Can't shoot outside? Do some table top. It helps to have a
house full of antiques.

    I like the detail and texture in this photo. What kind of lighting did you use?

    Daylight just inside an open garage door. The shot was taken using a tripod with
    remote release, 1/25 at f 4.8 and ISO 200. Shooting RAW and
    processing in Photoshop CS4.

    It wasn't actually "table-top" since the mat was on the garage floor.

    Thanks for the info. Never thought of setting up in the garage. I usually find a window when it's raining, but they never turn out. Will certainly give this a try soon.

    Thanks again :D

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    The advantage of the garage is that you can move the subject back into the garage
    far enough to avoid direct light and the resulting distinctive shadows.

    The problem is the time required in clearing out the clutter to make room for the set-up.

    We call that clutter the 'summer garage' :D
