what did you use in the end? did you use anything to reflect the light?

22 Jan, 2012

 

White card...or an lcd bycycle lamp.

22 Jan, 2012

 

A4 white card Sticki, Pimpernel got it :-)

22 Jan, 2012

 

you sould turn the head slightly around and hold it while you take a pic no?

22 Jan, 2012

 

ok, can do the white card, how about tin foil?

yes pixi that seems another option to me but i dont want my fingers in the photo!!!

22 Jan, 2012

 

i could have Pixi, but i wanted the blue sky background :-))

22 Jan, 2012

 

tin foil was too much reflected light Sticki..

22 Jan, 2012

 

ah yes of course..silly me. :) what about shining a torch up it? lol

22 Jan, 2012

 

yes i like that blue sky in there, quite tempting to get night sky too but snowdrop closed now!!!

22 Jan, 2012

 

lol true, but that may be a bit to bright too, i needed a soft light not the harsh bright light..

22 Jan, 2012

 

ah, ok thanks SL will stick to the card.

22 Jan, 2012

 

yes that's true Sticki, you could use black card on a frame maybe?

22 Jan, 2012

 

Take it at night by candlelight then lol

22 Jan, 2012

 

Lol Pixi they close at night..

22 Jan, 2012

 

oh lol i really am silly! jsut imagined it against the night sky with stars out..Venus!!!!!!!!!!

22 Jan, 2012

 

i does sound nice Pixi.. :-)

22 Jan, 2012

 

:))))) Romantic eh?

22 Jan, 2012

 

lol Yes :-)))

22 Jan, 2012

unless you used photoshop or put black card with a little venus star on it ~ or of course someone clever and artistic could draw it!!!!!

22 Jan, 2012
