Id love to know how to even out the brightness so the reflected lights dont saturate it in places.

Shot using my halogen worklights and manual whitebalance so I can override the flash, to avoid that making it even worse...

As usual the camera is nothing fancy..just a canon powershot A620. At least it has some manual override capabilities though

Perhaps this thread would be better in the mapleleaf area though... although both saxes currently reside in Canada at least
Here,s a link to a homemade lightbox, I think this will give you the shot your after.

This shot is a little hot, but besides the smiley face can you see the thrush like bird on the side of the log?

I really like these kind of shots.

No smiley face but can you see the face in this one?

She who must be obeyed has given up on me.

However I do try to keep everything (camera, lenses, memory cards, prints CD's and DVD's) in my office but it always looks like a bomb went off in it.

We also have my photo's up all over the house Mrs_P's choice of course.
