Product Photography

For the past couple of days, I have been doing a lot of product photography. A friend of mine is opening an online store, and we have been shooting the products that he is going to sell. I have been learning quite a bit about this art.

I am shooting though a light tent using two lights. I have my DSLR tethered directly to my Macbook pro, so I can fully control the camera from the laptop. The photos are automatically downloading to the computer instead of the memory card. This lets me see the image before and after I shoot it on a larger screen.
