Well it looks like you've got the lighting sorted, the only other thing i would ask is, are you using the macro function on your camera? Other than that, maybe move the camera further away and use the (optical) zoom to make the object bigger rather than moving the camera closer
LOOK HERE FOR INFORMATION
Hey ninjaz, would you mind posting a few pictures in this thread so we can see what you mean?
Perfectly white backgrounds are one of the most difficult things to achieve. I've tried stronger light bulbs, but it doesn't seem to help. The digital camera tends to "automatically" compensate for the increased light, and the desired white background really doesn't get any whiter.You'd be better off to try a colored background, perhaps a darker one that won't show the effects of shadow as much.

I see pictures you guys post (guys like Neil, Dave and other people) are just awsome - how you do it ?At the moment I usually get problems with shadows and things like that.Example - look on the "white background" - it got mixed colors there:(Image removed from quote.)I could go and clean it using Paint Shop Pro and make the backround disapper but there must be better way to make the pictures better:(Image removed from quote.)I think I need to get better light - maybe stronger bulbs will make a difference.

do you use a tripod? a remote trigger or timer? long exposures?I find those things as well as some tweaks to exposure compensation (check your camera manual!) help loadsIf I'm not holding the camera, I can set the exposure time much larger to not have to worry about blurring... having a good light source is definitely important.
What am I missing? That's a superb shot.Neil
