What should I do to get the most real effect when shooting aluminum products indoors? I use a Canon 60D with an external flash. Please advise.

It is best not to use zoom lens when shooting products, because the aperture value of zoom lens is relatively small. It is not conducive to blurring the background.

Indoor light sources include incandescent lamp and flash lamp, which are two different color temperatures, so white balance is more troublesome. In other words, it is best to choose one of them. It is suggested to turn off the incandescent lamp and manually select the white balance, which can assist the use of the flash.

Natural light+flash is ok, but pay attention to the distance from the flash to the object and the intensity of the flash. If it's not good, the details are gone.

The last point is big contrast, also called high dynamic tolerance. After using the surround exposure function, the details of light and dark parts can be obtained through post-HDR processing.

Recommendation: 1: use a standard fixed-focus lens with a large aperture; 2. Replace incandescent lamps with flash lamps and fluorescent lamps, and set the white balance manually.

3. Improve iso to 200 or 400. 4. Focus manually and use the bracketing exposure function (AEB). See instructions.
