Thanks for the advice.  I have been asked by a couple who are trying to start a
ceramics business to photgraph their collection so far.  I was going to use
available light by a window with a reflector, but I might try my T32 (on camera
with OmniFen diffuser) and my Vivitar 5500FD (off camera with TTL lead) as
well.

Any other advice from anyone on backgrounds or lighting - I'm going to get paid
for this if I do a reasonable job!
