Bill Myers Tip of the Week 28/1/06

Bill Myers Tip of the Week - January 28, 2006
===============================================================

This week we purchased a tent for our office.

Not the kind of tent you camp in, but a 'light' tent, to use when
shooting photographs.

A light tent (also referred to as a 'cloud dome') is a enclosure
made of translucent material used to spread a cloud of diffused
light on items placed within the tent.

You set the light tent on a table top, place the item to be
photographed inside, and shoot pictures.

The results are simply amazing. Often breathtaking.

And this can be important, since an impressive photo can greatly
increase the perceived value of, and desire to have, the product
in the photo.

If you use product photos on your web or eBay pages, you might
discover having your own light tent will pay for itself many
times over. (The light tent we purchased cost just $40.)

To see a photo of our light tent as well as photos of items we've
taken in it, check out the light tent article on our site.
