The Expo Disc is just a $50 coffee filter

 

i might try the coffee filter first lol

 

I snagged a couple at work and keep them in my gear bag. You could shoot a gray card too. Or if it's the whole studio thing; shoot a color card.

 

haha the "white" background is just some matte board for mounting photos! lol

 

No prob. But the color card/gray card is much easier to deal with inside than in run and gun mode

Do you fire the flash through a white sheet or bounce it. Try a sheet--even colors work if you can light your product separately. If you shoot for color, lower power is better.

 

so next year im gonna make a resolution to take one photo every day and make an album from it. sounds fun.

 

huh?

 

ill break it down for you.

theres 365 days in a year.

im going to take one photo a day all year (at least).

and make a photo album out of it.

 

i know, but for what?

 

because it sounds fun to me lol

 

I know a lot of people that do that.

It's good and forces you to shoot daily. Good luck!
