Focus is also being lost between the left and right sides.
If you can add some light coming at about a 45 degree angle from one side and either square up the box in relation to the camera or use a longer shutter speed and a smaller aperture to gain a little more depth of focus the relief work on the box would really pop out and show the textures (that's what is called 'modeling'). |
Thanks! I will give it another try next time i am at my Parents house. This box just fascinates me for some reason. i am trying to find out some history on it too. Anyone know when Antiques Roadshow will be in town
