I picked up a good camera and made up some lights trying to get some decent pictures. I am slowly getting better results, but still not there yet. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated. Camera is a Nikon D5000 with a 18-55 zoom lens. Lights reflecting off a piece of foam core poster board. Running f8 and shutter speeds of 1/5-1/2 sec. I think I need to get a plain white background, and play with the white balance a little more. Here is what I have at this time. Thanks a bunch to Michael for his assistance thus far.





Not sure why photos have been showing up so small on this site. Loose a lot of detail.
Thanks,
John
