    Now that I look at it it wasn't dirty! headscratch.gif
    I did have my UV filter on tho.

    Bulbs I used are the GE Reveal 100w (Bluish Tint) supposed to be natural reading light without the yellow hue.

    Any input???ne_nau.gif

    I really like the 2nd one better. Looks a tad off level, leaning to the right a bit.

    Vase
    is really pretty, but I see dirt spots on the glass!:):

    Clean up the glass vase, add two black boards to either side, and try again... you'll get some neat edge definition -- clone out black boards and you are good to go.

    Here's a good site for you: http://www.tabletopstudio.com/

    From another website: Black "fill cards" were used to reflect a fine outline around the outer edge of the bottle that would have otherwise made it indistinct from the background, or "invisible" in the area where the hue and values of both were relatively equal.

    There are a few air bubbles in the glass....not dirty just imperfections.
    Have yet to figure out who made the glass but I do know it was expensive.
    Person that originally had it spared no expense on anything.
    That's one of 3 pieces I got.

    I'll check out that link. Thanx a bunch for all your help and motivation! thumb.gif

    It's a beautiful glass piece, BTW...

    But aren't you pleased with your first try at this? Pretty easy once you have a good setup :):
