Del 4,459 Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks very much guys. I've found all the advice very helpful, honestly. I know what I want to do (mostly) but it doesn't always turn out the way I expect! More practice is required but I think I'll give it a rest for now - my family are wondering where I've been all day! Akira - I'm actually using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I also have Photoshop Elements but haven't used it much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gianton 14 Posted January 7, 2012 Great shots mate, do you have a link where to buy the same light tent as yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisv 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Akira - I'm actually using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I also have Photoshop Elements but haven't used it much. I use an old cracked version of Paint Shop Pro 7, no need for anything more advanced than that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,459 Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks again guys, much appreciated. Gianton - here is the link for the light tent :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260746212207?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 It's pretty good for the money I think. Gets you started without spending a fortune, although I'm already thinking about better lights! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LHOOQ 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Those shots were in tents! (Groan.) Lovely photos, Del. I'm looking at your first thread now. I'm not sure what you did with the lights, but this batch is a big improvement. Really wanting a blue SOH right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted January 7, 2012 we have to work on your photography skills Jeff :P True dat! :Yawn: tssssssssssk...sour grapes Jeff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,459 Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks guys! (jeffw69 - ) And thanks LHOOQ - considering how amazing your photos always are, I'm delighted that you like mine! The lighting was certainly helped by putting the light tent in the conservatory where there is an abundance of natural light to supplement the table lamps. Until I get better lamps, this is the way to go for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw69 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Del Need to get me a tent too! Where'd you find that pic Sconey, that was actually pretty good for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narikaa 129 Posted January 8, 2012 See how an overall immersion in diffused light improves over those dinky 'spots' aimed through the tent walls And the spectre of white walls reflected in the black dials nicely avoided. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nunya 0 Posted January 8, 2012 I find these threads related to photographing watches very relevant. I've built a "poor man's version" of a light tent and have started practicing. The photos are way better than anything I have taken using natural light. I'm working on backgrounds and experimenting with lighting from different angles now. Hopefully, I'll some nice pics to post soon. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
