Talked to Tradewater this afternoon and he got to talking about photography for awhile. Got me motivated to get off my duff and try to put a lightbox together finally and try to take some decent pictures for a change. Let me preface this by saying my camera is probably 4 years old, has been beaten up and bloodied, and dropped in the sand more than once. I know nothing about photography other than what I have seen other people go on about here, and they almost always have a much bigger camera, so to say I am blundering through this would be putting it mildly.
The first three pics the only things that changed aside from some knife positioning (due to a rather ill-tempered cat taking exception to my work area) the only thing changed is the position for the lights, nothing else. The last one has a different backdrop to provide contrast. Both the white backdrop and the red one were purchased this afternoon, so they still have fold lines and fuzz on them. Anyways, here they are.
The next set are the same exact pictures with a very minimal amount of post-processing done in Photoshop CS3 (Auto Contrast image adjustment).
Anyways, I think my choice, for this round at least, is picture number four after a bit of processing. Colors seem a bit more vibrant. What do you folks think?
