Another thought on this employer buying camera thing.
I do product photography as part of my job at work. I use my own
camera and lenses. I did not have a modern flash for my DSLR and
needed one for an upcoming event shoot. (The governor of Nebraska had
chosen to visit our company's booth at a
When I first got on PDML (back before the flood) I asked about phto'ing
shiny stuff as I had to photo chocolate chips... little did I know
I was shooting them in the packages til I got em. Little crinkly
sacks of glare - the solution was to put polarizers on the light sources
on two lights at
Thanks for all the thoughts. Ann's thought polarizing the light source may
come into play. Certainly a PL on the camera is a minimum.
This will be my first career-class photo work since my studio effort in 1985.
Next stop: Looking @ cameras and lenses. We'll start with used equipment.

Just a thought, will you need perspective correction for any images at all?

Very likely if they are parts for imports, like Audi or BMW. Shot
normally they will appear to be overpriced, but with proper

I'd not rush the purchase of the polarized filter.
According to the Light book, Ann's PL worked because plastics produce
polarized reflections. But unless your polished and shiny metal parts
are also painted, they will produce unpolarized reflections and so
the polarizing filter will be useless

i'd think you could handle that in LightRoom, though getting the lighting right
up front would be most efficient, and that you'd want to stay out of Photoshop

I'm starting a new job this week.
It will entail both photography and web development.
The photography will entail doing hundreds/thousands of internal
engine and transmission components and indexing them for web display
and later ecommerce.
Parts will be polished and shiny. I will need to

Couple of random thoughts... first, this book is highly recommended:

If you've never lit anything before, get Light: Science and Magic.
It's required reading.
It's also a good idea to go through www.strobist.com Lighting 101 and
102. It will also help you understand how to light.
Any camera will work, so you might as well use what you are
comfortable with.
