I may not have been clear. Should have provided visual examples before.
This is what I'm talking about
As you can see, the fur is extremely fine, the shadows are very subtle, and the look is impossible to pull off with my current top-down setup (four soft boxes surrounding the item on a white table). It basically needs to be backlit. I want these items to look like they are floating. Partly because of the way they are used, and what they are shown next to (other places than just Amazon--we put about 60 in our catalog this year), and partly because you can just plain see what it is better when it's perfectly depicted against white.
The plexiglass was my first idea for something transparent and rigid, so I can light the product from the top, and light the background from below, separately and just enough to clip into white without blowing out the product.
[EDIT] I think this is the answer! ... It won't be quite large enough for our biggest products but it'll cover probably 99% of what I shoot top down against white. The surface is translucent (or so it says) so I can backlight it. Thank you /u/headinthered!!
Absolutely. Yesterday I tested the PC sync cable by passing a pin over its tip (per instructions from pocketwizard) and it would trigger the flash but not consistently. Once I plugged that cable back into a pocketwizard, I’d get no response.
I’ve been trying to fix this problem for years, and I just bought a new PC sync cable, so I’m at my wits end.
Also, FYI, my external flash worked flawlessly when connected to my camera via a 10ft cable (see below link).
