I've been thinking about a light tent for a long time, even though I no longer have my studio lights. Do you use studio lights or daylight?

I love the lighting you captured, the composition, and of course, the sharpness and clarity, beautiful color and tonality.

There is nothing sweeter than a winner when one has worked hard to achieve it. Congratulations on your winner, Chris!

11/18/2011 7:22:45 AM

Tremendously good, Christopher!! How satisfying to take something good and make it even better. Congratulations on the well deserved award (although it should have been 1st in my opinion!)

11/18/2011 7:29:51 AM

BIG Congrats on a spectacular Winner!!

11/18/2011 10:40:34 AM

Huge congrats on this spectacular win.

11/18/2011 12:34:30 PM

Many thanks, folks!
Bunny, I generally try to position the tent near my patio doors; it came with 2 small halogen lamps, and I will sometimes use those as well...

11/18/2011 1:29:47 PM

YES! Happy to see it. Congratulations on scoring gold Christopher!

11/18/2011 3:13:14 PM
