I like the background as well as the light. Wish there were something good for restoring leather, but a local rare-books dealer tells me everything has its problems.

20 seconds with a 600mm, lit by candlelight..... not your average indoor shot!! The end result is really nice. An interesting read, I'm sure.

What a nice gift, Mark. And a nice shot, kind of an old time look about it.

The warm light from the candle is perfect for the antique bindings on the books.
