Title: A Bowl for Tyra!
Post by: Ken on June 04, 2012, 03:51:51 PM

This bowl that I'm making for Tyra is still a work in WIP, but it's close enough so that I'm feeling good about being able to get it finished without breaking it like the last one, as seen here >... Just in the nick of time! (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=2996.0)

Tyra's bowl is finished!  :2thumbs:
It turned out good, but it deserves a better photo than this one and the other two in Her Album (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=gallery;cat=349)
Gotta make a 'Light Box' for photographing small items like this bowl.
... going to be making one out of a card board box as seen HERE (http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent), so hopefully I'll be able to post better pics later today' or tomorrow.

These three pictures (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=7925) were made using my shop built light box and the result leaves something  to be desired.
It needs better lighting and a better background, the t-shirt material that is in use for the bg is not up to the task... I'll be getting some white 'Bristol board' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_board) at our local Michael's hobby store and come up with a better light source and hopefully that will improve the results.

Thanks Steve.
Tyra likes it and that's the *good* part.  :2thumbs:

It looks like it should have a price tag on it. ;)
