Hey all, Just wanted to show what I got when trying out some new equipment and generally just messing around the flat. This is also a part of "take more shots to get better" - type of deal, so the title might change if I decide to add more photos here. That's it for now, hopefully you'll like them. C&C welcome as always (oh btw, I already know that these photos look like DOF-exercises ...which they kinda are...) Darkened
I like the first one, the exposure is good and the shallow DOF draws you in to the display but I would crop out the shelf it sits on or take another shot at a little different angle, it's a little distracting. The light fixture ones are cool but a little abstract to consider "product shots". I like the first one of the mobile keypad, the second is a little too shallow DOF for my taste but in either case, the colors and exposure are nice.
Thanks Fabler and Eddie. The first one was actually a bit wider still, so I didn't pay attention to the shelf when I was cropping it. But now that you mention it, it is a bit distracting. Also, I should have used "Shots of products" instead of "Product shots" Darkened
If it were a solid color (preferably black) it actually might add to the image. I think it is just the texture of the grain and the brown tone clashes with the clean techno-feel you establish with the electronics.
