Thread: Setting up product review "setup"

Hey -

I am an ameturer photographer who just started really shooting last year. I bought a D3100 (from the great help of you guys, thanks again Tommy (L4MBORGH1NI)) and am getting a little more comfortable with it each day. I am working on a review site for technology gadgets and with it being most photo driven I am trying to build an inexpensive "setup" where I can take the photos. Here is a few things:

- I would like to try and take the pictures of the products in a more natural light however that really isn't possible for me (in my apt I don't get very good lighting)

- With the natural lightening, I usually take picture of the products in different places (on the counter, desk, bed, couch, etc) so I would like to keep it mobile if anything.

I was reading an early post about speed lights and strobes. Would something like this apply?

Thanks for the help

Yea, I would just get a lightbox and a couple inexpensive studio strobes or speedlights. If you ever think you'll start doing video reviews than you may want to invest in some continuous lights.
