Default Re: Well?

This is a simple but very effective light "tent" or diffuser made from two coat hangers, two pieces of wood dowel and some freezer paper taped into place. I find a two bulb four foot fluorescent light fixture works great. When taking a photo move your eyes around until you are in a position where the engraving looks best without dull spots and then put your camera right where your eyes were.

The diffuser can be lowered right over the object so that rounded items can be photographed with good coverage all around.

I'll post an example next.
