well well...just been trying out home-made photo studio set-up...like white poster for white background n black poster for dark background...n since i click most of the table top shots in macro mode n my compact point n shoot's flash control is limited..i avoid using flash..n have set up a light source(home made again~a Philips CFL lamp n a 10W bulb..with holder n wires so tht i can move them around at differrnt position on the table..)n a piece of thermocole sheet as reflector..So thts the secret behind getting those macros without much glare on the object while yet getting tht bright white background..! n it did take a lot of trial n error to come up with it..!
my favorite piece of gadget on the planet!!!!
