Photo booth makes a big difference
« on: April 17, 2014, 08:40:43 PM »
So I finally made a photo booth following the tutorial on this site. I know I just posted these pics yesterday but I got them engraved today and took new pics using the new photo booth. I played with the lighting a little so there are different shades of light in the pics but I think the photo booth made a huge difference in the pictures. Not a lot of glare and just an overall nice picture. I'm not crazy about the silver color on the purpleheart so it may change to black. Anyway please compare to my previous DU Donation Calls post and give me your input. Thanks.

I would be glad to bid on any of those past or present.  That whistle at the bottom is hot!

Thank you Fred. This was also my first try at filling color in the engraving myself. Acrylic paint works great and wipes off the finished calls nice.

Those are nice.  Not sure about the silver paint.  But black seems it would be too dark.  What about white or gray?

I'm with you on that one James. I think I'm just gonna change it to black. It might be a little dark for that call but I can't think of any other color that I'm going to like. Thanks for the compliment.
