  1. flysmallie - Very nice. I use a homebrew light box with different color background inserts, and a couple of desk lamps. I also take pics of my brother's stuff he sells on e-bay, so the box comes in handy. I am lucky to have a tying/ photography room where I can leave my stuff set up all the time. I'll have to try your method, also. I like the results.

     

     

    Thanks. I like those light boxes, makes things simple. I don't own one but I have used them and they are very handy.

     

    I usually just use a sheet of printer paper and curve the back up into a background. Then smother it with flash and a small DOF. Presto.

  2. I use a setup similar to Henning except that I use the flash off camera and have no background at all. In the picture below the light is coming from the side and about 20feet directly behind that fly is my refrigerator. You can do the same thing if you don't have the off camera flash option by using a tying light over the fly and turning off your flash. Just make sure the room is dark except for that light and it's not bleeding into the background. Seems difficult but it's really easy once you get it figured out.
