I believe I see the light at the end of the tunnel....bad pun. There is hope and I might be getting the hang of this lightbox thingy

First of all I changed backgrounds. The white was too plain and boring for me.
Second, switch from shooting AV (cause that is what I'm used to) to M. This made all the difference in the world.
Third, I had all three desk lamps turned on.After looking at these again I noticed a fill light is needed directly in the front and I REALLY need to clean my sensor. BTW...I posted these before I read some of the great advice in my First Timer @ A Light Box thread. Oh well, guess I need to shoot some more.:lol: :lol: C&C welcomed.

what background did you use?

I went to Michaels (a local craft store) and bought some type of poster board.

Hey sonny these are great! That blue background definitely gives it a bit more kick than your last showing. I'm in the process of building one of these things right now myself.

That background has a nice texture to it to break up that blue too. Good job, I really like these.

Great shots, Sonny. Really like the blue bg. Maybe a fill light on the Ryan ones, but wouldn't it be too much on the others? Baseball. Great game. I've got 6 games in the next 5 days. Can you pitch?
