Very usefull.
I do it the same way, but i didn't use the ovenpaper to reduce the light.

Thanks Giovanni,

I learned a great deal from reading your blog.

it seems so easy to take "perfect pictures"!!

Hi Marc,

I use it otherwise the light is way to strong and makes distortion in the final pic.

is the same method real photographer use, with white umbrella or diffusors.

I promise you, is easier than it seems, you just need to play with it and use the basic camera settings.

Any question, please ask.

Hi rob,

Thank you for reading my blog and following the advices there!

I saw your work, congratulations, as a first figure in acrylics is stunning!!

I will try to use the exposure compensation on your camera to make the picture less bright, try with -1 to - 2.

Very useful, thank you.

Question: Do you use RAW files? or Jpeg. is enough to get all the quality need it?

Best regards.

Hi Rodrigo,

I have a 12mp camera and jpg at medium resolution is more than enough.

Of course if you want to print hires images, then is different, but I won't use RAW, to hard to handle it.

Nice article!
I didn't know for the trick with two additional small lamps in order to get gradient background.
Next time I will use it.
