Let The Camera Think Setup
A few refinements over yesterdays setup as well as the change from green to orange.
The glass jar is still sat on a sheet of glass painted white on the underside. This is sat on a raised shelf to allow the light to be placed below.
The light is an 11watt spiral CFL lamp mounted in a Pringles tube snoot, which is lined with white printer paper, to soften the edges of the lit area.
The background is a sheet of orange FunFoam, postioned approx 6inches/150mm behind the rear edge of the shelf and subject. The background curves forward above the jar and the front edge is resting on a couple of pieces of black card, folded into a V shape to make them freestanding and placed on either side.
Another V shape piece of black card can also be seen hanging off the top of the background in an effort to give more negative light to the threads on the top of the jar, but I'm not sure it contributes much. It does though help block the room lights and prevent reflections from the rest of the room, yes the room was not in darkness though it appears that way.
The result is shown below.
