I was wondering if someone could recommend camera settings for taking pictures of products for a website.
I just bought a Nikon D5000 and I have little experience with photography (I plan to change that) and no matter what settings I try to use the images come out either too bright or off-color and I can't seem to get a sharp picture...I need to remove the backgrounds in Photoshop so I can put the product image onto a different background image that all of the products are on.
Some pictures come out okay, but the "edges" of the products are soft/blurry.
The products are cans of spray paint. I'm using lightbox with white background because I thought that would make it a little easier but I can't get the pics sharp enough.
I heard most kit lenses aren't all that great so I'm wondering if I should get a new lens, but that would be a little expensive...
I'm sure the camera+kit lens would work just fine if I can figure the correct settings....
ANY help is greatly appreciated!!
