Played around with the lightbox today and...

...here are the results.

What I did was I shot the background of the lightbox without the lens in there to obtain my custom WB. Next, placed the lens in the box, snapped away with some different exposure settings. I think these were shot with +2/3. Uploaded them in ACR and adjusted the exposure a bit and played around with curves. By the way, did I mention my 70-200 is sharp as hell?:) Ok, back to business...Set my white and black point and made the adjustments in CS2. Is there anything else I can do with these shots to improve on them? I'm trying to improve my PP on shots. I'm just really starting to learn some things about how to PP my shots and I've been reading up on all of the tutorials on here.

Thanks in advance.....and without further delay, here are the shots.

I think your blacks could be a little blacker. I did it the easy way. Opened it in ACR and set blacks at 23.

Thanks. I agree, your edit looks much better with the bump in the blacks. This is the kind of advice I need. Thank you again.
