Practice photos - Teal ink

MrBottles...

Hi Steven, I got this Teal Umbrella ink back from being cleaned. It was found in salt water, Wiscasset, Maine last year. Any suggestions on backlighting? I'm using a FinePix Fujifilm camera. It seems to do ok[:-]

The first two seem a bit fuzzy... am I trying to get too close to it?

Hey Wayne, Step back and use your zoom, that will help with the focus. Steven got the light thing with blues and greens down. HE DA MAN![]

HA!!!

I just found this question. Yep that's exactly what worked for me was getting farther away like four feet and zooming in. I have a four megapixel Sony camera. I'm not sure if that would make any difference. See if the camera has a macro setting. It works better for zooming in on small things. Be warned though it distorts larger bottles. I redid a crap load of images for my site because of that distortion!

P.S. That is a nice looking ink!!! I love pontils i don't know why i just do!

Thanks Warren & Steven...

I never thought about using the zoom... I thought if I could get close enough to it... kinda sneek up on it... I would get a better shot[:-]

I'll try a couple more... see what you think...

This is a pair of Hyatt's Life Balsam's that I found in Coon River, they were laying about six feet from eachother[]

I guess these came out better because I was farther away to get both of them into the frame?[8|]
