My pictures SUCK! And with that said let's toast to my next project. Getting a shiny new camera because it has to be the cameras fault that my pictures are bad.
The camera I'm using now is a 4 megapixel Fujifilm Finepix e500 and these are the pictures it took for me:
The middle picture isn't so bad but generally I think the pictures are pretty dark in a lot of place. The contours of the clothing don't capture all of the light. The strange thing is that the camera is not capturing what I see. The placement of the overhead light clamps gave me a lot of trouble. At first I tried duct-taping it to the ceiling but it came down after about thirty minutes - thankfully on the top panel. My attempt at putting a nail in the ceiling didn't work either. I just settled for putting the nail as high on the wall as possible below the ceiling. I would have preferred to have to light shine at the object and not directly over it. Then again I would have preferred to have a drill and an actual wall sconce to house the light bulb so that I could extend it over the tent and adjust it as needed but we can't have everything now can we?
When I was buying all of the supplies for this project I had to fight my boyfriend tooth and nail over the light bulbs because even though he had never done anything with photography for some reason he was adamant that I use regular light bulbs and this had nothing to do with the price. I got him to buy two 42 watt CFL's which are 150 equivalent and one 150 watt incandescent because the cfl's can be pretty pricey and I wanted this to be a low budget project.
