Sorry, missed responding to your post in my last one. Yes, it's a DSLR. Just cheapie as that's all I could afford though. Canon EOS 1000D.

I don't have a fancy setup with lighting rigs and a dedicated studio. It's amateur hour with me behind the camera. I just like it as a hobby and it's something I've gotten into a bit more in the last 12 months or so.

All my photos in my galleries have been taken on my dining room table. I lay some white cardboard down which has preset placement marks on there for consistent photo angles and ease for editing. I then shoot in natural light for a nice neutral photo which seems to work well when it comes to editing. Then it's batch processed, loaded into Photoshop and about 5 mins to crop, tweak levels and erase the placement lines.

It's a bargain basement approach, but it's all I've got.

Here's a before and after just to demonstrate the difference between the natural photo and the finished product:



Regarding the Steel Cases, I highly recommend them. Visually they're great to look at. Universal has released some fantastic ones here in Australia and Gladiator, although not quite as rare as some just yet, is IMHO definitely one of the more striking ones. It doesn't have the bold red of Smokin' Aces or Inglourious Basterds but it looks pretty damn classy in person.
