You inspired me to dig out my son's lighting equipment out of storage and use those soft boxes. Thank you! They are working great! Although I'm sure my son won't be thrilled;) <br /><br />Carol Deklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13342285917792504286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-84132454663532350302015-10-20T13:08:39.458-04:002015-10-20T13:08:39.458-04:00Well done! enjoyed the tips very much as this is s...Well done! enjoyed the tips very much as this is something I am going to need to work on.<br />Carlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-8999172144817186412015-10-20T07:58:17.740-04:002015-10-20T07:58:17.740-04:00GREAT post!

I will be playing around again this winter I am sure! during spring summer and fall I try to do them pics outside in indirect sunlight. no shadows, best colors, least editing!stacilouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337978880639296378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-29969276103264279212015-10-20T04:47:23.542-04:002015-10-20T04:47:23.542-04:00A really helpful post Patti - I'm just startin...A really helpful post Patti - I'm just starting out on my online selling journey so all this photographing is new to me!<br /><br />My photos are currently terrible - I can't wait to get a proper set up to give my product photograph a bit more of a 'wow factor'. I will definitely be looking in to the grey background idea!Jess Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446419759153926480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-67385206858237309572015-10-19T12:36:50.940-04:002015-10-19T12:36:50.940-04:00I'm struggling, too, and there's a great d...I'm struggling, too, and there's a great deal of excellent information here. I will definitely borrow some of your ideas.<br /><br />For me, by far the best lighting is natural light on a cloudy day. But I live in an area where the weather seldom cooperates with the forecasters, and just about never cooperates with me. I spend 5 days a week at work, leaving 2 days for photography - and sometimes an early evening or morning, depending on the time of year.<br /><br />Thanks much for this!Jenny Gholson-Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023035596883820568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-79813422245848727102015-10-19T08:59:30.186-04:002015-10-19T08:59:30.186-04:00Boy does all of that sound familiar, Patti.

I am going to try the soft lights that are working for you and see if I can cut down on the time I spend editing photos - I'll let you know how it goes.
