    Photo Tent attempt. *take two*
    Ok....so I went out and got some fluorescent bulbs to practice with. The pictures did not turn out as bright as they should have....I am starting to think I have to mess with the setting on my camera perhaps. :confused: ...or it could simply be the user. :P Oh well, I feel the lights did make a difference, and there was some white balance adjustments done too. This photography stuff is tough! Thanks for everyones help! :salute:

    Wow! The white is...very, very white, haha! That little pastel in the third pic is adorable. I love the pose! I've never tried a light tent, but you're right; photography isn't easy! I think you did a great job.

    The Fuji S5100 is a great little camera. I carried one with me to Iraq and it has been through a year in the desert in the hands of an Infantryman, plus a few canals, it fell in the lake with a drunk friend of mine and has been in a couple of thunderstorms and is still kicking. It is not my primary camera anymore, but I will never get rid of it. If I can find the manual for mine would you like a copy of it?

    Your pictures look great but might I suggest underexposing by at least one stop, or bracketing to see which exposure is best. In high key photos like that the meter can get a little fooled sometimes. It is ment to read 18% grey but if you are focusing on a dark area then your white will wash out too much, vise versa metering on the white.

    Thank you much for the info. That is good to know. Yeah it has all sorts of buttons going on with it. Pat posted a PDF of the manual a couple posts up. But thanks for the offer! :salute:
