That didnt really help All it did was make me think i need to spend loads of new equipment which as i explained i cannot do.

Right ive been having a little play around and iv managed to sort out the issues with close up shots on the phones. Some have greyish backgrounds but the sales are flying in so im not sure it really matters that much. The detail in the pictures is very good and i think that what matters the...

Well i wouldnt say there such an important aspect of the business that warrants spending £1000 on new camera and lighting set up. £1000 would be better spent on a website.As time goes on i will upgrade it all but its just about making the best from what i have at the moment. Regarding the...

I think i have manual exposure on mine. Im aware of grey cards and i have printed one out and used it for my photos. I hold it in front of the shot and push my button half way down and then take the card away and take the shot.

I reply to threads of various forums when i feel i can offer some advice or something that help out the original poster in any way. You have been helpful Garry and that was not aimed at you. He has not added anything useful to this thread.

You must have the most inappropiate advice possible. I cant afford the equipment right now and therefore i am using the set up shown in this forum. Im trying to make the best out of what i have. I will have alot of photos to take on a daily basis and wont have time to do everything in...

Did you use any other source of lighting except from the light underneath? That picture came out great. Think i might have to invest in a glass table

you was definately right.that did not help me at all. as bigyin said i need to learn about photography and camera skills as they will stay with me for life.

took some macro shots of some phones. They didnt come out that bad The first picture has more of a grey background than the second but the object looks more clear. Am i fighting a losing battle trying to get the quality of picture 1 with a white background. Even...

what do you mean black mirror?

Right i went to B&Q and got myself another 500w worklight for the right side of my tent and also a clamp worklight 150w for above the tent. Here is a picture of my set up I must say that things have not improved. I have the white balance set fine and here is a shot with exposure on 0...

look at post 7 and there is a link showing the camera i have

sorry they have sort of mixed together but the point of this thread was to discuss certain photos and how to elimintate glare etc.

i did have 2 worklights and i just found some replacement bulbs but cant seem to find the other light so off to B&Q i go. Gonna get another worklight and hopefully a clip on light that i can use for above. Or because a clip on light will be different type of light to the worklights should...
