Cups!

[aji23]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to the critique forum... I hope I know what I'm getting myself into ;)

I was given the task of photographing a line of stylish cups. The images will be used in a printed flyer (and probably online as well).

I'm looking for comments on both the quality of the image as well as my lighting choices (which are limited, given I'm working with a home studio I've rigged together).

I should also note this is my very first time taking images of this kind.

I am not sure if the images will have their backgrounds keyed out, so I present a keyed and non-keyed image.


Please let me know if this link does not work.

These are taken with a 24/70 f/2.8L mounted on a 20D; iso 100, f/10, 1/30 (IRRC).

The one thing I'm already aware of is in the keyed image, the coaster has a kind of sharp edge that I need to clean up.


Thanks in advance!

Even at that small size, i can see the edges from the white background and the original.

It's a nice photo. The top of the cup in the back seems to fade into the background a bit. They're very interesting cups and a nice subject. Lots of possibilities.

like the second one, think it should work well for what they want.
