Intro to Product Photography (for instructables)

Step 4 General Tips

• Before you take all of your pictures, take a few test shots to find out what lighting set up works best.
• Don't take everything down until you have a chance to look at your pictures...You may want to retake a few of them.
• If your pictures require you to be up close, check to see if your camera has a macro mode. The symbol for it is a little flower, and it may be on a top dial, the back control panel, or in the menus.
• Photographs of electronics (like circuits) should always be taken from directly above, to insure the best clarity possible.
