You want a very large light vs. the instrument. In school we used hot lights reflected off 4'x8' white panels to give a soft, even overall light, but you could do strobes the same. A big light tent should work. Move the lights back so that the whole tent illuminates the instrument without hot spots. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
