Hi Hardscrable

Single color lighting never works unless the image is to be viewed in the same light.

Your eyes aren't fooled for more than a short time. They will try to adjust not only to fill in the blanks with help from the brain, but trying to force view to stay the way they first saw something, too.

Think about outside lighting, there is one massive source, sometimes harsh, directional and sometimes very diffuse itself and we are surounded by diffused and refracted light of a much higher (blue) temperature.
And that super hgh temp light is coming from every angle imagineable.

5500K is an average of the two conditions under certain ideal conditions, but never accurate.

Light tents come in all shapes and sizes, most with shading panels to create a directionality to the light and control unwanted reflections, especially on our tiny shiny subjects.

Photography Suxx! There's no defined sight picture or perfect squeeze for this.

I appreciate your attempt to further confuse me; it has worked.
I've talked with photographers (albeit over the web) about set-ups and camera settings.
It seems everything I'm told, and try, has a terrible effect. I've used camera stands with a timer, adjusted f-stop, and aperture settings, the lighting and diffusing, background colors (white, black, grey), but nothing works for me.
The only time I care about the color, is when showing my casts. Otherwise, I would take some classes.

Hello Greg

Deciding on what to have for lunch.

The Mrs. went with her mother, so I'm on my own.

Sorry to confuse!
I was trying to clarify some obvious problems we run into, especially with picturing our "tiny shinies." Those are the most difficult to capture faithfully.

Just follow your passion; your photos are perfectly fine.

No worries.

It's all of the technical jargon that gets confusing. As long as the sun is shining, I'll do ok. Of course, like today, when I want to take a pic, there's no sun.

The Mrs. and mother stopped back here and dropped off a Qdoba bowl. Not the best, but better than nothing.

I have offered a short taxi service for another neighbor soon.
Same group office conglomerate as mine, but different doc. Basically a mile away.

Not a check up drop off today. She is donating blood, bless her.

She has O-neg which I've heard is in extreme short supply most of the time.
They'll take all they can get!
