Glass Beaded Aluminum El Grande

[Stevej72]

Here is a picture that I took using Gerry's tutorial. It is an aluminum El Grande that has been glass beaded. No other finish on it. The picture shows the light tent I used with three 6500K bulbs. I used the 18% grey card to get an exposure of 1/40 at f8. And, I used my expodisc to set the white balance. I tried the auto and a couple of the flourescent preset white balance settings, but they didn't work.

I plan to get the plexiglass and 5500K CFL bulbs that Gerry recommends.

Looks to my like the lights you have work. I wouldn't spend the money on different ones.

Thanks, Gerry, my wife already think I spend too much money.
