Aircraft can slow down and still manuever some, why did they have the aircraft going so fast ??

It seems to me the growth of the industry is reliant on getting someone elses marketshare and the way to do that is cut prices. They however, never take into consideration the contributors cost vs return.
This industry needs an artist union terribly.

I have found I need to have some serious light. I have assembled a second tent with glass suspended over pvc so I can light the bottom with the tent on top of the glass and surrounding everything else. I am finding the material "sport white vinyl", an umbrella material very graainy and think it will show so the need for serious light is back. The simple thing would have indeed been to elevate the subject, but now I have the need for some serious light which I can not achieve on the cheap, may just have to bite the bullet on lights. Clipping paths are something I should be better at rather than the other selection tools. Truth is I am just now teaching myself clipping paths as the tool is a bit awkward at first. I have all the answers in front of me it is now my responsibility to make it happen.
For years I tried to cook a great steak, kept reading and listening to everything. Finally a friend made me leave the steak sit out until it was room temperature ( an hour). It was a great steak. My reply was that I did let it sit out, all of ten minutes. I am admittedly hard headed. I will eventually make this work, probably after buying some decent lighting.
Thanks for the help.
P.S. Let your steak sit out for at least an hour !!

Thanks for the help, lastolite video was very helpful although I am forced to build something due to expense. Answer was what I thought, more light and talent needed.

Awesome, I will make the adjustments, thank you very much. My old lightbox for negatives list 5000k lamps on the side of it, I will try to utilize it .
Looking at this paper is does not look good lighting from the underside, it looks rough, Is there a thin paper made for underside lighting ?? I will try the white chart sheet as suggested.

This is after dodging and bluring. I try to go easy on PP especially exposure and such.

I am using #1 super white widetone seamless background paper and often get ugly, rough grainy looking shadows where a black object meets the paper. They look really noisy. More light or different paper/material  Even when I light with three and pop it with two SB 700's I can still occaisionally get this dark rough area.

Thanks all,
It always seems to be a struggle, lens vs object vs DOF. The DOF preview is pretty dark usually on the 800. I guess I need more elephants and buildings in my area. I guess that is why someone invented stack focus.

Good Morning,
I would like to ask if DOF calculators are accurate enough for stock images? is there a rule of thumb by which you reduce the calculators measurement to insure the images in focus acceptance?
Thanks to all who help.

Yes, that was my thinking also. I couldn't see a reason not to.

Hello Everyone,
I hope your day is going well. The workflow suggested by stock agencies show to convert from raw to 8 bit tiff and edit. Is this neccessary or can it stay 16 bit until ready to convert to jpeg ??
Thank you.
