problem: long and busy day, no time for photography.
solution: grab a random item and stick it in the lightbox
This is the pirat that stands next to my stove, he lets me know when the pasta is ready...by singing and dancing, as pirats do.

Say hello to my little friend!
The newest member of the family :)
Thank you again Luca for the beautiful present!!
February 24
When I went away, guess who took over the home
I must find a way to get the power back
...or maybe I'll just join the fun
I was a little sick on Sunday, so although it was Valentine's day we decided to stay at home and take it easy.
I've decided to keep documenting new photo equipment so here is the new 85mm.
It's incredible how little pieces of dust that I can't see with the naked I, show up on photos from the lightbox.
Today I got a belated birthday gift from Luca. Photoshop CS4 AND Lightroom!! OMG I'm soo excited :D I don't know where to begin, there's so much to learn.
I also got a package with the mail today, it was the lightscoop that I ordered 2-3 weeks ago. If you haven't heard about it, lightscoop is a little mirror that redirects the camera’s pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall. I still don't have an external flash and I thought that the lighscoop could be useful for indoor candid shots, when there is not enough light and everybody has to stay really still not to get blurry.

If anyone is interested in making a cheap home-made light-box, then you can find the instructions that I followed here and here.
All you need is a cardboard box, tracing paper(I used cooking paper), tape and a white posterboard.
I haven´t invested in an external flash yet, so I use a couple of table lamps for light with good results.
The smurfs in the previous post were shot in the light box.
It has been raining all day, so no opportunity for outdoors photos. So this afternoon I made a homemade lightbox from a cardboard box and cooking paper, very simple. It turned out great and for the last hour I have been shooting every little thing I could find, little figureens, jewelry and small stuffed animals. I like how these little smurfs turned out. I have a little lamp on the right and from far above but I think that I need another lamp on the left to get more light and eliminate the shadow on the left.
