So, I have a couple of weeks off work and have to stay local! Can't wait to go out shooting again at the end of march!
I fancy giving a bit of still life / product photography a go - to be honest, normally it's not something I have the patience of attention to detail for.
I have a studio head, an octabox with a grid option(90cm I think), a couple reflectors.
I made a test shot last night to see if things still worked - apparently I need to fully insert the receivers into the flash head haha
Not knowing what I'm doing, I used the octa quite close on the right and a flag on the left to create some shadow. It's a bit boring, but things worked out.
So my question is, if I order something online or pop to the supermarket - is there an object that you can recommend that will be good to learn with? and also what props will help? I just used a small table and my white wall - is a sheet of perspex a good investment or how about card and stuff like that?
