photography light tent
Photography lamps, lights, and light tent?
I work in the surgical center at a large university hospital, and one of my most fun, but challanging, tasks is to maintain a database of each and every instrument and instrument set that is used in all of our surgical units. So, my “subjects” are everything from huge hip and back instruments to tiny, microscopic eye instruments. I’m no pro, but I’ve learned a great deal by trail-and-error.
My employer has supplied me with a photoboard with a crisp, white, non-light aborbing background, but the lamps they’ve given me are terrible! They’re all different shapes, so I end up with three “blotches” of light around the board, and varying degrees of ugly gold-tone shadows in between. Could it be the kind of lightbult in the lamps?
Also, these instruments refelct light like crazy, so should i ask my employer to buy me a light tent, OR three “real” photography lamps with some kind of light-softening filter? Or maybe both?
see if you can get something to diffuse the light, perhaps some opaque plexi glass.. or a white screen to put in front of the lights.. try angling the lights slightly so that the main focus of the light is slighly to the side of the object.. You can also try using reflected light, by bouncing the lights off something white to the sides of the object.
