Thanks for your reply. I have been taking photos with hot lights for years. I have been taking photos in other varied situations for years. I recently tried using my Canon flashes and liked the flexibility over the hot lights.
I take these types of photos a few times a year because that is when we do product launches. This year the individual items to be photographed number 15. A good professional photo shoot would cost more then the strobes the first year. I have had pros take photos for me in the past and the results were lackluster.
I shoot with a IDII and a Canon 45mm TS lens. This is not my first rodeo, I just have never considered larger strobes so my knowledge is lacking.
You don\'t need \"larger strobes\" you need to use a few tricks. I am assuming the hoods to be similar to kind we are all familiar with. Go back to your hot lights and bounce some light off a large fome core board. That would be a better solution than umbrellas for what I again assume to be large squarish metal things. If you have experience in PS you can shoot with one or two lights using the magic of layers. Try to find the posts by focusinc showing how he lights interiors of motor home with multiple exposures.
Or hire a qualified pro....
