All shot in my ghetto "studio":







What are your opinions guys?

What kind of paper did you use?

I don't know, I was looking for some sort of white surface and found out that my dad has an entire roll of white paper that he uses to cover certain parts of a car when he paints it.

Looks good :icon14:

that looks pretty good man.

aye man thats cool

Good setup. If not for the scene pics I'd have speculated there was some 3d + GI at work.

What was your lighting like?

Really excellent, the top one in particular looks professional.

What kind of camera are you using?

Thanks for the positive comments guys

My equipment is:

Canon 20D
Canon 24mm f/2.8
Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX Macro
Sigma EF-500 DG Super

Everything except for the monkey were shot with the 50mm. The only light source I used was my flash bounced off the ceiling.

Very nice. Looks quite professional.

now if you lay off the other gay posts you make, you'll be an OK fellow.

I like the headphones one

I know next to nothing about photography but those shots look pretty spectacular, and they're impressive considering the simplicity of your lighting and background setup.

Did it take much experimentation to get it right? And are those pictures the raw deal? (i.e. no digital enhancing etc)

Dandruff was edited out of the first one, nut slobber was taken out of the second photo, then the marachas had a chocolate finger look going on, but that was removed as well.

Nice shots. I've used similar "ghetto" setups before. So long as your have nice white paper and a good light source, you can get superb pics.

I'm impressed

Looks very good. Clean GJ!

Well, I have to take about 10-20 pics to choose one since the flash is never the same strength for some reason and I have to be sure that the focus is spot on, etc.

For the editing, the headphones have received a lot of post processing since the brand logo and model had to be removed, as well as some dirt removed and a grayscale afterwards.

Levels have been corrected in all the images to make the paper look exactly white. I've also removed the tiny bit of visible vignetting I get when I use the 24mm lens.

first one is cool.

Looks good!

Headphones look like they are rendered.

How much was the camera?

nice :icon14:
