I took some pics of my 5D, getting ready to put it up for sale. I decided to post these images and a simple description about the setup, in case someone else wants to shoot their gear not lying on the kitchen table.


As you can see in the last shot, a pull-back shot, I used the black side of a reflector leaned against the wall. One speedlight with blue gel aimed at the background. The key light was another speedlight shot through a small softbox close to the camera. Camera mounted directly on a light stand. I could have used a smooth background, but I wanted some kind of pattern to it, so the wrinkles were fine for this. YMMV

All I then had to do was clone out the light stand. Done...

    Thanks Devin,

    Good technical work, Pard. I hope you get the bucks you want.

    Say hi to Teresa and the kids ( the four legged kind ),

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Turned out really good. I like that floating effect it has.

    Selling your camera ... hmmmmmm.

    I always seem emotionally attached to my camera's ne_nau.gif

    Nice setup, Randy. Thanks for the explanations and demo shots. Now, if I only owned some lights . . .
