I have to take 300+ images, I have a Custom Light Box, a Sigma 28-75mm lens and a Canon 50mm 1.8 Lens. Now, Here are 2 pictures ive taken, tell me what I need to do to them to make them better, and personally, id rather get some good camera angle/setting advice to keep the PP to a minimum. Thanks in advanced.

What are the shots to be used for? Big print, small print, web or maybe all of the above?

Try adding a soft light onto the product from a high position to bring out more details. These look a little flat.
When shooting reflective products don't forget that you're shooting your environment as well. You might wanna get some screens or something that you could light up for your products to reflect. Just an idea.


Gear: Powershot S3, Raynox DCR-250 macro, Raynox DCR-2020PRO tele, CHDK for RAW-output, cardboard, paper, aluminum foil, tape, glue, an icecream pack and a little imagination :)
