Hello - my first post.
I am an amateur photographer facing the challenge of golf club product pictures. The satin finish heads (like Ping) are no problem, they are not very reflective. But when I have to photo a shiny, mirror finish head... it gives me fits. I use a light tent, but getting the camera reflection out of the club head picture is impossible.
Any tips on settings, or technique to battle this?
Here is one that Ive done taken with a Fuji E550 (not very good, is it?)
And here is one of the same product that I am impressed with. I realize there are shadows there, but thats unavoidable in this case, is that correct? I just think this looks sharp. What are they doing right that I am not?
