Like this, especially the detail and light. I ordered a soft box from the link you gave on your egg picture. So thanks for that information.

Morning, Sharron, fanx for commenting/visiting this one. Am still learning and got a long way to go yet, but its fun practicing.

I set the light tent up outside on a garden table and only used natural sunlight for this one. Did a little dodging/burning and adjusted levels slightly in PS.

LOL - think I should be on commission for that link on egg post!!!!! I know of at least three people now that have ordered one from this guy......

Look forward to seeing some of your still life when tent arrives!!!



ps, make sure you look how the tent is folded once you take it out of its carry bag - I still haven't managed to fold mine back up!!!! LOL
plus, give fabric sheets a quick iron on your irons lowest setting - you would probably do this anyhoos, but otherwise the creases show too much (eeek)

Thought I would have a go with it today particularly as it's taken over half the house!! (cant get a cat to stay in it though!) Have posted my first attempt with a very small elephant ornament.
