3 Product style shots

[306dean]

Right so i finally got a couple of lamps for my light box and decided to give it a shot. Now i'm not using any flash at all, just the lighting from the 2 lamps....
C+C is more than welcome

#3 looks spot on
#2, would you want to get more depth of focus?
and it looks like a dust bunny or something under the front wheel and dust on the bonnet
#1 would be nice if you could bring out the detail in the centre of the item (and maybe tidy up some of the loose threads?)

don't mean to be harsh, but clients would expect perfection!

imho

thats what i'm looking for...help is always good. Not going to be going into full on product shots but i list quite a lot of stuff on ebay so decent shots help get decent prices.

This is my first attempt at editing someone else's photo here so please don't shoot me :)

I have cleaned up the dust and the background and sharpened it a little

i completely forgot about sharpening the images....what a fool i am.

Not bad chap!

I think I'd have used a slightly larger DOF on the XK8, but that's down to personal preference.

I think the only other thing would be to keep the shadow within the bounds of the photograph, that way it can be used on a plain white page without any alteration, which a designer is going to thank you for!

Edit: I know Diesel use some strange design elements sometimes, but I can't tell if the bottle is #3 is OOF or not? Must just be my tired eyes!

it could be a tad oof, but not a great deal i don't think.
Keep the comments coming....it's all good for my learning
