The only thing i can think of is to maybe try and roll the camera up in to a cigar shape and then try to smoke it? Maybe.
Not sure how useful this will be with a compact camera though.
Hope this helps. |

| tripod, available light, and the appropriate manual settings at the lowest possible ISO and you should be fine. if you can, set a custom white balance. |

Ditto what  Skip said, and, if you have trouble with the glossy ones, try throwing a white sheet with a hole for the viewfinder, over the whole thing to make a light tent.

| The tiles have perfect 90-degree angles - and you don't want to ruin that with the distortion typical for cheap wide-angle lenses. Better use the tele-end of that camera to reduce distortion! |

Using the shortest self timer shutter delay will help with sharpness.
