MyStudio works well
2009-04-26I had been looking for a review of this product for some time but found very little first hand experiences shared on the net. Therefore, I was on the fence about spending $250 for a piece of plastic. But since Amazon is the seller and will take it back if it doesn't work, I decided to go for it. I am an active seller of cameras and other small items on auction sites. My goal was to be able to easily make professional looking presentations of my items for sale. Up to now, I had been using a product called d-flecta, which is a seamless white background made by some kind of coated paper.
MyStudio is one big seamless piece of plastic. It arrived in a huge box. You get nothing else, no instructions, no nothing - just the background. I must say that in only a few minutes, I was getting very pleasing results. The d-flecta always had plenty of hot spots from the flash, or other distractions that were a pain to have to work around sometimes. But MyStudio seems to work much better. Usually all I have to do is maybe turn up the exposure a little bit when I do my edits, and I am done. The MyStudio32 is plenty big enough for my purpose - cameras surrounded by their accessories and packaging. It seems durable enough to last for years. If you are creative, there are probably a million fun things you can do with this product. But for me, it is a great time saver, and makes my product shots look professional and pleasing. Well worth the money. I recommend this product without hesitation.

If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...

View Finder - A small eyepiece or screen on the camera that allows you to see the image you're recording. (The camera also acts as a VCR, so you can play back and watch what you have already recorded through the view finder).
White Balance - If you ever ended up with yellow-tinted video, chances are you forgot to white balance. It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
