| The flashlight to the left by the door is aimed behind the machine and the one to the right is aimed infront. Threr is one on the floor that I used to bounce off the reflector and light the top to reduce/eliminate the shadows. |

Your setup makes me smile. I love the creativity (and recognize a few of the pieces...) I think there's a great shot in there with that old Singer sewing machine... maybe several. You might want to try some macro shots, too. My gut feel is that you're working with too little light (I'm no expert, so your mileage may vary...). You may want to try more light, and if you need to, darken it a bit in PP. More light should give you more detail...
You might also try aiming the flashlight at the top reflector instead of directly at the machine.

| A trip to Home Depot (or Lowe's - I'm not advertising here) will land you a few inexpensive "desk" lamps of varying heights and proportions. Nice to have variable wattage switches if you can get them, or make a dimmer box out of parts from the bins. If you'd like a better description of how to make one PM me and I'd be glad to explain. With several variable light sources you can set up the shot the way it will look best through your viewfinder. |
