@jporcaro Thanks Joan. It's taken in a dark room on a black shiny tile with a white cloth as a backdrop. I then used a lamp behind the cloth for some diffused lighting (the only lighting). I used my tripod so I could do a long exposure and adjusted the white balance so I didn't get a yellow colour from the lamp.
@alisonp Thanks Alison. Yep, 365 was a good idea - thanks very much for suggesting it. :) Even though I'm not in the same league as most of the people on here I'm really enjoying it.
540 photos I just noticed! ~ so 365 was a good idea? :D
