However a budget for camera and kit is an
option.



Here was my thoughts:



Build a frame with a piece of mat white plastic mounted on it in a
concave (So no edges).

Place items in/on it.

Photograph



I'm guessing that I need to light the items in some way as a normal
flash is going to flood the image with light especially close up.

Any recommendations on how to go about this and what camera / equipment
you would recommend.



Failing all that points in the direction of appropriate web sites
appreciated.



Thanks in advance.



Rob
