[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 33743, member: 1746"] Thanks Anthony, not shop lights. I used 3 clip on reflectors (the kind that look like an UFO with a clip) with three different watt GE Reveal light bulbs instead of tungsten bulbs. Copied from GE web site: GE Reveal bulbs make colors "pop" in a way they don't with standard incandescent bulbs. Why? The rare earth element neodymium that's in the glass. (It's what gives these bulbs their distinctive blue color when unlit.) When these bulbs are lit, the neodymium provides a pure, clean light by filtering out much of the dulling yellow cast common from ordinary light bulbs. The reveal bulbs due help cut down on the yellow, this shot still took a good size white balance adjustment on the RAW file to knock down the yellow. No diffusers are in front of the bulbs right now I have to make some that should help soften up the lighting a little. Without dumping a lot of money into this light project, I like to add dimmers to each light to control each light independently a little more. If Santa does come early this year, he better have a least one piece of fast glass in his bag, or he may find himself tied up in my basement studio being held hostage.:p Here's the RAW file converted to JPG before any adjustments, I had my work cut out for me.
