Description

EF100, f/8, 1.6 Seconds, ISO100, RAW, tripod, light tent.
I can't resist the color pairing of gold & blue, and love the particular blue of the light tent drape!
(This is a wine decanter stopper, with gold leaf applied to an inner layer, covered in more clear glass.)

Stunning and beautiful, Chris.
I envy you for your new toy, the light tent.
I have one, but it is not really satisfactory. No drape, no light.
Home made. What light do you have when you use the tent.? #5319540
