Terry,

Long ago, I was a commercial photographer, with an emphasis on hi-tech and special effect product work.

So I can envision an end result and jump through whatever hoops are necessary to achieve those results.

That said, the setup for this photograph was embarrasingly simple... but used some special, non-photographic equipment in a not very obvious way.

I posted some details of the setup on another forum, but thought that it might be more entertaining for WC members to think about it before I explain the configuration.

One hint though... this setup is only really useful for small items.
