    I will read the link you sent neuro and Bill W that's the same thing that happens when my dogs play with things too. I think if the toys didn't come apart then it wouldn't be as much fun.

    The Helicon Focus software might be a wise investment if I can land some professional product gigs. its seems like the Lite version would be fine for me. Thanks for pointing this out Neuro.


    This brings me to my next question. Can anyone who has the experience tell me how an extension tube affects the situation with DOF? Would a 20mm extension tube shooting this car have given me anymore DOF or less at f/16? Would it allow me to get more or less distance between me and my subject which has an effect on DOF? Am I using my affect and effect correctly? I still don't grasp when one should be used over the other where I've looked it up online and I still probably don't have it correct. Anyways I was approx 2 ft. away when shooting this car to get it to fill the frame.


    I would like to spring for the kinko extension tubes at a later date but I need to make some more money plus I want to buy a large softbox.

    What are you using for a set? Do you have any zoomed out pics?

    Foam core board from the crafts store. Two alienbee strobes one to left up high with 60 inch umbrella light reflected straight down. Second alienbee to the right and more in front aiming the reflected light out of the other 60 inch umbrella down onto the subject. I have different foam core boards bought at different times where they have different surfaces like shinny and then the other dull and textured. Collect a whole bunch of different colors and then your set for small scale backgrounds.

    I got these 2 guys when having dinner with friends as decoration on a dessert of some kind.


    got them home, planted them in an orchid, then took a photo of them on Christmas Day when mucking about with my lensbaby...
