Yes there is an over head light but probably better to do this in the dark, or use natural light from a window. Good Luck!

This is a great video and piece of information - many thanks for sharing.

Could you let us know what camera and flash you're using please?

Cheers, Chris

Nikon coolpix the old one no flash hence the lights.

You dont need any more than 72 dpi for use on the internet remember!

Thanks Chris!

Photography is something we potters should learn, it is just too cheep and easy nowadays to skip and ya just might have a good eye for some neat pictures. A must if you intend to enter exhibitions.

Great info....thanks for sharing. Is there an overhead light, or only the light from the windows and the one coming off of the white board. I've put off the photography as long as I can (odd since I love it) Now you've encouraged me to get going. Again, thank you. Maria's Mountain Mud

Thanks very much for bothering to do this - have just ordered graduated background vinyl, which was only £25, but I probably wouldn't have bothered if I'd seen your vid first!
