Taking photos of silver coffee pot

[pfbm]

What settings are used to take a photo of a silver or silver plated coffee pot set?

Greetings,

Inside, outside.... under what shooting conditions? 

What gear?

Think about it?  Impossible to make any recommendations based on your question.  Sorry...

You probably want a light box or shooting tent to control the reflections

Syl Arena's "Lighting for Digital Photography" has a section on photographing wine bottles which would probably apply here.

Rick has a point.  Nobody can give you any suggestions without more info. If it is not just a snapshot one thing for sure you will need a good post editor like Photoshop.  So just exactly do you want to do.

I agree with Rick.  No one can answer that question for you.  

For comparison, it is like asking how far do I need to press the gas pedal in my car to climb up this certain hill.  The best [way] to [answer this] question is only experience will tell you.  Every car is different, as is every road, gas in your tank, and the incline and length of the hill.

The settings themselves will be the easy part. What will cause you pain is dealing with unwanted or mispositioned reflections. It may depend a lot on what kind of setup you have (off-camera lighting, softboxes, backgrounds, etc.) Since I don't do studio photography (and therefore don't have that stuff), I guess I'd start with bounce flash and try to grope my way from there.

Photoshop  No problem.
