Yeah, but the light colored chicks wont show up as well on a light colored background. Plus I kinda like that 'highlighted' look...
I'm in the process of planning a large photobox made out of plywood that will have lights on all three sides, since I've got more brooder lights than I know what to do with... LOL I want to make something large enough that I can take pictures of my adult birds. Someone mentioned some kind of reflective fabric, and that reminded me of those pop out light filters that professionals use. I used to have one when I was working for a photographer but I dont know what I did with it. I think I am going to try and find some fabric like that to use over the holes instead of the wax paper.
This has really struck my photography nerve and rekindled the interest. I was trained in high school, and then worked for a professional photographer for a while after I graduated, but I haven't shot anything 'professionally' in quite a long time. I've basically forgotten all my knowledge of the f-stops and all that good stuff. I'd love to set up a dark room and do things the old fashioned way!
