Yes I agree it's most annoying, Unfortunately a lot of my posts contain that message as I used Imgur to host my images at the time. Gaz

Spot on you will have made your life so much easier using the method you mention. go for it you won't regret it for a minute. Gaz

Okeydoke. Thanks

@sk66 Thanks for answering my questions. I'm sure I'll have plenty more for you in the future..... Gaz

Thanks Steven I am amazed at how much information you can glean from viewing an image. So many points that make perfect sense now you have pointed them out. The first being the black card to the left. You are spot on I was trying to add contrast to that thin edge but wherever it was placed I...

@sk66 You are correct. That said I'll just edit the thread. I'm out at the minute and not sure what the third image would add to the thread. Thanks Gaz

Hi I have had a try at this, it was fun to try and frustrating at the same time. @sk66 wrote "Do you know what your lighting pattern looks like, or what you expect it looks like? If not, you can't really know how/where to place it; or what to do to modify it" If I could get to that level of...

Great info. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I have no idea how I did it but my opening thread was only half of what I had written or thought I had written, I'm definitely loosing the plot :-( So this point and shoot camera has a flash I have installed batteries and the camera fires up am I correct in thinking...

Hi This is following on from an earlier post regarding my Daughter purchasing cheap point and shoot cameras she is starting to test some of them and not wanting to waste film I thought I would ask the knowledgeable folks on this forum. I have been tasked with this camera whilst she tries...

I'll try the soft box next time. I seem to be able to get acceptable results reasonably easily but the finer points you mention, that extra 10% I find really difficult. Funnily enough I just sold some roller skate wheels on Vinted and I took some photos of them on this acrylic. I used a...

Hi thanks for the detailed reply. It's very much appreciated. To be honest I have never used that umbrella on a product before so that's a good lesson to learn. Should I have used the soft box ? On the first image where the light is over the subject I actually lifted the light stand up and over...

Hi I have had a go at this. Struggled with the reflection I am assuming that it was more to do with the surface I was using it was pretty rough looking perspex I hope someone can clarify. Of course it could be my light/camera position. I did want the light more above to light the lens more but...
