A. alnakkas, Jens, estcrh - thank you for your kind comments on my evolving photographic technique.

The greatest step forward came a few years ago when I invested in a Canon 5D which gave me a fairly fast sensor and a finely detailed image.

For the first couple of years I would take pictures on overcast days in my driveway - this gave a nice diffuse light, but usually the sessions would be cut short by the raindrops.

The driveway operation became untenable as I needed to photograph Lew's collection during winter and so I cobbled together the below studio around an old copy stand:

Lee,
You not only have a beatiful home, you also have a very good photostudio.
Thank you for posting the picture, and please add it to the thread - How to photograph - or whatever it is called. It may give others good ideas of how to make a studio.
Thank you very much
Jens
