[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 13396, member: 1746"] [ATTACH]1455._xfImport[/ATTACH] Day 25 This is a test and only a test So we went out and bought some Orchids today. Not totally in bloom yet so I'm going to wait till they all open up before I shoot them and post. Been playing around with a DIY light system and some white and black fabric. So here is my first shot with everything up and running. Used fake flowers for this shot. DIY lighting is 3 "Blue light natural" 75 watt bulbs mounted in clip on reflector lights. (the kind you find at the auto store that look like UFO's) Not a lot of time to play today. Thinking about mounting dimmers on each bulb to get more control other than turning them away from the subject. My light percent on this shot was all three at 100% and I know it's the wrong setting, but in a hurry today to shoot and post. Not bad for $30. Something I'm going to be playing with till next year when maybe I buy some real lights / flash units. [/QUOTE]
