Welcome to my photo studio

........OK so it's my bathroom. At the craft show this weekend I Met Becky of Art Under Glass, we talked about getting nice photos of our product. I like the white background photos that look like they are floating.I started out using a photo booth that I bought at a camera shop for $139.00, I could never get the lighting right so, I chase the sun all day for the perfect lighting in my back yard, and still have to edit, edit, edit in my COREL program but, ALAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Becky told me about the OTT- light, which "true light", so I decided to try it out I went to Jo-anns craft store the next day and whatta ya know, IT"S ON SALE!! It still definitely was not cheap,but I bought the large one for $127.00 and that was 50% off. I also got a small one for $50.00 ( I need two if I am taking pics of large items). OH... AND I looked to see how much the replacement bulbs cost $40.00 yes 4+0. she said hers has lasted for years.Becky told me to make sure I am in a room with the lights off,except for the Ott -light.

So my studio was created..which caused pandemonium in my house, apparently Sabrina thought that only mommy could use mommy's bathroom, but after some coaxing she managed to take the leap,obviously I need to mix it up in our house every once in an while :)

I took a few pictures, and played with the white balance on my camera. I managed to get some good shots with very little editing, I have some work to do, but here are the first shots. I think I will try to take some in my light box.

Taken with the light no edit

Photo with a little light tweak, I think it is still a little too bright, but I think it is an easy fix. This is still soo much better that the old way I took photos. the diaper cover would look like it was floating if the background of my blog was white. Click on the photo to see it on a white back ground. it is not perfect, I still see a small tinge of blue.

Just thought I would Pass along this cool tip, Thanks Becky, No more chasing the sun for me.

well I'm off to do some late night blog stalking :)
