Shedding layers is a painful process. It comes after being dull for a long time, forgotten and obsolete. The outer surface that has kept you hidden is scraped off to reveal a newer version of you, One that seems brighter and more colourful. Use your time well before you succumb to dullness once more and begin the process again.
experiment with home made light box – a learning experience
Lovely shot and text, Louise. Nice work with your light box; my spouse made one for me last year. How do you light yours, if I might inquire?
Well, it’s still a bit of an experiment at the moment. I’ve chopped up a box and the sides have windows made of a sort of tracing paper. I’ve got two desk lamps (both 60W, warm white) that I’ve used and tried a couple of things – one on the left and right at about 45 degrees each, but also tried one from the top and one from the side. This shot isn’t the perfect ‘white’ you see in stock images, I can’t quite get that but I don’t really mind the tone in this one. I’ll keep playing around with it.

Beautifully done Louise… ;o)
Thanks Colin, it’s a steep learning curve and although it’s not perfect, I’m happy with it for where I’m at so far. Thanks for your encouragement! :)
