what are the odds? i just posted my shot of "bells" and the scary part was i had exactly this same thing in mind, but using mr. padraigh penwyn. however the glass was so delicate it broke.

@shepherdmanswife tx :) no magic involved... i have an iPad photo lighting app called SoftBox Pro... it creates the backgrounds i've been using on my rainbow shots... and it also has a gradient background - white at the centre fading to back on the outside... the chess piece is sitting on the iPad with a martini glass upended over top :)

It sounds simple, but the effect is brilliant.

@northy I really do underestimate my iPad . Must have a go at using it as a light box. Thanks for the info
