i am taking pictures of clothing to sell online and i have a problem with picture quality.
my setup:
6 home made light boxes made of foam board. covers are made of white sheets.
backdrop is a a large white sheet.
i am using compact flourescent bulbs 42 watts.. lumens are 2800 bulb link
problem:
neutral color items come out great. background is white and the item is true in color.
however, when i take pictures of certain items (black, yellow, white, bright colors) the picture quality seriously degrades.
the camera seems to adjust itself and the pics come out dark, untrue in color, etc.
i thought it might be too dark so i added more light.. however, the camera adjusts and the pics come out dark..
i am positioning the lights at a 45 degree angle and give them ample time to warm up.
please help.. any insight would be great!
