Yeah.. my lighting is a major issue! I desperately need to setup some kind of studio! I'm currently using a corner of my dining room and it consists of an old white board for the "stage" and a few desk lamps! I can't get consistent lighting with this setup and I'm in a "high traffic" area in the house! (Our dog always seems TOO interested in what I'm doin!...talk about RUFF (LOL)! I'm thinkin' of maybe just using SINGLE words on the spoon...might give more impact! With the 2nd one...there were other words in the BOWL that I was also "tryin" to give focus too (ya got to look close) but they seem to get LOST in all the rest! I'll give it another go when I get a chance! Thx! Joe
