    You should consider entering these in the Mini-Challenge #133 TableTop Photography.

    #1 and #2 would fit right in.

    Thanks, Richard. I personally think titles can make a shot (although the shots need to be good to start with).

    Good shots, Great use of light and composition. What did you use as your black surface?

    Thank you, Juano

    For #3 and #4 I shot them on a sheet of black reflective perspex. This shot of a similar set-up shows how I did it. If you imagine the camera where the red box-file is, sort of looking down on the objects, with the softbox light behind and above. I also had a side light on one side with a white umbrella.

    For the last shot I placed the screw on some black paper on the table, and I had a Lastolite black velvet backdrop behind. If you don't want to spend on one of those, then just a piece of ironed black velvet will do. It doesn't need to be very large. I allowed plenty of space to the left of the screw when shooting, then copied the screw and some black space around it. Then copied that to a new layer in CS5, moved it to the left, made it smaller in scale, and applied a radial (zoom) blur to it.
