taking photographs...

So, I've been working on upping the quality of of the final photographs I've been taking. It's not easy.

The first think I've realized is I NEED A NEW CAMERA! But... gotta pay off some of the tools before I can go buying what I want (which is a Nikon SLR digital that I can interchange the lenses with my Nikon manuel.)

The second thing that I realized is I need to use better lighting... and what lighting is better that natural? So, I moved my light box out to the pool area. Because I'm using my light box, it is still possible to direct the natural light.

And third, I realized I need to start shooting on a darker surface... so I picked up some cheap $0.59 black poster board. It has a smooth surface and can bend (for a seamless looking background.)

So, this monstrosity is my light box...



And here are the re-do's of the Cosine Ring...




And some re-do's of the Dogwood Earrings (which are still available if anybody is interested!!!)

I like the cosine ring! I should have seen it when I was out. I forgot to ask :(

It is really geeky, mathy, and it is very cool.
