I thought it might be valuable to share some tips and tricks with each other about pen photography. I'll get the ball rolling:
I found a thread on the internet recently about making a cheap lightbox. I think you'll get all you need from the pics as I can't seem to find the link I followed! It works brilliantly and cost very little (biggest expense was a pad of A3 tracing paper for the translucent panels on the box sides). As you see I just use a couiple desk lamps for the extra lighting and I have a very old Canon EOS 300D with an 18-55 lens, I shoot on macro setting.
