Hi
I'd appreciate any advice on how to improve my instrument photos.
I now started taking these in RAW and choosing White Balance in software, which works better. I have DPP (what I use) but can't and won't have any software like Photoshop, Lightroom, or anything else that isn't free. I don't have any lights to use other than the natural light from my porch. This is the direction of the sunrise. Photos of shooting area showing stronger noon light but I shoot at softer morning or evening light usually (no shadows from the rail, etc.). I haven't tried shooting length-wise in the porch, only as showed, so that might work better (but more hassle to set up). Someone suggested a sort of light tent (especially to create less reflections) but I don't really have the space for that (I use a very small one for small instrument parts). I would like to be able to get all the sides completely white like the left side so there's no sharp transition and visible background like on the right side.
Thanks for any advice!
