Figs

Figs, my favourite fruit! Or on second thoughts, are these red onions? No, they’re figs! That’s a beautiful filigree candle-holder, Again that rather sensuous ‘film noir’ feel to this, like the plums and scales image👌 Am intrigued with how much energy you put into these images, Janet, and the fine results you get. Good luck with the light box ☀️ Dave.

Hmm, a little nightlight may do the trick, I will test it out and see what happens.

Interesting. It would be good to see your setup cos I can't visualise your shadow box. How does it differ from a light box?

Flighty figs fortuitously fashioned, fotographed (sic) and framed fabulously.

Thanks everyone. Dave, wonderful to have your UA, thank you. Robert, many thanks for your GEA, so very complimentary. [quote]Flighty figs fortuitously fashioned, fotographed (sic) and framed fabulously.[/quote] I'm not even going to try and say that out loud !! ;) [quote] How does it differ from a light box?[/quote] I will try and answer your question Fiona. For me, a light box lets the light [b]in[/b], a shadow box keeps the light [b]out[/b] except from above. I have made mine out of a cardboard box, so, open at the front with a moveable/removable top. All painted black on the inside or lined with black paper/material. The top has a slit cut in it, just about in the middle, with a length of cardboard cut a little wider than the slit so it can be moved over the slit to control the amount and direction of the light. Then, a light of whatever source coming from the top only. Therefore it creates shadows on the base. I can slide in different bases on the bottom, depending on what effect I am looking for. I will try and find a decent link and post here shortly.

Nice mod Willie, thank you.

Excellent colours Janet, and arrangement too! Watched your link. Looks so easy to do the shadow box, its the arranging and taking the shots that get me flustered. You must have the patience of a saint!
