Here is a sneak peek of Romeo, the newly completed Artist Copy Ravenhill. He will be mailed to Stacey early next week and she will be handling his auction. I will post the auction info to my yahoo group, and can post the link here also.
These photos are not that great. I really need to rethink my photo set up. I use a tent and photography daylight bulbs, but can never get the true color and details I'd like. Maybe its the background colors... Hmmm... a discussion for another day.
Nice work! That is such a hard color to do...he looks really nice :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol! I love a nice palomino. :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks good. As for the pictures... have you seen something like this before?

I was on an airplane and saw it in the skymall magazine and thought it might be helpful.
Thanks for the link, Callie. That actually looks exactly like the photo tent I have. I find that it might actually be too good at diffusing light and doesn't let enough through. My lights are different - I use full size stands with huge blue bulbs. They are so hot that I work up a sweat whenever I use them. I've started using my Daylight and/or Ott light lamps directly (not through the tent) and find they give a nice light also... The new blue paper I bought at Blick's Art Supply last weekend really helps. The greys and tans I used before always made the model look washed out. Probably something to do with the settings on my camera (Nikon Coolpix P4 - it's an 8.1 megapixel point and shoot) and how it adjusts the color balance. Now, maybe if I had a nicer camera...
