1) You need to show the whole product, not just a part of it!
2) Fill-in flash! Fill-in flash! You have the camera on a tripod, you need to get the nasty shadows out of the picture...
In the first one, you have reflections in the watch and you can see clearly the mergers of the background!
Second one is better, but you needed a smaller aperture (F8-f10).
Still, a nice effort given the DiY nature of the project!
I tried to deal with the shadows as much as possible,using a built-in flash to do 3 jobs is kind of nerve-wreaking,close to impossible.
I just liked the glows in the 1st & the shallow DoF in the 2nd.I know it's miles away from a professional product photo.
After I'll be buying that dslr I was planning for,with a proper flashgun & some accesories,then I'll be doing some serious product shots.
1) Shoot RAW if you can! Then you can correct your color temperature as you wish! No more WB issues!
2) See if you can't use a cheap off-camera flash with your current camera! Or an alternative way of lighting the subject!
2. I don't have money to invest in a cheap flash. It's pointless since I'll get some dslr gear later on.
for me, a cheap flash means something like a used SB-28 from Nikon or a Sunpak383 (both around half/or third the price of a new SB-600, which is a killer flash) and you can use them even with the DSLR as slave flashes or back-ups!
Hmm... now I want to read some more about product photo! I'm curious.
chiar te rog sa-mi spui o parere mai "fericita".
