Thanks guys. This is Olympus 5050
...my second digicam. My first one is Sony S75 3.3 megapixel, which I bought 3 years ago and honestly I think it makes better pictures than many cameras that cost 10 times more. Olympus is fantastist camera, though I am just on the begining of the learning curve, I already can enjoy it. What attracted me in Oly most af all was super macro focus, which really works.
I use have light box made of Staple's matt storage box (there is an excellent article on Timezone how to build such lightbox), couple of sheets of white cardboard and matt film (from art shop). I use two modelling ligh sources (you can you regular desktop lamps just as fine). Two most important ithings are good tripod and head (my favorite is Gitzo 1476) and correct white balance.
