You are an amazing photographer, Jocke! I always enjoy seeing what you will come up with next. So creative and interesting and such high-quality images.

Excuse me for not knowing more about your background...but is this your profession? Or is it a hobby? The quality and subjects of your photographs rival any professional pictures that I have ever seen.

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

Jocke, do you also use HDR in your shots? If so is it in camera or post processing? The set-up you showed looks like it would be brighter in the tent than is shown. Is that simply from stopping down or is the light tent more opaque than it appears. Also, what sort of lens are you using?

As someone that just recently got into photography (mainly for cars), I have to ask:
What camera and lens is that?

Sometimes I use a "HDR Effect Filter". The lens is a Zeiss Macro Planar 100mm.

It's a GMT 1675 with a coke bezel from a sapphire model, it not fits perfect.
