Perhaps I should put in a pic of the scene without the lights to give a flavour. I will go do that now.

Here we go. A quick wide angle shot taken from as close as I can get at the moment to the original camera position.

OK...white background behind. A s/box slightly camera left...looks fairly close to the machine. The second light above the machine, fairly diffused so another s/box? Both light sources look square (hence s/box rather than brolly), but tough to tell with all those reflecting curves

Multiblitz plus softbox left of the lathe is dead on. As Foxy has yet to do his drawing this is the other kit used. SB80-DX at full power on a tripod connected to the camera to add light and trigger the other flash guns. Metz 45 at 1/4 power with diy softbowl on a tripod. Lastolite reflector The problem was keeping everything out of shot. I know the lighting is not very subtle but the machine is 3ft long and space between it and the other one on the bench is only 18 inches. I would have had to dismantle it to move it as it weighs a ton, but I chose it as the subject for the Challenge thread as it dates from the 1930's. Don |

Reflector above and to the left of the machine - bouncing light from SB80 (and metz maybe) onto top of machine, metz slightly camera-right and higher...any warmer? |

Pretty damn close Mark.
I think for any future ones we should list the kit used as we do not have any idea of the kit available to each contributor. See attatched pic. Don |

Another one for anyone that fancies a go.
Working space between the lathe and the bench opposite is 3ft so seriously space limited for camera tripod and lighting kit. Equipment used : SB80-DX undiffused on full power. Metz 45CL with diffuser bowl on full power. Large sheet of foil - actually it is foil covered bubble insulation material. Plus 3 tripods. Don |

Very nice image Don, whatever the lighting. I am going to have to skip this one...bags packed ready for a couple of weeks down in southern Florida, leaving in the morning

Blimey Don, I don't know how you've done it, but it really is a masterclass in sublime lighting of a tricky subject. Bravo Don, bravo!
