Very Good.

Thanks everyone. Books 2-5 (from the left) were textbooks from my master's degree. That includes the course English 401, "Technical Writing," that I snuck in as an elective in an MS-EE degree program. Aside to Traveller: Yes it is a re-shoot. For those who did not see the first attempt, a bright reflection from the flash made one of the book titles unreadable.

That handkerchief worked very well, Charlie! Now the colors just glow! ~Sharon

At first, reading Sharon's comment, I cocked my head and went....Ahhhhhhhhhh, Well, maybe....

However, as is most often the case, Sharon was correct, this is a much better version....and this had to be a re-shoot, Yes?

Great idea and very colorful. Smart of you to thing of this even.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Thanks, Sharon. I tried again with a handkerchief over the flash. That did make it better.

Pretty cool, Charlie! You have a rainbow of information at your finger tips! Have you tried diffusing the flash a bit so that you don't get such strong bright spots. I sometimes just drape a paper towel over it or hold a piece of bond paper if front of it. ~Sharon
