I hate to open another Pandora's box (Festool'ed hell outta the budget
last month), and although I've done some beautiful pieces, doing
justice
to the beauty of the wood for presentation purposes has always been
problematic for my limited equipment and skills. Judging from your
example, HDR is indeed something to explore in that regard.

I really can't advise you in this regard as I am as clueless as you are
in
this department. And I sypathyze with having to spend big bucks on some
tools. I need to do similar things as well for my business, And forgive
me
for pointing out the obvious.

You CAN deduct the cost of a camera since you are definitely using it for
business.

Check the tax rules, but around here it would need to be pro-rated based
on amount of business vs personal use, and it would also need to be
depreciated over multiple years.

If it is bought for business use, it can be deducted directly under Section
179. That is in the USA. I don't know what is done elsewhere. Presently we
are allowed to deduct up to a little over $100,000 a year. If you do this,
you are not allowed to depreciate it.

Can you spell "Festool" and Sec179 in the same breath, you betcha sweet ass!
