Here Comes Trouble!


I got some great advice recently from Birgit, Kaz and Steffels about what kind of bulbs or lamps to try.
I took a few test shots to see how my new lights would affect my photos. I really like them!



What do you think?



I moved my lights to the front and one of them is still up above but more to the front. I think it looks better, but now I've got those glares going on cause the glass is reflecting. I need a diffuser or a light box. I'm just afraid that might dim the lights just enough to make my flash fire though. x.x

any ideas?

For this nail art I used painter's tape to get the straight lines. This is the first time I've done nail art, and although it was difficult and time consuming, I'm quite pleased with the results!
