I've been working on improving my very limited photographic skills for the last couple of weeks. I've read just about every thread on this forum and it has helped me a lot. I'm to the point now that pictures of my pens actually look like pens.
The camera I use is a Panasonic Lumix fz30. I built a light tent and covered it with bleached muslin. I've been using two small stand lights with 30W 5000k photographic compact fluorescent bulbs.
The results are getting better everyday as I learn more about lighting. Today I was experimenting with light placement and on a whim decided to try a shot with only the cameras flash. I was surprised how good it came out. The attached pictures are The same shot first taken with the stand lights, and second one is with flash only.
Tell me what you think please.
