Another batch of Puzzles

[John B]

I have just built a Light "Soft" box to photograph my items. Still experimenting with it. I think I need some more powerful bulbs, but so far I am pleased. I made it quite large so that (Hopefully) the largest portraits will fit.
The Snail and Dinosaur are hand painted, The Blinky Bill ones are from a calendar my daughter had, I think it must be about 25 years old.
The stand up puzzles are cut from 27mm pine.

Nicely cut puzzles! 

 

You should try some brighter bulbs, as well as bulb placement, and possibly adding a light on top and/or behind.  A softbox should almost eliminate shadows, forcing all eyes onto the product being displayed.  What are you filtering the light through?

I have used frosted shower curtain as filters. It works very well, I have 3 lights, both sides and top. Brighter bulbs I think are the trick. Will get some when we get back from Perth next week and have a shot.
