i wonder if any of you kind peeps could recommend something to help me out ? 2 things..
1) As i'm in the throes of setting up a website I need my photos of clothing to have that " floating" look that big websites have ( eg debenhams/ asos) where there's no background or mannequin showing.
i've read that V bright lighting on a white background would acheive this. I've got a 2x 500w halogen lamps on a tripod, but they still seem to give off a yellow glow...i need pure white light. the photographic accessories are hugely expensive : £100's of pounds for a single light. does anyone know what i could use ( i was thinking halogen??) that's reasonably priced, so i can buy multiple lights, that are white, not yellow tinged?
2) taking photos of pure black clothes. discuss ! :_| even with the halogen lights & 3x 100w bayonet bulbs the definition is not good. I have to fiddle round with overexposure & contrast once the piccys are on my laptop.
i'm only using a panasonic lumix by the way....maybe that's not helping, for a start ?
thank you in advance ! :-x
