How big are the products you are photographing? If they are small (less than the size of a freshly severed human head) you can buy a light tent from Amazon or eBay for about $30 which will come with some 500w lamps and a bunch of different coloured backdrops. This is an example of that kind of thing (just the first result on Amazon, I don't have any particular connection to that specific model or vendor). Bigger ones that you could fit a chainsaw in are about $140.

If you are photographing stuff like industrial shredders or soundproof doors, it gets exponentially more expensive.

I work for a marijuana producer so I'm mainly photographing dried bud and tops from plant so nothing too big. I also need to be able to shoot our packaging and the occasional piece of merchandise like water bottles and coffee mugs. I have a light tent and a little foldio box and some pretty ghetto lights that I inherited which doesn't give me much ability to control light. I'm just not getting the results I want and I hoping to go a little higher end, possibly some speedlights and softboxes.

What's the consensus/preferred etiquette around here regarding reviving old threads? I've just started messing around with an old Yashica and I found a thread here for it, but it hasn't been posted in since 2014. I wouldn't mind trying to reactivate it, but I also don't want to piss folks off/catch a probe for it.

My opinion is that there are not nearly enough posts on this sub that you should be concerned about necro’ing old or creating new threads.

Yeah, since most threads here are megathreads for a particular subject, it doesn't seem as objectionable (to me) as reviving a very specific, shorter lived thread.

In this varient, the text is quite close to the black paddling dog. Would your ethics allow you to reframe it, moving the dogs slightly to the left?
