, mechanic's dream girl, that's cute.

oh wow, that's a great detail point. This forum is great! I wonder how I could've done that. I saw another post on here about ghetto lighting and you would've had a good laugh over what I did to set this up. I used a stepstool to put on the back of my couch and propped it up with a pillow. Used a white sheet of paper to put the gears on and a white t-shirt to cover up the window. OUtside was cloudy and snow everywhere so I had a lot of natural diffused light. Hmmm, I had turned the ceiling light on but it wasn't diffused enough and I had a couple of "hot spots" reflecting. Maybe aluminum foil on a piece of cardboard would've helped a little. any suggestions? This was a macro shot so my camera was about an inch or two away from the closest point of the gears.
