Yep, I'm bored! Same setup as the egg (more or less).

Yeah, I forgot to widen the beam on the flashlight, so it blew out the highlights.

I'm gonna work on a stand that's a bit more permanent using a piece of ABS pipe that uses a lightbulb instead of the flashlight.

Add a rheostat to control the light level and vary the size of the hole and I should be able to get just what I want. I hope.
 
How did you do that? Shine a flashlight onto it and BAM photo? If so *grabs flashlight* I wanna try :p lol

if not.. how? Thats a really cool looking thing in the 2nd picture there.
 
Flashlight shining up through a hole in a box that the jar is sitting in. Basically, that's it. I used the bathroom, as that's the only room in the house with no windows in it.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :)
 
Your rheostat idea sounds brilliant. keep in mind that you should have a powerful bulb. As far as color temp goes, I think tungsten is easier to deal with than florescent. Experiment with screens and diffusion over the light source. I do not have to say "never forget the trusty bounce".
