    Couple more. I think I'm done here for now. Just some refinement and cloning left.

    Hey folks. I'm rather frustrated. After a lot of research and plenty of really helpful feedback I've reached a certain point in my photography where I can pull off a shot like this:

    MP-44 Optimus Prime (3).JPG

    With a setup like this:

    Setup.JPG

    Of course, this picture isn't even half as good as what most of you are able to achieve. Specifically, I'm still chasing that smooth black background effect like what @unicron nemesis is able to achieve. I'm here to ask for more input. What's tripping me up at this point? What am I doing wrong? I have no doubt that camera quality is starting to play a factor, I do want to save up for a proper DSLR. But besides that, is my lighting bad? I've been told a simple black bedsheet can do what I want but I can't seem to get it to work.

    Thanks for the help,
    Dave

    Get a darker black background, like velvet or felt. And / Or, move the figure / front lights further away from the background. Or both.

    In addition, you could put some make shift barn doors under the top lights, so that the light hits the figure but does not splash onto the backdrop. Google "Barn Door Photography" to see what I mean. Basically, some black construction paper in a half cone under the lights could help shape what is falling where.

    It's not what you have or don't there per say IMO, it's just fine tune controlling the situation. Ratios, distance, shaping, each element.

    I do pure black, and white, and have had to deal with similar situations.

    FWIW that picture looks pretty good to me. I also appreciate the behind the scenes shot, I would love to see others setups.
