I'm not so quite sure i've thought of the right topic title, but  Well these were taken with a 400d, 55mm EF, 1/125, 400iso, f8. They were on my desk under a fluro lamp and on a sheet of A4 paper. These were my tests to try out product photography, but they turned out better than i though. Minor photoshop work done, but work as noted.  Work: Film grain, B&W, tone correction, WB correction, Blurring, Sharpening, Fixed up a few reflections on the film.  Work: tone correction, curves, WB correction, sharpening, Fixed up a few reflections on the film. Also i might try cropping this photo. C&C as usual. PP if you feel the need too. Cheers,

They are okay.. certainly clear enough... but on this monitor your whites arent white enough... try using the white eyedropper on the white background and see if it fixes it maybe..  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...

I agree with Sue - plus there is a lack of contrast

In photoshop... go to.. Image>Adjust>Levels>... the levels box will then pop up.. then click on the white eyedropper (bottom right hand side of the pop up box).. and then click on an area that should be white in your image with it.. you can also use the black for the same thing.. its a tool I tend to use a lot... Hope this helps.. The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...

But when you do utilise a contrast boost via exposure you get the Kodak yellow more accurate plus the blue on the Fujifilm card becomes more readable. The white in the 200 appears better as well.  Chris

Great shot of the memory card, but what's that thing behind it?

If you look closely, it is a DX film, suited for the likes of the D200, D300, etc.  Real cameras use B&W film. Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

[/quote] Oooh thats much better again.. what did you do?.. just boost the contrast??.. (yeah I'm a little slow sometimes)..  [/quote] Quick and nasty brightness and contrast adjust in PS3. Did play with the colour balance control to try and get a better yellow. Andrew no problem in using this image on your stream Chris
