Picture lighting
Jim Andersen
>Many of you already know this but I learned something recently that I want to pass on to those who are not aware of it.
When I was taking pictures of my wood turnings I was not happy with the color of my pictures. I was using a light tent with rip stop nylon and two tungsten/halogen lights as was suggested here. It finally dawned on me that maybe the overhead lights in the basement were affecting it. I turned all of the other lights off and took the pictures at night so the only light was from my spot lights and it improved my pictures considerably.
The moral of this story is if you are having trouble with your lighting try turning off all other lights or try different combinations of lights until you get a satisfactory result.
PS: John, can you use this as a tip for AAW?
