Yes, that's ghetto... although it is also a bit hard to make out due to the low light and minimal depth of field. You could get round this by using a smaller aperture (bigger f/stop number) and a much longer shutter speed.

Default Is this ghetto lighting?

I just registered today. I hope I'm not too late to get feedback on this one.

I used here a green light from my key chain.

Default Tried again...

I tried again, keeping Wulf's comments in mind. I wanted to keep the low light, but I shot at a different angle to capture more of the keys, closed the aperture a bit for a greater DOF, and shot. I think it captures what I was trying to achieve.

Default Not for Assignment

Egg Series: for my photography class assignment.
I put the egg on bubble wrap that is on lime green tissue paper. Then I used a mag light covered with the lime green tissue, that is being shown through a green nalgene water bottle.
