They're my favorite berry too! Glad you are enjoying my photos.

And you know I'm having fun!

It's interesting: the white satin turned out to be more interesting than the black velvet. You just never know!

I haven’t tried raspberries yet, but now I’ve absolutely got to. Organic oranges or tangerines are my fave so far, and make the popsicles taste just like the old-fashioned Creamsicles — except waaay healthier.

Thanks for giving me the idea.

Bet you can get even closer on the black background.

I haven't worked with a light box since graphic arts school! Hmm.

Everything has to wait until I'm resettled for now. I' in a holding pattern right now.

Maybe I could have gotten closer. I did crop a bit.

Andy taught me about light boxes; I bought this one with his encouragement. I know he would be pleased to see me experimenting!

Holding patterns are good while you get resettled!

All things considered.

And it looks like both of your raspberry experiments were a success!

I really hadn't thought much about experimenting, but once I got started, I remembered! YES.

I'm very happy with these and I'm so glad you like them too.

I’ve always been partial to black velvet, but that white background is very nice. Lighting is perfect

Those are the effects I was aiming for!

I was surprised at how much more I liked the white vs. the black. My light box performs to my demands!

It’s fun to see the difference in the black and white backgrounds. I think you see more of the shape of the berry on the white.

My favorite berry, too!

Glad you like them! Yeah, I'm preferring the white to the black. You're right: you do see the shape of the berry better on the white satin.

But they're both beautiful!

I'm right there with you!

I really didn't know what to expect. That they both turned out was beyond my expectations!
