22 Jan, 2012

Paul :-))
22 Jan, 2012
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

22 Jan, 2012
:))))) Romantic eh?
22 Jan, 2012
lol Yes :-)))
22 Jan, 2012
