Thanks for the tip. I have tried a similar arrangement but the work lights really were not satisfactory. Most of my photography, at least of smaller objects, is done in our large guest bathroom, with a piece of foam core board over the counter and sink. There are two mirrors, an overhead light and two side lights which do pretty well but not the best. What I am considering is a kit or kits which I have seen on Amazon and a couple of other places which consist of umbrella style reflectors on stands and special bulbs which produce better light. They can be had pretty cheaply and a number of the kits have backgrounds and frameworks to hold them. Saw a similar setup at a lecture last Saturday. The speaker is a collector of very rare long rifles and he invited anyone in the area to bring their guns to be examined and about 15 showed up. He set up this little portable studio and took some pictures for his archives. I would like to be able to do the same thing.
