How the West was won...

Still playing around with my homemade lightbox from the lighting forum...

Very nice job you've done here.

That lightbox thread is awesome isn't it? I'm still having a blast with mine as well. Best $30 or so that I've spent in a long time!

The only criticism I have of the photo is the loose threads on the stars. I just wish they were trimmed up a bit to clean it up more. Other than that, very nice!

Yes the lightbox is great! Thanks for the comments on the stars. You can't see from the picture but the flag only has 48 stars. That's a little history for ya!

So. Cal? I thought you guys outlawed all your firearms...haha. Really like the idea, might need to try something like that myself.

I suspected as much from the stars as they are arranged in similar rows and not offset. Must be some history in there that I would love to hear!

I also noticed that the stars are not embroidered, a term I specifically avoided since it was obvious to me.

Great image!
