I've ordered the LED lights for now but gone with the bigger panel version. The desk I photograph on is near a large window so I may find I only need to use the LED lights on a lower setting

I use photoshop to remove the background but I find it struggles to do the front of a computer due to shadows

Thank you. Just purchased a similar light but went with the longer tripod legs.

Tempted to give these ago: LED Lights

Thank you everyone. Tempted to go with the LED Panel for now and keep the screens off

To be honest i've always done screen off but the majority are matte screens. I don't mind doing screen on if it makes things better?

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations for lighting a laptop/desktop computer? Currently using a Samsung S23 Ultra and do have the Manfrotto mini tripod for it. I am tied for space and was looking at one of those ring lights as it would fit on the desk next to the laptop / PC for photos...

The products are mainly computers, desktops, laptops.etc Do have a 2 year old dog which my fiance would like me to photograph from time to time but realisticly that's probably a few times a year (Would also need a different lens for that really). I had a Canon 6D for years but got sick of...

Hi guys, Do you find a modern smart phone is enough to get good product images for website stock? I was big into photography and sold all my equipment a few years back. I'm now using a Samsung S20 but the focus isn't always great when capturing the photos and wondering if a mirrorless camera...

Did you swap the lenses as well or use an adapter? I know the adapters stop the auto-focus feature for video but not photos. To be honest the videos I do are for social media so I do them on my phone 16 : 9 format anyway. :)

Hi guys, just after some thoughts from anyone who has used the Sigma MC-11 adapter to allow them to use Canon EF lenses on a Sony E-Mount camera? I know some adapters don't allow auto-focusing/cause it to be slow etc. Cheers

To be honest I upgraded from a Canon 60D to a 6D a few years back and it may seem daft but the shutter button feels very squishy, I find it hard to hold it down half way while it focuses then actually take the photo once I press the button fully. I'm thinking of treating myself and spending a...

The adapter seems good. Trouble is do I spend £400 on the Sony A7 II (inc trading in my Canon 6D) plus the adapter? This would allow me to use my current lenses but then the adapter cost/weight would most likely not make it worth it? (unless the A7 II image quality / focusing speed is a big...

Think I will stick to it for the time being. I not long brought a 28mm F1.8 Canon lens for indoor car shows. I did add my Canon 6D, 24-105L and 28mm F1.8 lens to the MBP to swap for a Sony A7, Sigma 35mm F1.4 ART lens and the difference I would pay would be £300. Only problem with having...

80% of the time I feel editing my phone photos in photoshop does the job for social media uploads (main use for my photos). Sometimes close ups aren't too good and if I zoom in a lot
