lantern-y
OK, so we have seen the lightbox with a white background, but some things are going to look better with a dark background. I decided to try to play around with this a bit tonight. Overall I am happy with what I was able to get, but there are a few issues that I need to work out.
First of all my black background is not really that black, more of a faded out dark grey used to be black. I think my wife has some black fabric hiding somewhere that I think will work better than one of my old t-shirts. Secondly the exposure is not great, I had to make a bit of an adjustment in the contrast. I am pretty sure I know what the problem is. I am going to have to see if I can correct it in the camera next time.
Finally…the fucking lantern is too dirty. It has been in a box since we moved three years ago and it was really dusty. I knocked most of the dust off, but I missed some, and the glass is pretty fucking dirty. I will spend some time making this thing shine before I shoot it again.
