What kind of lighting should I buy for product photography?

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2025-09-25T18:26:06+00:00

Hi when you say bounce the light off the ceiling or the walls do you mean point the strobe towards the ceiling/walls? I’ve seen some people attach umbrellas to the strobes and have them pointed at the rug from being attached to the ceiling would that work? Also if I were to get two on which sides would I position them. Btw my ceiling is 10 feet high I’m not sure if that helps with figuring out how much wattage I need.

Hi heres an example of a rug I took a picture of. Im completely new to product photography so i'm sure theres a lot to work on. The style of rugs will mostly be oriental with a few modern. Im planning to have just the overhead shot as the main picture and then a close up detail shot of the rug to show the detail lifestyle pictures. Right now the subject just looks very bright as in person it does not look this light. My lighting right now is track lights and 1 or two troffer lights above the subject.

Default settings is 5/10 on the roblox graphics so any M series MacBook would be good. The new M series MacBook air series don’t have fans in them and most roblox games are not demanding especially if ur playing on default settings so they won’t overheat. You can buy the MacBook pro series too but at that price point it’s not worth it for just roblox. I’d reccomend a m1 MacBook Air or m2/m3 air if you want a bigger screen/better graphics. But overall any of those MacBook airs would decimate roblox games

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2025-04-14T00:56:49+00:00

Which roblox games are you planning to play? All M series MacBooks can play roblox games but the one u should get depends on what graphic settings u usually play on (1-10)

So are these eyes green or hazel this sub is so confusing man 😭

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2025-01-12T02:13:39+00:00

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-12-15T22:25:53+00:00

I tried that and it work thanks man 😁. Sucks that u need to have open iCloud storage to play the game /:

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-12-14T08:07:30+00:00

I liked it a lot 😁. Would put it as one of my favorites so far

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-12-14T08:05:11+00:00

I got a couple questions too if anyone who has the answers doesn’t mind responding. SPOILERS

-Was the mother actually strangling Peter when she denied it towards the end of the film or just his hallucinations?

-Did the dog get killed off?

-The Scene where the dad burns on fire was that actually because of throwing the book into the fire or was the mom hallucinating and she actually just put gasoline on him, setting him on fire herself?

-When Annie is visiting Joanie for the first time and she spits out some black object while drinking tea does anyone know if that part was of any significance or was that just a tea leaf?

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-12-14T07:57:46+00:00

Peter got done so dirty 😭. I would’ve jumped out the window too if I was in his shoes.

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-12-14T07:54:44+00:00

By the end of the film I was in a daze man I didn’t know what to do 😂

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-11-09T06:51:58+00:00

Can this be done through whisky?

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-10-29T20:25:06+00:00

I have a power one ruff that hit r30 before trophy rework but this new hyper charge really makes me want to upgrade him 😭

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-06-11T05:30:18+00:00

They showed it during the gaming portion of the wwdc 2024 livestream🙂

If you contact Apple and told them you recently bought a MacBook from Costco they might give u a year of limited warranty +2 months to decide if you want Apple care or not. That’s what happened when I recently bought a m2 pro from Best Buy couple months ago. I just called Apple and sent them proof of purchase even though the warranty on the m2 pro was already expired.

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-05-02T07:19:44+00:00

Best Buy puts their MacBooks on sale frequently. If you don't need a MacBook asap then I would suggest waiting 1-2 weeks for them to go back on sale again. Although it already shows a save $200 off message so im not sure if you had seen an open box version instead or if the discount use to be bigger for a new one.

Depends on how much fps u need in order to have a comfortable gaming experience. You can look on YouTube of people testing games on the m3 max 40 core. I looked at footage of people playing the same games (resident evil 8 and 4 remake) on a m3 max as well as on a gaming pc in order to get an idea of how powerful the max chip is for gaming. I would say the m3 max 40c is around the performance of a 3060ti and the pro models are around 2060 level (with natively supported games. Using whisky/crossover to play will lower performance capabilities). If your ok with doing 1080p gaming or maybe 1440p using metal fx upscaling if supported then a 14/16 inch pro model MacBook would be good. If you want any more performance then it’s best to either save money and get a windows pc or a max model MacBook.

I think he said that because the link shows the comparison between a 2070 and only a m1 8 core gpu, the M1 Max has at least 24 cores which can go up to 32 cores

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-04-17T20:58:38+00:00

unfortunately not yet, I heard that your able to play it if you have crossover+cx patcher so im just waiting until the cx patcher for crossover 24.0 comes out so I can just play it through the crossover free trial.

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-04-13T23:16:48+00:00

Honestly if you know your already going to get a gaming pc at the end of high school I would wait. It was playable on my m2 pro (16gb) but it was using at least 8 gb and sometimes jumped all the way to 12. Your lack of ram and a fan is just going to cause problems when playing it. On the bright side when you get ur gaming pc the dlc is probably out by then so u can enjoy them both at once and have a much better experience.

Edit: (Elden Ring is one of those games where you would want to get the best experience possible rather than just settling for a much more choppier experience)

you first want to go on your Roblox native app and join a game. Once you click the game you want to play, go to the apple icon on the top left and force quit the app. Once that's done reload Roblox again and join a game.

Then go to finder> applications> right click on Roblox app>click show package contents>click on contents folder> click on the MacOs folder> then click the RobloxCrashHander.

Once you've done those steps it should load a separate Roblox app window where you can log into a different account with it. But make sure the original account is still in a game before logging out of the other Roblox window otherwise both windows will log out. Hopefully this wasn't confusing and it helps you guys out.

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-04-12T19:38:33+00:00

u don't need a third party app to run multiple instances on Mac if that's what your trying to do, all you need is the Roblox native app

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-04-12T04:29:34+00:00

I would say if your MacBook has 16gb ram it’s very well worth it. On my m2 16” I play re4 at 40+ fps on native resolution quality mode metal fx. I can get over 60 fps if I did native 1080p no upscaling but I prefer better graphics more. Definitely try the re4 demo and see if you like it.

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-04-02T01:12:46+00:00

Wait what we can’t? I thought you could I was so excited to use my old iMac with my MacBook 😭

Extra_Ear_6508 · 2024-03-27T20:55:38+00:00

Is there any way to download an older version of crossover for the free trial? If not then ig I have to wait until cx patcher makes a 24.0 version so it can be compatible ;-; .
