Glad you liked the Nikon shot. So here is pretty much what I did to get that one. The key was getting detail in the lens and could only be done in bright sunshine. Picture attatched.

Playing with light is where digital really pays off. A lot cheaper than polaroids. I wish digital had been around when I ran a works camera club. It cost a fortune in polariods as club members had a play.

Although I have a love of precision engineering I also enjoy doing things with the minimum of kit. Polystyrene sheets I got for free. One decent flash and the other is a 20+ year old Vivitar 283. I think the slave I have misplaced was only a couple of quid.
