Shop lights directed toward the back of the white paper background. You can see the "line" if you look carefully. Tripod so I could use a smaller f-stop to keep everything sharp. A newly lit candle, frosted balls behind larger clear glass ornaments and a sprig of green for color. I wanted this kind of monotone but at the last minute decided to add the greenery. Picked up off the floor. We added a drop shadow against a hunter green larger box behind the candle/balls, printed them out, trimmed them and glued to a blank card where we had already printed our greetings. Viola, a Greetings Card for the holidays. Taken with my recently returned Sony F707 -- which, alas, while it arrived just before Christmas, has to be returned for further repair. Also discovered on Christmas Day the date had been reset to May! Does that ever mess up my cataloging!
