A couple of woo-hoos today. First, I have reached day 65 so only 300 left....woo hoo. Second, I made a light box that I was able to take the above picture in. Now, the positive is that I was able to take a picture because it was a rainy, gray day here and I am not sure I would have gotten a picture otherwise. The negative is that the only lights I have in my house are Ott-lights and they don't give off enough light which is why the background above is gray (at least I think that is the reason). I will need to play more but woo-hoo for a light box!!
Today I am thankful for the people on the internet that are so generous with their ideas, tips, tricks,etc. I first read how to make a light box over on PG's blog and he got it from over at Strobist I had questions and I emailed PG and he so very kindly took the time to answer my questions. So thanks Pat, I really do appreciate it!
awesome. I love that you have no shadows showing on the picture. I read something about white balance and you need to adjust it for the background and it will turn out whiter. still learning on this.
ReplyDeletestill thankful even though I still haven't answered the last couple questions you sent?
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i think white balance as much as brightness is to blame for your gray whitebox
look for a incandescent or tungsten setting.
Of course I am thankful for all of your help. You can't help it if I keep bugging you with more questions. grin.
ReplyDeleteI am using custom on my white balance. Setting it on the white space then adding my object and taking the photo, is that wrong?
See I even asked another question. lol
