I hope someone can me offer some advice - I've got a Canon 700D, the stock 18-55 lense, plus a nifty fifty, I take pictures of items on a table which unfortunately sits in front of a window (which faces west), due to the layout of the room I can't change this. The items are electronics, computer components, speakers, gadgets.
Typically I find there is way too much light behind the items, that said on very dull overcast days it can be too dark. On sunny days once the sun has moved around it's too bright (usually around 1pm onwards).
The room is 4.5m x 3.0m
Anything like portable lights, a diffusor or reflector that I can put in the room that will help me take better images?
They couldn't be permanent fixtures, but something on a tripod I could put in place for an hour so and when needed would be ideal.
I'm sure there's a simple solution but I'm clueless as what it is, I don't mind spending some money, but I don't want buy the wrong items and find they make no difference, open to a better body and or lense if necessary, but I've a feeling my issue is light related.
