		| | A friend has a basement full of unused, new, out-of-date footwear.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.

		| | 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.

		| | 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. ;-)

		| | 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. :-))
