Post your best current shots

[ddt0725]

Denise - I like them (a lot). You did not fall into the pit fall I did the last time I shot flowers... I brought a spray bottle, but ended up over spraying them. I like it better with a few drops. I did not see very much water so I kept spraying, and it wasn't until latter when looking at the shots on my computer that I saw I way over did it with the water.

Something that I have found works well on table top stuff is to use black velvet for the back drop (if you like black backgrounds)... it really keeps me from doing any PP to remove anything in the background. It does not show up any wrinkles, shadows, and the black background is unaffected by flash or other external light sources. Very light absorbing. All I had to do was go to the fabric store to pick up a yard of material real cheap (and it was difficult to admit here that I went to the fabric store).

Thanks! Actually, I was at the hobby store today and was just about to have the clerk cut a piece of black velvet for me when I changed my mind! I just thought that it would be too much of a dog hair magnet! So, instead I picked up these different color foam boards. Maybe next time I go, I will get the black velvet after all!

Dog (or cat) hair would be a problem... I did not think of that.
