<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1292022, member: 29751"]I use a Canon SD1400IS Point and Shoot mounted on a copy stand. I set the camera to timer mode to avoid hand-shake, and I use the Macro setting (the little Tulip icon). For lighting I use three small LED gooseneck lights from IKEA. I position the lights high right next to the camera and as high as possible without the camera causing a shadow. This high lighting means less shadows from the devices than side-lighting. You can see the lamps I use at this link: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>I hope that helps! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And thanks for the comment on my new cent.
