This photo is one of my products, I'm retired from that now. I added some cedar 5/4 lumber to my photo area for background color and texture. With printed publications, black and white/grayscale was the only option because of printing costs. Now that I've gone digital CD's, color images possible and many, many wil fit on a CD.
Enough techno talk (I know enough about computers to get me into trouble).
First try at the new background, it's removable from the photo area which has white/gray painted cedar boards. The image was Photoshopped.
The photo area. At one time I had 4 lights on the setup and will buy some more, Home Depot cheapies.

Very nice candle holder, and the pine boards really make it pop. As far as the lights go have you tried a light box? My wife fiddles with photography and found info on how to make one on some photography sites.

I made made a light box but didn't like using it, the photos I shoot are mostly tooling, projects, some knives, etc. and are OK for my needs. On one knife forum, there is a photography thread with several professional photographers posting ther regularly. They do primo work, blade Magazine quality.
Thanks

Grant, some of my Mt. Man tooling is red oak and forged iron, need to take some photos, here is a Oak and Iron project done perhaps 25 years ago, a forged seige mortar, about 1.5" caliber, black powder. Before we had neighbors, I'd shoot it often along with other small black powder cannons. But now only July 4th and New years eve.
The mortar barrel is 5-6" in diameter.

tried to delete one photo but no luck, what the heck is going on.
Have a second story deck, about 90' away across the street is a power pole with transformer, we used to have deck parties, make wadded newspaper, wrapped in duck tape projectiles and shoot at the transformer, there was some beer involved:bounce::bounce::bounce:
