My husband finally let me have a room dedicated to my photography. I am not that familiar with the terms but I just love to take pictures of my 1 year old and a few family members. I have a problem though. When I was shooting in my living room my pictures were great - they looked clear and precise. Now that I've moved into my "studio" my pictures are grainy and sometimes almost hazy. I haven't changed anything I am doing so I know it has to be the room I am in.
This is how my room is set up:
16x15
Flourescent Lighting (3 sets of lights with 2 tubes each - I turn these off tho for pictures)
The walls are painted flat white and the ceiling is made of white metal
I have two umbrella stands with 85 Watt coiled like lights in them lighting my backdrop.
I have one 600 watt softbox light on a boom that I use to light up my little girl.
I take my pictures on a chromakey green screen
When I zoon in close the pictures look so much better than when I am trying to get all of her in the picture.
I am pulling my hair out here - I am about to go back to my living room
Can anyone offer up suggestions on what might be causing this? I have even turned off the overhead florescent lights and just used my stands but it doesn't make much of a difference.
I posted this on another forum but haven't seen any suggestions that have worked.
I was told my ISO needed fixed to be 400 or less - all of the pictures were taken with 400. Also I was told with the florescent lights it was messing up my white balance but I turn those off and just use my studio type lights and I still have the same problem.
Thanks for any help at all...
