Darn, I'm more than 90 miles away as well!

London to Norwich may only be 90 miles but it will take 2 hours at least with our Bottle Neck at Thetford (Soon to be rectified).

Simon (Our Tall Friend) is the closest to me, there's no way he has time to pop over here though

Thanks Arthur - These Smart camera's do offer all adjustments, I am seldom using AUTO even as a common man.. I think I will be able to achieve what I intend but I have rolls of new Tracing paper here and White Crepe paper so I am looking out for something a bit nicer than a cardboard box to make this from - One of those Plastic corrugated boxes used for the L-Box would be ideal.

Anyone is welcome to visit though if you are this way - I love showing people my kingdom. I even provide Hot Drinks in special Mugs

Hi Nick

Just remember what I said about mixing light sources - mixing reflective materials is the same thing. Your light 'tent' needs to be made of the same material all round. The tracing paper will act as a diffuser and be fine, it will taint the light with its own inherent colour but you should be able to correct for that in your photo editing software. Typically paper will often look a bit blue especially any really bright white paper. The reason you see it as white is because your brain tells you its white the camera however is not fooled ;o) If you mix the two materials you end with a cast from the tracing paper and a cast from the crepe paper. You can correct for one but two is usually not possible.

That said, I'd still give it a go and see what it looks like in the finished photo;o) There may be a bit of a cast but it may not be very noticeable - but I wouldn't want to rely on it.
