One of the reasons I got my new (to me) D700 was to be able to produce some better product shots. I also want to be able to shoot some rapid shots of a sports delivery and portray In a professional manner on my site. I have been toying with the idea of going with green screen and have done some research as well as taking an online course.
I don't live near a photo shop so have no nearby "experts" to go for help. A couple of weeks ago I stopped into a Henry's (45 minutes away) thinking I was going to get some help and the only answer I got was "I don't know, but my friends have used it!"... And no it wasn't a technical question... Simply something I asked about the material itself.
I don't have a lot of space, 8' ceiling, but would have a runout in front sufficient to put up a 9' x 20' screen... Enough to be able to shoot the 5 frames/second I anticipate I will need for the coaching shots.
I'm still a little unclear about the lighting though as I have 0... No... Zero... Experience with lighting.
I came across this setup today... http://www.amazon.ca/LimoStudio-Pho...TF8&qid=1394983925&sr=1-9&keywords=LimoStudio One of many different ones that had different lights, different lengths of screen etc. is this overkill for what I would need or is it not enough. I wouldn't have to go with this one but the types of light sect are what I'm mostly asking about.
Looking for any help with direction I should be heading in before I spend unnecessarily on equipment that will be taking up space.. I like the photokey software and may even spring for version 6 pro... The westcott matte looks to be top quality as well, offering a relatively wrinkle free option.
