    I was messing around with my wifes camera last night since mine no longer works. I was taking tons of pictures and using all kinds of different settings on it. While doing this I was keeping a log on the settings, I would take 10 pictures and change a setting and take 10 more of the same things. this way I can duplicate the conditions just about anywhere.

    So I think I finally got this down, all I need to do is find my damn tripod, or if nothing else buy one becasue they would come out even better. Although I did find out that putting the lens up against the glass pretty much will steady it just like using a tripod.

    The really cool thing about it is these were taken with my regular lighting, no extra antic's or 20k metal halides. And I did not make changes to any of them on the computer at all, didn't even grop any of them! What you see is what it is!

    Really hope everyone enjoys them....
