:) I am currently using 3 E640 flash units with a Cannon Rebel XT to photograph luxury ladies accessories.

I can attach a photo of what we have accomplished in the past as far as the lighting is concerned.
For some unknown reason the flash units are not giving us that desired effect.

I need advice on achieving the best desired effect and how to set it up.

The current background is studio grey paper on a roll.

I have been taking the Photos at 1/200 sec @f4 using a Cannon Rebel XT

Is there a way to attach a photo in this forum?

Thanks, Bob

A before and current shot would be helpful. Also, how are you triggering your lights?

The link does not let me see the images, it takes me to an error page.

But when typing a message, there is a row of turquoise buttons with the B,i,u, "Quote" etc. In that row is a button that says IMG. Click that button, and "img" and "/img" will appear in brackets. You can then paste the url of the image between the two sets of brackets. The image will then appear in the post once submitted.

I believe the security settings are preventing me from seeing the images on face book. If you would like, you can email them to info@paulcbuff.com attn:david

Or you can change the security settings for that image, or host them somewhere else, like Flickr or other hosting sites.

Also, when posting a link, [img.]your link goes here between these brackets[/img]. The cursor should default to where you should paste.

I think you should use a single flash unit with yours and also increase the light around the product.

And for this there is a tag called img that can be used to attach images here.
Goodluck. :D
