How do you guys get the 100% white background?

Several of the reviewers have posted that they use some style light box. Some have made their own but you can get a decent one on ebay for a good price. I'm sure someone will give you more when they read your post

  How do you guys get the 100% white background?

 
Its kind of off-topic but I'll explain quickly.

 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

You need:
 

1. Cheap light box
2. Decent camera (preferably with manual mode)
3. Decent flash that can pivot upwards (for bounce flash)
4. My secret trick to lighting quickly is an LED Bar Light

 
The secret to getting a white background is flooding the tent with light, either by bouncing a flash of the roof quickly Or, for the photo we've been speaking about recently flooding the light tent with the LED bar light. The more light you can get into the light box, the better results and the less editing required at the end with photoshop (which almost all photos need a little touch up)
 
I was sick and tired of using outside lighting shining in the sides of the tent which never get the best result.
 
So I bought this rechargeable light bar I flood into the tent. (lights it up like heaven)
 

 
No other lighting, no cables, plugs, just get the photo setup, shine that light into the tent close to the subject with one hand and BAM take the shot with my Canon G16 in the other.
 
Little editing at the end.

Lightbox, as partly seen in the first picture.

Ah, so the powder mystery is solved. Stand down on the order to call the Politzei out

Yeah, 500 grammes of pure quality stuff, mate. They're storing probably hundreds of kilogrammes of it in the supermarket. Good for baking (or getting baked? Probably not so healthy to inhale, smoke or inject that stuff, but swallowing it doesn't cause any harm at all), you can make good brownies with it. 

 
And the best part is that here in Germany, it costs around/less than €1 per kilogramme.

I was just hoping you were baking up some Kirschenmichel, Kirsch Torte or maybe Leipzig Larks

I miss the days of being stationed in Germany, awesome country and awesome food

Are those bullet shells?

That's Scareface's rig

Yeah, shell casings from shot blank ammo from 10 or so years back when I thought it was cool shooting firework projectiles on New Year's eve with a blank gun. Polished one, sanded the other and halfway sanded and then polished the the third, removed the popped green cap.
 
I made the arrangement for this photo:
 

 
I needed to be careful not to breathe too heavily in order to decrease the danger of getting the wheat flour into the gear or in-ears.

If I have the time for it, I probably make another one with the FLC8s.

Just received my FLC8S today. The standard config was way too bright for me. |joker|'s config was still too bright.
 
So I tried blue nozzle, grey bass and red sub bass - they turned into LCD2.2s and I'm loving them to bits

I love the fact they have so many options and then like your favored set it shows we do all hear just a little differently. I still think the FLC8s is a lot of iem for the money
