rbj69 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 very cool bigdoggy, what r u using for your lighting and what camera ? i have been taking pics for a while and i can never capture what u did and i try all the time lol
Bigdoggy Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Posted March 31, 2006 Joe: Camera is an HP 5M Pixal Series 945. I saw this setup on another forum & copied it almost exactly. Works great. This is the one I copied. I bought the lights at a camera store used - for $15 each they are almost identical to the ones pictured here.
rbj69 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 man i spent more time in my setup and yours is taking better pictures lmao, i will have to get me some of those lights, u wouldnt happen to know if u can pick up another couple pair for that price do u or even a bit more, lol
rbj69 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 i tell u though , there is nothing like the outdoors lighting, it makes a picture and its surrounding come alive, dont u agree? heres some i took outside on this beautiful day , enjoy

They were used & I just stumbled on to them.
XRT Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 Nice . Your light looks like an X-Ray light box.
eunomians Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 NICE combo!!! I know it's a Rolex subforum, but here's my combo (as seen elsewhere)

rek001 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 Really, really nice pix. Those light you bought - those are light boxes to view slides, right?

I saw the pic. of the homemade light box setup posted by a guy over at TZ - saw the lights in a Mom & Pop used camera store a couple of weeks later and bought them. They have a small florescent bulb in each fixture about 10/12 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. In any event, they work great.
rek001 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks for reply. I think those are light boxes used for viewing slides, or for tracing pictures. No matter, what I'm most impressed with is the quality of the color (so rich!) and detail in your pix. I'm now convinced that fluorescent lighting is the way to go, I'm using regular light bulbs in swan neck desk lamps for my mini studio set up and I think the color of the pics comes out looking kinda muddy and dead.

These were straight out of the camera - no touch up. I cropped several of these and downsized them so that I could upload them to Imageshack.
