    I was messing around and I shot this:

    Not saying is great, but Its ok for what I used:

    Desk Lamp from Ikea

    White translucid wrapping paper, from my girl's closet
    (wrapped around the desk lamp to to diffuse light

    Black fabric
    I got it at a fabric store, but you could use a bed sheet or poster board of the color you want for background

    Piece of glass
    From an un-used frame I bought on a sale, put the glass on top of your background, and your object on to of the glass if you want a real reflection, as opposed to making a photoshop reflection that won't fool anyone.. :)

    • "film speed" = ISO, go low for studio shots. 100 if you can, but with a kit lens you might have to bump it up to 200.robs
    • nice shot, too bad your girlfriend's shoes are horrible! ;)OSFA
    • black velvet is ideal for backgrounds. It sucks up light and makes it easier to keep the background pure black. No reflections or spill.
