Dull images

[Deborah]

We are trying to take product photos for a website. We are having mixed results.

The location -- an office -- has florescent lights overhead. But, we have three basic Smith-Victor light stands with http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Reflector.html reflector on them.

We have Eiko bulbs.. BBA 115-120 volts


Taken with Canon Digital Rebel XTi EOS 400D
Aperture Priority
F7.1
Av +2
ISO 800
Automatic White Balance


The young woman who works for me is trying to take these photos and she is having trouble getting consistent results.

She has tried changing the ISO, she has tried turning off the overhead lights with no change.

This batch looks very dull. What are we doing wrong?!

I hope I uploaded the photo correctly. I'm not around here much any more, but I think of PR often and visit the critique and viewfinder forums now and then. I see lots of the same names from when I was posting often... waaaayyy back there. My gosh, I started posting here in '99 I think... possibly early 2000. A long time ago now.

Thanks for any assistance.
