I used the flashlight setup with the headphones I posted in my gallery, and a glass jar with sand and shells I posted back here.  (There's a third one still waiting in the wings.)

Ronnie says he doesn't own a flashlight.  Whatever low light setup he used for his headphone shot was something else.  (He was tweaking me about shooting headphones, not about the lighting setup.)  :)

There are so many wonderful ways to do low light!  Ronnie taught me the first one I used (shooting coins and thimbles and bells and whatnot).  That one used a table lamp three feet to the right of the subject and up a bit, with a cardboard or newspaper reflector to the left.  I've played around on my own with a few others.

I love seeing what other people are coming up with, and how they're using setups that we've talked about back here.  That's what this is all about! 

Yay!  :)

I still haven't decided what I'm going to do for my third shot, but the month is only half over.  I'll decide in time, don't worry!  :)
