Just wondering if someone could offer me advice on shooting a skateboard deck. I will be using the images for product catalogues and resizing them for shopping cart images.
They need to be taken in such a way that I can easily remove the background around the skateboard and apply a slight drop shadow on the bottom in photoshop.
Im shooting with a Canon EOS 30D.
And the stock Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 17-85mm.
The skateboards are roughly 85 x 25 cm.
They have a high gloss finish, so i am trying to avoid reflection.
It is just a standard double kick skateboard with a kicked up front and back end.
I will be shooting the skateboard portrait (veritcal).
And any tips which will help me get a little definition as in the curves and shape of the board, particularly on the nose(front) and tail(back) would be tops.
Any recomendations as far as equipment is concerned would be much appreaciated.
Cheers
