lighting
Rhahe100
thank you.
3 pt studio lighting.
Yes my light kit is very close to the one in the video except mine has a few more bulbs, I have a 3300w 3 pt cowboy studio lighting kit.
Also shooting inside large photo cube.
Glare is a real problem, any light will produce glare at a certain angle.
Not that I know what I am doing . Just having some fun.

thank you . I have about 2500 pictures that really didnt do the cues justis at all.

Try indirect lighting to cut down on glare. Good luck !
Nice work Mike.
At 3300 Watts, are you sure that you aren't growing any pool cues as well?

dogs
my lighting system came up missing for a while,
and my dogs had a funny look on their faces , what do think terry?
I think they are holding out on me.
Rhale100.
that was taken with one 65w flo bulb defused twice , one soft box and the photo cube.
I have tried alot of different methods, you are right indirect light or very defused light.
I want to do a photogragh of a cue on fire

Finally a use for all those old Meuccis you have laying around.
MM,
Good to see the tenting I suggested way way early in your 'photo 101' thread is working out now. Using reflectors could also help soften the light along with the diffusers. The reflectors could also aid in creating definition of your subject when shooting dark on dark. It would be similar to shooting "black glass." Another option could possibly be the use of umbrellas to soften the lighting. Just some more thoughts for you.

Most of that can be fixed with a photo editor (Photoshop ie.). Gimp is a good freeware option.

Hi Rhale

I was a little cool on this one.

shot glass
Not all these pictures where taken for product photography. some of the pictures I made to be a form of art.
I am going to fill 2 or 3 shot glasses full of alcohol .try to use a fast shutter speed .
.
What I really need help with is picture stacking. I have lightroom 4
I was going to download magic lantern . so i can start to picture stacking.

There are definitely some color balance issues evident now that you've mentioned using flourescent bulbs. Also, the photos are a bit under exposed.
The 11 day time balance flourescent bulbs were provided in my studio lighting kit . with custom white balance , iso 100 f25 30 second shutter speed.

I have photo shop too. plus the canon software to work on raw files.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me. And all the suggestions.
