to Photograph Marbles
MY MARBLE
PHOTOGRAPHY SET-UP
BLACK PAINTED BOX WITH HOLES TO SHINE LIGHTS THROUGH
2 CLIP-ON DESK LAMPS
HINGED SCAFFOLD TO CLIP LAMPS ONTO
CARD TABLE TO SET IT ALL ON
CAMERA TRIPOD
(Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera not shown)

Finally found a practical use for the
sybaritic bathroom, too!
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE BOX
There are many holes so that any marble
can be lit to show it to it's best advantage.
