Testing a new lighting setup - Feat. Ecopla (infosec.pub)

I wasn't happy with my existing lighting setup, so I got some poster board and some LED lights to improve my shots. I grabbed a few built models off the shelf for some test photos. I would appreciate any feedback as I am a noob photographer.

Poster board and tv tray from Walmart, the rest from Amazon, cost maybe $75 total?

I'm no pro but the shot of Barbs is clean af. (If you meant to upload the other test photos, I'm not seeing them.) You're already doing a lot right. The only thing I can think of is diffusing the light with a cheap photo tent to cut down on what little glare there is.

My instance only allows one pic uploaded to the post (or I haven't been able to figure out how to do more), so I put the others in a comment.

Yeah, I see it now loading up zip and world. Not showing on slrpnk for some reason. Weird. (e: just showed up in the past couple of hours. Still weird.)

Again, looks great. I have no input other than you're on the right track. 😅
