Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to product photography and I have a few questions
I currently have three 200W Strobes with Soft Boxes, and light box, and a Canon 5D.
The product I'm shooting is an electronic media converter with a pretty dull grey color, lots of metal, circuit board, etc.
I'm able to get some pretty good shots with this setup, the soft boxes and light box diffuse the light enough so that there are very few hot spots on the metal, however I'm having trouble getting the entire product into focus.
I'm shooting this at about a 30degree angle and I've tried using both the 70-300mm EF 1.4-5.6 and a 24-105mm 1.4L, but I can't seem to get the front and back of the module into perfect focus.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm pretty sure I need a prime lens with a better wide angle but if I can get away with the lenses I have then that would be great!
Thanks for any help!
