Well done Placid. Even with my lousy pics you nailed it. I am still soliciting advice on better pics. I got another set of lights, this time 5000k, I will try them and see if they work better.

Still working on my picture taking. Removed my old lights (3000 - 4000 k range) and put in 40 bulbs at 6500k. Comments on grade and advice on better pics appreciated. I am using a coolpix 5400 with white balance set, Aperture "A", F7.6, Manual focus on center of 5 brackets. Thanks.

    Hard to put a grade on it, but it's awful shiny. The reverse almost looks proof. White balance still seems to be off.

    And I thought my images were crappy! image

    Your images look "washed out" for some reason, try f11.

    I'm really sorry for picking on your image.

    I don't really have an excuse for doing so, but will borrow one posted last night by another member and just insert your name.

    Hope that's sufficient image

    First , I want to Apologize to Rob85635 for my response last week. It was uncalled for, and I blame it on my 2 bottles of Premier Cru Merlot , Coupled with my girlfriend golddigging me for $1000 in cash for shopping and never calling me that night. Anyway, it hit me in a bad way.....you see, and sometimes we never know what is going on BEHIND the scenes when one responds...(she has since been become my housekeeper)...
