Thanks for the compliments on the photos.

I shoot using a background of black low reflectance cloth called Duvtyne. The stage is a basic thing made up with CPVC plastic pipe and a backing board that curves from vertical to horizontal under the object being photographed.

I'm using a Nikon digital SLR with one of their fixed focal length 60mm Macro lenses. Light is a soft daylight balanced Fluorescent, and it could also be done outside in a shaded indirectly lighted area.

The dust and hair visible in some of the photos is courtesy of my Bearded Collie Dogs.
