Shooting Star

Okay, I have spent about two hours today and a bunch of tape fixing what can best be described as a mini-studio.

I saw this somewhere, somehow - it's amazing how if I really sit still long enough at the computer I can find all kinds of things and never really know how I got there.




This is a link to the spot where I found out how to make a cardboard light box or whatever they call it. Anyway, I am really looking forward to playing with this, not because I may start selling small items on Ebay - who has time? - but really because I just love making stuff and seeing if it will really work.

Needless to say I am already happy with the results, and this from simply holding a lamp next to the box while shooting the picture. Actually, I balanced the lamp on my knee while shooting the picture, and not even using a tripod as suggested in the article.

Read the article if you are interested in photography. I love the stuff he does in the article linked at the bottom of the link above - he uses granite and foam board to make a picture that looks like it could be in a magazine or catalog. Amazing.

Expect to see some odd stuff from me. But just for fun - lol. And here are a couple of my first shots.
