I set up a small stage on a table with a panel behind it and covered both with a neutral colored cloth, often a pale blue or an off-white. Then I set the object on the stage. The panel behind it needs to be big enough that it provides a complete background. There are other methods using multiple flash strobes and setting up a "tent" around the object to diffuse the light from the strobes. This can get a little complex. I don't do these types of photographs that often, so an elaborate setup hasn't been justifiable. If you start relatively simple and go from there, you can build up a method that works for you . . . and hope what I've provided can give you a starting point. To give you an idea of what my method produces I've uploaded a macro done some time ago of a Nikon SP Rangefinder Illuminator. A single "AA" cell fits inside the bakelite tube. You can see the mounting on the back which fits an accessory shoe. This will help scale the object's actual size for you. -- John
