Two weeks down the Nikon D90, its so tempting to keep it down and she hates it. :-) Last weekend I got a Shrek toy as part of the Happy Meal. Soon after coming home, I wanted to take few snaps of it. So quickly thought of home studio lighting setup to take photos.
All you need is
- A note book, preferably plain white sheets in them.
- Alternate source of light, like table lamp.
- Tripod (preferred)
Nikon D90 on the tripod + table lamp + note book with 50mm lens as the subject |
Keep the light at different angles to the subject to get various effect on the subject and control how the shadow is cast. Prefer using the timer shutter to avoid any chance of camera shake.
Here are some samples and more photos at flickr
Go ahead and comment your feedback and questions.

@Abirami
They are Home Alone assignments. :) Sure go ahead and post the pics, what else better channel can I get to market my snaps. :P
thanks, I have some Qs:
The tripod seems a bit lightweight, is it stable enough?
Where did you order it from?
I'm currently looking for a stable-but-light tripod, because I have a back problem. There seems to be no good one that meets this criterion of mine. Any suggestions?
@chinkurli
Yes that's a valid question. Even I don have a good medical record with my back. Yes they are light weight aluminum body. But they are good to hold a body and lens upto 70-300mm lens. But again care needs to be taken when lens barrel is fully extended. So upto 1500 gms they are good to hold.
But these tripods are excellent for travel, anything more than that would trouble your back.
I ordered it from Amazon. But there are good vendors in India too who can give at a good price.
Awesome pics! You do photography like a pro :)
Thanks @ajay

NICE PICS VIJESH ;-)
