[R-390] photo taking

[Bob Bruno - K2KI]

What I have done here to avoid the flash reflections is to tape a piece 
of tissue paper over the flash tube. I also make it a habit of shooting 
through my lighted magnifier. You know, the kind on the extension arm. 
It takes great pics plus the light from it illuminates the piece very 
nicely and thus prevents the flash from going off. I use the CFL bulbs 
in it. They light pretty evenly.

Here is a link to some pics that I took of my Drake L4-B using this method:
