I'm trying to take pictures of these aluminum cases for our company website, the problem is we have absolutely no photographic equipmet except for an outdated digital camera that needs a new battery, and a tripod.
Some of the cases are highly reflective and are very difficult to get good shots of. I know a lightbox would be good for that purpose, but I'm afraid of the cases coming out really white.
Right now the only lighting that we have is a big window and flourecent overhead lights, I've also used this "painters light", but it doesn't really work well for what I need.
I basically need recommendations on lighting equipment, and/or anything else you can think of. The owner refuses to buy a DSLR right now but he might consider a new point and shoot model.
If you want to see pictures of the cases, our current website is www.yotank.com. Be warned, its ugly; but I'm trying to completly redo it right now along with all the pictures on it.
