Hi Lane,

Just stopped by and took a look at the GRAND re-opening!! Pics look great, you may still be having a little pinky overtones, maybe filter out the red a little more, although my monitor is JURASIC, and may just be making it look that way....................glad you didn't take my advice on the lighting issue. I went to art school in the mid 80's, and I guess I forgot more than I thought!! Please forgive me if I sounded like a "know-it-all", I guess, at least with lighting I am rather a "not-know-it-all"....... :roll:

Speaking of pics, I JUST yesturday figured out how to use my little digicam and took some WONDERIFIC, (if I do say so myself) jewelry pics with it in my new light tent (wish I could say I built it, but it came in a cardboard box in the post )

I would love to show some of my best shots off, so if you could just tell me how to upload pics, I would be EVERSO greatful!!!! Lovehound made a valient attempt at giving me a little tutorial, but he might as well have written it in Hungarian!!!!!!!! :?

If you don't have time, I totally understand........... I just wanted to do a little bragging, so it isn't really necessary....

Keep up the good work with the new cam!!!!!!!!

tootles,

Della

1.. Lane you are REALLY good at this! I've learned a lot.

2. I didn't think you could use regular bulbs the way you did, but I think I'm going to try it myself.

Do you mind my asking, what did you build your light box out of? I tried one with cardboard and tissue paper, but it didn't work out. Too small for the camera I have. I will keep trying though. I'll post pics when I'm done. I would love your input on it.

Then I usually remove my background with my paint shop pro, the background eraser is my best friend.
