Or else I have to change the color of logo from white to maybe red or brown and make it transparent

Yeah, make it unobtrusive. A translucent at the corner will be much better IMO.

 

[arian29]

like the 1st one @Faun
@Sujoy the Samsung logo isn't in focus or is it the scratch guard.., i like the 1st one
guess ill create my logo too

 

[sujoyp]

@arian29 ...truth is in 1st one windows logo is not in focus and in 2nd samsungs logo is not in focus I tried many times but when I increase f-no to more than f10 it becomes very dark ...flash cant be used coz of reflection

 

[Faun]

^^aren't you supposed to have lower f number to get focus on whole thing without any blurring ?

 

[arian29]

^^aren't you supposed to have lower f number to get focus on whole thing without any blurring ?

lower f number (stops) ull get point focus.. like f1.8 etc.. larger f stops, you'll get wide focus (more stuff in focus) like f5.6 etc

 

[sujoyp]

@Faun If I use lower f-no like f4 or f2.8 I will get lesser area in focus ....but If i use bigger f-nos like f11, f14 I will have more area in focus..

Ok I tried with my logo and came to conclusion that if the page is white I have to use the black bar at the bottom...the logo is not looking good in full black
but if background is colored then I can use the white transparent one

nice logo sujoy.. what do you suggest.. use my name or use an alias or nickname, for my logo.. ?

 

[Faun]

thanks for the quick brush up guys

Keeping the focal length lower will help with deep DOF too.

Sujoy inspired gonna try my 1st product photography..

@shreeharsha nice try but u have to learn composition slowly

@arian ur shots r fine but u should see what should be the actual goal of product photography...if u have checked ur mobile in gsmarena.com u must have seen this image

*st.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/nokia-lumia-710/gal/gsmarena_001.jpg

Try to move towards this...think how the lightning should be, background, settings etc

And yes we can not remove the shadow under the product coz we do not have the light under the subject..if u want to remove the shadow u need a plain glass base, a light under it and a white sheet over the glass. keep subject over it and it wont have a shadow

@harsha
trick for the 3rd shot ?

For this shot, no tricks involved, I just kept the camera in Sunset mode and all was taken care automatically.

But usually what I do is, switch to spot metering and reduce the exposure to minimum to achieve the same effect with my Nikon S9100. But it was never this good.

@shreeharsha nice try but u have to learn composition slowly

Will do, but need corrections from fellow members to point out the sore things in the pic

 

[sujoyp]

U want corrections...ok let me see the pics ones more

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

A few more old snaps from S9100

wow shriharsha these r great shots very well composed just didnt like 3rd one...there is something strange about those group of people...maybe a orange outline ,other than that pic is good

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

@Sujoy
Thank you

Even I didn't like my friends getting into the frame, but they won't budge, they were asking me to take their snaps and I was worried about the time frame, I didn't want to miss the sunrise so I had to pretend that I was taking their snaps too shuffling between both

Managed this finally on that day, I think I posted this earlier, re-posting it again

@sriharsha this one is also superb...is it sunrise??

No I didnt ment that ur friends r there so I didnt like the pic but there is something wrong with post processing in that pic....just check 3rd and 4th pic....in 4th pic those guys r looking sharp but in 3rd its seems they r out of focus ...maybe its just me

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

^^
Yep, Sunrise.

Yeah, it looks a bit blurred, never observed it keenly
