sup /p/

Photography newfag here. I used a lightbox for the first time yesterday. What do you think? Constructive C&C please. These are my first shoes btw, they're tiny...

I'm probably going to build my own lightbox soon...

you still have a massive shadow on the corner..

Needs more light to make it even.

The colors are flat and boring. The subject is as flat and boring. It's not sharp at all, anywhere. Why the hell did you use f/22?

OP here.

I ditched a reflection screen on the right to get that shadow... I thought it looked nice for a wallpaper for example. I also got some shots with the screen on the right.

Lightboxes are for lazy fuckers who don't know how to light shit. They're really only useful for highly reflective objects.

I wasn't really a lightbox...

It was a small table with a curved piece of white paper on it. With a piece of plastic over it. I don't know what it's called.

I could only use one light at that time...
First time using strobes and a light meter as well btw.

Total shit.

You need to get a second light source in there to try to get rid of the huge shadows in the back.

Also don't say "light box" when you're actually just shooting on a white backdrop.

Also if you really want to get rid of the background just fucking photoshop it out.

Yeah, I tried to get another light. But I couldn't get it in time. So I had to use a reflection screen.

Also, I don't want to get rid of the background...

I don't know why I said lightbox either btw :\
I will be building myself a sort of a lightbox construction soon though. But with more options.

I hope he was kidding. Otherwise. Facepalm.

Of course i dont need to tell the master that there's an aa-filter in front of the sensor to prevent moiré and the f/22 aperture has caused diffraction to kick in and eat quite a bit of the overall sharpness.

And since its a pair of children's shoes so WHY...THE....FUCK...WOULDN'T....THE....VIBRANT...COLORS...FIT...IT?

Good for your first try OP. Try some more, with the nice tips above.

well, even eizo is not gonna help you if you've got fucked up eyes, and by looking at your "fix" you've got serious problem with them
>> Anonymous
>>187302
Yes, it does. Comparing a 12-bit color corrected to a 4-bit TN panel you probably have is really a big deal. The colors even look a bit undersaturated on the eizo.

Neither did I. I do, however, tend to use it for everything considering I don't own a working P&S right now.
