Still Object

I have a little boy who is 4 years old and he has so many toys its not true. Quite alot of them bought by me as an excuse to play :). Anyway, one of his more nostalgic toys is a Slinky but, its not just any old Slinky its a plastic multi colored Slinky. Its colours are so bright and vivid I thought I would see if I could capture them for an abstract type picture.

Now ive had ago at still life before and never had much success, mainly I think to a lack of decent lighting and poor composition (what else is there). So today I decided to think about how I was going get setup to light and pose the slinky.
