A friend has a basement full of unused, new, out-of-date footwear. I get to try to sell them on eBay and anything over $30CAN is mine. I'll be rich! Rich beyond my wildest dreams!

I'm doing a small test group of 14 to see how it goes.

Here are my "Product Shots". On a white background that was lit with a lamp. Off-camera flashes to the left & right of the camera.

For some reason, DPC has scrambled the order, so different views of the same shoe aren't together here. I uploaded them in a ZIP file. They are meant to be ordered by file name. :-(















I think it's kind of fun to see all the thumbs in a big clump like this.

They look great....that collection would make for a great montage on a shoe store wall!

Looks like it's time for you to wipe all the identifiers off these files then repost them, and offer a prize to thye person who pairs them up correctly the quickest :-)

Good job of e-bay shooting btw. I've done a lot of that with books.

The light and everything looks great, but why did you leave some of the shoes untied? I am not sure what the norm is for footwear product shots, but it is a detail I noticed immediately.

You should've saved one for the Free study.

:-P

Slippy what are you going to do with all the riches?

Tie the shoes! ..... DOH! Now I have to re-shoot all those mofos! >:-(

What to do with all my riches? .... hmmmm, pay down some debt, I guess. ;-)

I think they're pretty good... I actually found myself shopping for hiking boots!

Those are great, Slippy!!! Try to get them into a collage of sorts (same shoes together though) because e-bay charges for every photo after the first and that will dig into your pocketbook fast :)

I'm going to HTML them in from here, myself. So they can be big. ;-)

Wouldn't that be "toes"?

Where's all the really exciting stuff, like stiletto heels?

Update...

I get to do all the photos for an orthotic company catalogue at $25 a shot. I don't know how many shots yet, hopefully about a million. :-D

ETA, plus $500 for the cover plus a couple of art shots. :-))
