Default Easter Candy

Hi all. First post here, thought I'd jump in with a critique request.



Mainly playing around with easter eggs and experimenting with something that might sell as a stock photo if I could get it right. One flaw that I'm aware of and will go ahead and mention: The reflections and hot spots on the eggs. On the pink one you can see both lights and the entrance to the light box. Not quite sure how to avoid this and still light it up, though, so suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

jmadigan, Welcome

If your lights are outside the box, shining through paper or cloth sides to diffuse them, I don't understand how this reflection happened. Could you diagram your setup, or post photo of lightbox?

Have you got the light shining in from the top of the box or the sides? Trouble is they are very shiny arent they, any light will bounce of surely? but you could perhaps reduce that with how you position the lights, have you tried diff positions?
