hi Mr Tom,
Yes it all makes sense, i've been using a bit of blue tac for anything that won't stand up on it's own, maybe i could raise things up a little with some of that.
In regards to filling the picture, I'm sadly taking these photos with an ihpone - our camera is very out of date, and i read somewhere that you shouldn't zoom in with an iphone camera because it's a lesser quality image? I can't remember the reason why.
I think for now this will be good enough, ultimately the vents are only going to be small, it's not a sexy product in the slightest, it's really simply because we have about 4 proper photographs even though we sell bloomin hundreds of products - we are ALWAYS scrabbling around, and re-using, and I just figured we could do with a few more options.
HOWEVER all your advice is definitely stuff I will take on board for some of my OWN projects
which is part of the joy of my job, I get to learn it (with help from you peeps) for vents and canopies and mechanical ventilation units but I can then utilise the skills for whatever I like afterwards.
The only problem with the lighting, I am having to compromise between where i put the lamp and where I put the tripod - if i try and light it bang from the front to get even lighting, my tripod will be miles away and the vent will be even less than 2.7% of the photo!
what is your opinion?
Can i just say how grateful I am to all of you for helping, thank you so much
