Due to the highly reflective surface great care had to be taken in lighting the scene with flash. A large diffused flash was used forward of the scene to provide top light for the camera. A single flash was aimed at the front edge to take advantage of the reflective nature of the base. Light being bounced to the gold boxes and then reflected back into the scene.
The hardest part was positioning the lens box to reflect the logo onto the camera info screen. This could not be seen in the viewfinder so positioning was trial an error.

Brilliant idea and photo. On close inspection it is possible to notice a soft shadow caused by the black flag on the wide shot in the D100 and gold boxes photo.
