Very nice pictures. Do have your own backdrop or photo box or something like that?

Oh yeah, would also like to know how the temps and noise are on that card.

Thanks.

There are cheap versions on ebay (scroll down a bit). I have used poster board, foam board, and even white canvas to use as a backdrop. The lighting is the key;)

these bulbs have the wrong light color, you need either coolwhite (whiteblueblue) or warmwhite (whiteyellow). also, they are probably not natrium steam lamps, or even energy savers... only these would work, besides some prototype LED ones;)

pretty good idea with the selfmade photo booth, i may have to steal some nice ideas here! :p

Nah, don't do that stuff anymore... ;)

I just like the color of them better. It seems if I use regular bulbs, the pictures turn out too warm, especially for taking pics of hardware. Anyway, I have a new camera I need to learn, and who knows - this one may like the warmer colors better...
