Small basket, placed on a mirror and then a little glycerin added for extra interest.
All of this is inside a small light tent.
While the basket, mirror, etc. was placed well back in the light tent (to eliminate glare from a nearby window), there was artificial light (a couple of desk lamps) providing diffused light through the fabric.
It's the long lighting period and small f-stop number that gives the detail in the twigs.
Thanks for sharing your setup. I learned from this. The detail is really nice and I am struggling to achieve that detail from my camera. I like the image. The puddle on the mirror really makes this composition nice. I think without that 'distortion' of the reflection, the image would be less interesting.
