Thanks Dan,
When I first started taking pictures especially of my carvings, I could never get good results. although I’ve gotten a little better at it, this tutorial should help me improve even more.

Well … my photography is getting better. Made a major step forward.
Built a portable lighting tent,... found some cheap white nylon material and bought a couple clip on lights.

Tent frame is made from some $1 bft cherry that I have been packing around for about 10 years.
Dimensions are 42 inches wide & 36 inches tall with hinged 36 inch sides. Table top design.
Cloth is then draped over the wooden frame and lights are pointed to shine thru the cloth.

Photos have almost no glare or shine, much clearer, not as dark or shadowed.

Thanks for the link, Dan. Basically I just point, click and hope the picture comes out ok. This will help to develop my latent photography skills I am sure.
