My turn to share! Macro/Light box photos

[Breanna]

I made it from the Strobist tutorial. Super easy to make, and even with my horrid yellow shop lights, I was able to make it work. Also used my speedlite, but since it can't come off camera (I have the 420ex) it didn't do me much good. I did a lot of cooling done in PS, but I'm okay with that.

Just random stuff I threw in there for practice...

mmm a snot sucker (#2)

there seems to be a scratch or hair on your lens...

Yes, that is dirt and a dog hair. hahaha. I didn't really care to edit those out since these are just for practice. I have a 5 month old, that booger sucker was the closest thing to grab and throw in the box. lol

Nice results it looks like your white balance is off just a bit more so on the second photo than the first. Also there are some that will say close down the aperture to get the whole item in focus. I personally dont mind the wider aperture and shallow DOF on this shot.
