Playing Around

So I have been playing around with my new light system and am not super confident with it yet. Sometimes I just want avoid all the other stuff, like the promotions, sales, website update, photography, networking, etc, etc. In a perfect world I would just sit at my wheel and make stuff. But I guess the universe is telling me that I need to learn more. So here I am, fooling around with lighting and photoshop editing and hoping that I will learn enough to make my pottery as beautiful in a photograph as it is in person. Here is one of my newest product shots. I'm hoping that it isn't too bright because I know that computer monitors show images drastically different depending on their age. I am open to suggestions if you would like to help me out!

My New Light Tent

Yay, Hurray and other joyous noises! It's my birthday today and I received a huge package at my front door this morning. It was a present from myself. I ordered a light tent kit a few days ago off of ebay and it arrived so quickly! I have been struggling with my photographs for quite a while so I decided it was time to reinvest in my work with a light kit. I found a set that included 2 light tents with backgrounds, two tripod lights, a camera tripod and a fabulous carry case. I feel uber professional now! I spent all afternoon playing around so I thought I should post a pic of my kitchen table with all of the gear set up. Good thing my hubby is taking me out for birthday sushi tonight because our dining table has disappeared...
