Fantastic shots, Edge. It is not the camera... its your eye. The camera helps and hurts... you can't hide anything.

Are these natural lighting or indoor? Oscar hooked me up on the bet indoor light which made a but load of difference..

Why must you gear up as we approach pic of the year? TD, too. Gonna have some fun!!

Thank you Ken and Pax. I'm using a light tent with two small halogen lights along with ambient daylight indoors.

Looks good. Oscar is holding back on you. He turned me on to the day light lamps. I am using one overhead and two clip on desk lamps with full spectrum high efficiency bulbs which are damn near like fluoroescent... I had some big ass halogens and I felt everything was just oo sepia toned.

The pics look great and they are just going to get better!!

Halogens



Full spectrum



Do you see an appreciable difference?

Yes! the white balance is much more natural. That will be my next acquisition. You guys are going to make a 1/2 arsed picture taker out of me yet. A big thanks to you and especially to Oscar.

Model numbers and sources on the equipment would be MUCH appreciated.

Why, because I want to be able to take pictures that are at least 1/2 as nice as those here!yourock.gif

"No Cam Ken" or is it "Can somebody loan me a pic of my Watch Ken" Diss's me...then Pax says I'm holding out(I did tell Edge about the daylights)...but for some reason I still feel appreciated! snoopy1.gif............Edgel you are on your way to becoming more than just 1/2 arsed with the members here who have no problem in sharing and helping each other!!

When your pictures get that good, and they are very good man, I'm shooting with a camera with a limited macro and no lightbox, you can process the pics in photoshop to clean up any dust spots or adjust color in a specific area with the right plug-ins for photoshop like nikons filter pack.

I want to get into understanding a bit more of the photography side of it... I don't understnad my camera's manual settings too very much but am not adverse to mucking around with them.

And speaking with and watching the photogs here helps immensely. O, you know I have picked your brain and taken your suggestions to heart and it has helped me a lot. This forum consistently has great photography!!
