    Here is a link to a photo that I posted on a photo critique website.
    http://photos.photosig.com/photos/52/90/1319052-a2c141524bd975a5.jpg
    For this photo, I used 3 halogen desk lamps from Big Lots- Less than
    $10 each. I placed the pen in a 'cocoon' from Calumet Photography for
    about $60, and placed 1 light on each side and one underneath. Make
    sure you have any flourescents in the room turned out as they will
    tend to cast a green tone on your photos. Place the cocoon ontop of a
    piece of glass or clear to frosted plastic and put the light a few
    inches underneath so as to not melt anything(halogens get hot
    quickly). The only Photoshopping this required was cropping and a
    slight contrast adjust. Shot at about 1/3sec exposure, at F4, with
    macro button turned on, from about 1 ft away. I used a Minolta
    Dimage 7i-5MP.
