[OT] Photographing Objects

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All



Sorry for the OT, but I know you guys are a knowledgably (does that word
really exist) bunch.

I (OK, maybe not me personally :-)) need to photograph around 2000
products which range in size from 2cm up to around 40cm, they all need
to be on a white background. Getting them done professionally is really
not a cost option and super quality is not required as they're only
going to used on the net. However a budget for camera and kit is an
option.



Here was my thoughts:



Build a frame with a piece of mat white plastic mounted on it in a
concave (So no edges).

Place items in/on it.

Photograph



I'm guessing that I need to light the items in some way as a normal
flash is going to flood the image with light especially close up.

Any recommendations on how to go about this and what camera / equipment
you would recommend.



Failing all that points in the direction of appropriate web sites
appreciated.



Thanks in advance.



Rob
