black paper, put 3 CDs on it (upside-down).
set a tripod and put the camera about 1 meter away from it.
Turned off all lights, made a long exposure time, took a shot, while running with a flash in the room trying to put it in different angles to give all the reflections. (the light was always pointing at the CDs but not in the center so I didn't have too strong light)

Post-Processing:
NeatImage, Auto Levels, Crop, Replace Color (I chose the black background, with 29 fuzziness factor and -50 lightness, this made the photo much more smooth and hid the CD borders), Unsharp Mask.

it's hard to tell if more than just one light source was employed here, but one should assume that it was. it's certainly very pretty... did you consider cropping through the discs so that there was less black filling the screen? it's the wonderful colours that sell this image, so i think i would like to have seen more focus on that... 6.

Isn't there a rule somewhere about CD shots....just kidding....you got some very rich colors on these which I like, though I'm not sure how evident the mutible light sources are, I take it for granted.
