OK...I decided to move & reconfigure my home "studio" today. These are the first pics from the new set-up. Critical analysis of the lighting, sharpness, lack of, etc...is appreciated.
These were taken with my Canon XSi using the 60mm macro lens by Canon. The white balance is set to tungsten. Illumination was from two desk lamps. The lamp to the left was closer to the piece & almost shining from the side. The light on the right was in front, to the right, behind the camera.
