Try using multiple light-sources at 30 to 45 degree angle relative to the object-camera line, and no flash.

Thanks for the tip. Anyone else?

There's not much that's new these days.

And darn it, Georg, ya let my cat out of the bag. My configuration is going to be quite different from the one in your link. A half-stop on a pedal? In a word - yes - but with a difference. It SHOULD work well, but we'll see in a couple of weeks.

Spring plungers can be had from McMaster-Carr for 4 or 5 dollars in various sizes and spring rates.

And Bent - I wished you a happy B'day on Skype.

Keep on truckin', folks, cause this stuff is really interesting!
