| Wow- you're good. Actually, it was a piece of clear plexiglas stretched across two chairs. I built the tower on the plexiglas and wiggled under it to get the shot. I tried it with several different lighting options, but nothing seemed to do it for me until I put the flash on. The room was quite dark when I finally got it right. It took WAY more time to arrange the cards than it did to actually shoot it (they kept falling). The trick was to get the top of the pyramid while still getting the edges of the bottom cards. Thanks for your interest. |

Details: Can you guess how I did this?
tungsten back or top-down lighting + iso 50 or 100 + flash + macro = dark background, even if the aperture was smaller. i just tried that the other night with a ram chip i have hanging on my ceiling light's string.
you have a glass coffee table that you probably spent 30 minutes cleaning before taking the shot.
if you're hardcore like me, you were lying under the table trying not to bump the cards out of position in order to - literally - take the shot upside down. |

| Interesting idea. I wish the lighting were a little more even. I can see the flat cards really well, but all the A-frames are darker -- especially the portion of the 9H in the upper right corner that's completely blacked out.. |

Are you trying to break through the glass ceiling? Good Crisp Focus
How do you get the Background so black and leave the foreground so crisp and white?

| This is a great idea. The lighting, focus, and angle of the shot are great! |

| the shadowing at the top of the photo takes away from the overall photo. |

| A very clever idea that worked, for me. Clever lighting which kept the background black and developed mystique. I wish I had thought of it, but I didn't |

| if it was impossible, this picture would be fake. poo poo....seriously though i would have liked it more if you had gotten the effect of the whole thing balancing on the tiny point at the bottom |

| Why's the top right corner blocked off? Seems like it could be another card, but why? Or part of a table? Neat idea. Good lighting. |

| Wow. Great concept. Nice execution. Perhaps add a dim light to fill the bottom story. |

Love the lighting technique!
Angle is great, and the slightly offset composition is a winner.
Would love to hear how you set this one up, too.
Great Job. |

| Great idea, but the shadow at the top and more-so the top right is distracting. |

| This is a nice shot! I like the composition and framing quite a bit. I suppose that this particular shot was hard to light. I would love to see some more light in the cards at the bottom of the 'stack'... good job! |

Yes, yes! good job, and a good photograph. On topic!
Nice work. |
