lighting for set table

[jasper1889]

I have a job to photograph a large dining table at a hotel so knives forks wine glasses xmas crackers that sort of thing.
Any creative ideas as to how to light this for close ups and full table shots .

The overall lighting of both the table and shiny bits is covered in this tutorial
And lighting the detail is covered in this tutorial - and in several others in the same series on the Lencarta lighting blog
