[R-390] photo taking

[Jim Brannigan]

Lots of good ideas.....
I wonder if it is easy to "pop" out the magnifier lens in the round shop 
light, then shoot thru the middle and have the advantage of the circular 
light.
I'll have to look at mine.
I'm shooting with a digital SLR, so it is easy to experiment.
