io - Yes, the lighter and cigarette are mine - I really struggled with those pics because I have never used extension tubes before - thanks for the compliment though. I do really like your pic - the B&W, composition, textures, shadows, and lighting are all absolutely incredible ... there just something about the lighting and shadows that really captures me with this image - I already added it to my pbase favorites ... very nice job man. -jason

Thanks for your comments, guys. They give me the push to make the most of my modest means. There was an earlier version I had posted but I didn't like it. So off for another attempt: I took a 500 W halogen lamp and built an adventurous stack to put the board in the right angle. - Are you the Jason who has submitted the lighter and cig close-ups? The lighter is fantastic. The cog made me think of a ship engine at first view and only a second look and your title help to get its role in another, micro world.

I agree - the lighting is great and really sets this image off - incredible job ...
