gonfishn Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Anyone have a system for taking good pics of plastic lures? Have a 9.3 Kodak mp camera and it takes half way decent photos but there's still some shadowing and such. Noticed on several sites that they're pics are crisp and sharp and am wondering if there's an "easy" way to do it without having to have the expensive Photoshop, etc., type programs? Have tried light boxes, etc., still not what I'd like to see. Friend said he takes "huge format" pics and resizes them down and that seems to suit him. Here's an example of the best I'm able to do.

GB GONE Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Consider doing a search in this area (softbaits) and in the Hardbait area for more info. This has been covered lots. Also, look at your file format. jpeg may not be the best choice for your pics depending on the size and color. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggun Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I did the ones for my site outside and had the camera set for close up's. Just need a good sunny clear day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Jim who does your pics ?? Jeff Me, myself and I.... Group effort!!!! Lighting is the key for sure! I just have a simple camera with a macro button, nothing fancy at all. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Candy Bait Company Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I tried the lightbox and gave that up. Now I just film them outside on the same log each time. Clear to almost clear skies are the best. Mid morning to mid day works best for me. I also use a tripod to make it more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
