Sounds good. Be sure to post how you lit the product and what kinds of
lights your working with. This will give me a better idea of how we can
solve your problem :thumbsup

I'm not familiar with 10D, but my suggestion will be - play with different white balance settings. If with different default WB settings you still getting wrong color balance, try with manual WB. However, 10D must have enough pre-setted WB combinations to make good photos in 99% cases...
And... don't use auto WB if you shoot inside...

you really don't need more than 5 mega pixel these days. go for the 'newest' model ya can . . . that will have the best on board processor . .

Do you get hard on while on photo shoot?

How much do you charge to shoot a model so she can use the images on her personal site?

i don't have any questions but i love those pics.

Depending on how bad I want to shoot her...I'll try to work with her to find a
fee that we can both live with :thumbsup

One thing that I'd say about that list of products that you listed is that some
of those will be harder to shoot than the others. There is no "one lighting
situation" that will work for everything. Products that are shinny and reflective
will need to be photographed differently than a product that doesn't reflect.
Candle pictures will look much nicer if you actually have the candle lit in the
picture and getting a good exposure of the candle as well as the flame could
be a challenge for you without the right gear and some knowledge of
photography.

Also, I might ad that professional pictures on that site will probably result
in more sales. And with that in mind...I would consider either hiring someone
to shoot that product for you or having someone come in and consult with
you about the best way to go about shooting it yourself.

Here's that bear pic that you mentioned in your thread. It's a simple 3 light
setup. One flash as the mainlight and two tunsten lights. The big challenge
for this picture was not blowing out all the white fur on this bear and making
sure there was detail there.

Thanks for the info. :)

Damn that is a pretty pink pussy :thumbsup
