[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 208340, member: 9240"] Yeah, as I mentioned this was thrown together quickly to test whether or not I could pull off the lighting, so product composition was very hurried, just trying to get a mix of things in mixed positions, since that's what he has now, and make sure I could deal with the shadows. You're definitely right about the shades of grey (though far less than 50 ;)) that likely resulted from my trying to eliminate what was left of the shadows in the middle. A backlight source may be the trick there - either a reflector or a second flash, which I've been debating anyway. A little more care and time spent in post wouldn't hurt either. The fabric background began to rise almost immediately after the box and cover, so a larger flat surface will help as well. This is why we practice, right? Thanks for the suggestions. [/QUOTE]
