Similar "packaging" from different era's.
An idea I'm working on but I'm not quite satisfied with it yet.
Thought I'd share anyway. I hope y'all don't mind.

For one thing there is text across the top of the cards that can't be seen. That area needs more lighting.
I'm also considering adding a couple more different type of CF type cards.
I do wish I still had some medium format rolls (with or without film) and/or 35mm rolls.
Otherwise...I dunno...I think it just needs........something

Larry, are you able to tilt a card to show the text? If that needs "help" use a brace then "remove" it in Ps?

I have photo film negatives and transparencies if those enter your thought workflow..?..
If you have an idea, run it by me, I may be able to help.

Thanks for the offer Dan! Much obliged.
While initially exploring this setup I tried reflecting light into the words using white foamcore as well as aluminum foil covered foamcore. The reflected light was not powerful enough unless I got the reflector close enough (and even then just barely), but then the reflector was in the frame. I am not all that proficient at removing things in post so I try to accomplish it in camera.
My time in the "studio" is limited (too hard to explain why). I have a few ideas I plan to try the next time a get an opportunity.

You are "light years ahead of me with lights and such Larry.

My studio time is also a pain....I am NOT good at post processing.

Douglas,
I was around when it was decided which side a shadow should fall on.
