Default Don't play with the vegies!

Well, I finally got back to my lightbox yesterday. And after downloading and finding the photos were rather blue, I posted a question, received some excellent feedback (thanks guys!), then went back to my notes from an on-line pp course I did a couple of years back, and then did some pp adjustments. Here are the results.

Tell me what you think. I am VERY new to using a lightbox and setting up images but I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

The thing is, I haven`t a clue about lightboxes. I do know that I really like jelly beans and they look good enough to eat off the screen. Tomatoes look good but I want to eat the strawberries. These are crystal clear and sharp pictures, terrific.

I'm with Bill on this one. I don't know anything about light boxes but I do know that every shot looks good enough to eat. And I know a lot about eating!

I know very little about light boxes too - I am just trying to learn - my husband gave me one for Christmas and sorry to say I haven't had much of a chance to play with it since New Year. But I plan on making time.

Thanks guys for your comments. I am pleased with how these turned out after a little pp work to get rid of the blue - so thanks for your comments! and for looking! Now I had better go and eat those jelly beans!

thank you for your wonderful comments. If the photos make you want to eat the food I am three quarters of the way there to achieving a good photo.

Thanks Obijuan - the inspiration to sidetrack into this type of photography came from you! Thanks!

Those are wonderful Jill. I love the clear light and the colors. They seem created with pure light compared to my style. Cleaner light if you know what I mean. I can't wait to see more.

That is very nice of you mentioned me as inspiration into you trying this type of photography. You made my day.
