Hi there

I finished my lightbox last week but tonight was my first chance to use it. Here are a few quick shots.

Comments and critacisms welcome. I am sure the shot will get better as I know what works and what doesnt.

Regards Darren

Not sure about the lily... not saying it's bad, but there's just something about it that feels out of place.

I love the wood shavings especially the first one. The second one is a little too phallic for my liking.

great shots.

love the color contrast in the lily.

The exposures are great but there seems to be bright spots. Not too sure whether this is a norm in a lightbox.

Nice shots. I like the lily composition but there is something not quite right at the bottom.

Hi MissKitty,

can you post the B & W would be interested to see.

Bama, the bright spots were direct flash, still experimenting with what works, I guess direct flash doesn't

Thanks for looking everyone, will post a shot of my lightbox tonight.

Regards Darren
