Re: How do I get sharper images? NX1100

Hello. I do product photography. it involves some accessories and could cost some money depending on what you take or what is your setup. it can be cheap also depending on setup.

I give you suggestion on easy and cheap alternative. one is use fluorescent bulb or lamp on stand or table, thin white linen cloth or white coupon paper, hollow frame or box frame or softbox.

use fluorescent because it produce natural light effect closest 5K temperature. use white linen on box frame or softbox for light diffusion. position lamp (outside of softbox) depending on where you want product illuminated nicely and get good balanced exposure and where you shoot with camera (front or top). if possible, use 2/3 lamps on different sides.

you should be able to shoot at f4-f8 at ISO 100 with fast shutter speeds without needing tripod or worry of movement blurring and get very sharp pictures and better field depth.
