Just getting some practice using my little Kodak C195 and the editing features on Photobucket. Just seeing what looks good. Already decided that I need more and/or better lighting. Photos are of a 1969 Guild F-30 that I have had for years and now that I have a home shop I will make it a player, for me. ;D These most likely will not be used in the book and I will get Lightroom or Photoshop to do the real work.

In the second shot, if you can move the light source to avoid the glare on the sticker, you should be able to use the shadow and highlight adjustments in Photoshop to bring out the details.

When an alternative light source is not available, or not practical due to the angles involved, here's a neat trick: Grab a Klennex tissue, preferably unused, and fold it into about 4 layers thick. Carefully hold it over the flash on your point & shoot without covering the flash with your fingers. I kind of wrap it over the corners of the camera and hold it on the sides. This reduces and diffuses the light output which is great when shooting close up shiny things like labels, tuning machines, gloss tops, etc.  |
