I have been exploring the realm of product photography this week and it has definitely posed a few interesting challenges in terms of both lighting and detail. I have been writing reviews on three new hardware products this week, not for financial gain but basically a quick way to sample the very latest hardware releases for Mac, photography and guitar.

The negative of playing with new technology is that I generally end up buying the products as soon as they are released. Although this photo doesn’t offer the same creative context I thought I would post it anyway to see what others thought.

Product photography is definitely more difficult than I expected and I am very aware product makers aren’t really going to want reviews featuring unattractive photographs.

One new item of hardware to the UK photo market I managed to get my hands on for a few days is the brilliant Eye-Fi SD cards with wifi access. They offer the ability to take a photo and have it immediately (if you have network connectivity) sent to your computer or favourite photo sharing website. You can read more about the cards here.
