    There was a really nice article in Digital Camera Magazine a few issues back about using a laptop screen to create a backdrop for product placement shots, and using a sheet of glass balanced over the keyboard to create a reflective surface.

    My first try using this method was with a miniature bottle of Crystal Head Vodka, and a red backdrop on the laptop, I had a lot of fun trying this out, and will definitely be trying it again with other items.

    I used my Nikon Zfc with the 50-250mm Kit lens to take the following shot:

    and here's pretty rough photo with iPhone just to demonstrate the setup:

    for some strange reason the second picture has come out upside down lol

    I’ve been playing around with using an iPad, or iPads, as virtual sets myself. (Post to follow.) Much fun!
