Hi All
Its been a while since I posted anything ( Fly fishing has kept me busy ) and I was wondering about the cost of a small Lighting set up ..
So here`s the scenario .. Its not product photgraphy "as such" but possibly could be ..
I`m a Fly Tier ( small flies for fishing ) and also belong to a fishing forum were we show the photos of the flies we tie that are uploaded to the forum just for general viewing . Currently I just use my phone but as you can guess the photos are terrible and obviously don`t the do flies any justice , What sort of Small set up would be appropiate for this situation
To give you a basic idea, lets say a set up that someone would use for selling "small items" such as Watches , Rings , Jewellery etc that kinda of thing . Now I`m not talking a super expensive set up as this mainly only for Pleasure viewing , However having said all that, I have at times considered making these flies and "Possibly" somewhere down the line selling them on maybe eBay , FB Marketplace , these are not real expensive things you`re talking maybe £2 per fly that would/could be sold as lets say a bundle of 6 for £10.
Equipment I have is .. Nikon D500 , Good solid carbon fibre Tripod , Nikon 16-35mm F/4 ,Nikon 70-200mm F/2.8
Equipment I don`t have - Lighting ? ? ?
I would like to acheive something along the lines of , See post 2,668 >> THIS < < type of clear detailed photo .
I was thinking along the lines of a good solid table for the Product, then a couple of feet back I could set up the tripod with Camera & Lens .. all I`m missing is a light source really.
Thank you in advance for any help/info
