Playing with effects

I care. So much I may have go into therapy. Also, if its not "heavy stuff" it must be "light stuff". Seems obvious to me.

I scourge my Photobucket account when it gets to 5 or 6 pages, so this photo has been gone for probably six to eight months.

And, events have overtaken it, anyway. Sitting here, I have a 3-light flourescent source to my right, a single incandescent about ten feet to my left, and another about ten feet away at about my 11 o'clock. The combination (with a little careful attention to camera angle), makes a pretty good substitute for daylight, as you can see from some of my more recent photos.

Edit: Taking photos with a white piece of paper underneath helps, too. I started taking pics with some stuff I drew because I thought it made an interesting background, then realized that the bounce from the white paper helped the light.

I've also found that taking photos from low angles cuts down on the glare, especially from blade bevels. I'm sure there's math that will tell you how far above your subject to be to get glare-free pictures, but I'm not that organized.

Why purge anything more than the 5th page?
So much free storage on PB, I have over 20 pages of stuff on mine and nowhere near running out of space

oh wow, ok
yeah I got the one folder and thats it
