The "magic hour" lighting is still a great option, even with the white balance flexibility of digital.<br /><br />Someone else mentioned reflectors. I keep a piece of foam core around to create a neutral background or bounce is some side light.

The orange background has become your trademark, which is nice. It's also nice to recognize your photos right away in google picture search. There is many ways to portrait a typewriter, and I think all are equally valid, whether it is taking pictures in natural light, or setting the typewriters in their natural habitat, so to say, or rather shordzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824301365798484902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-9779608791068562672012-02-12T04:12:02.395+01:002012-02-12T04:12:02.395+01:00Steady, Martin.

Most times natural light with a reflector or absorber can work the easiest and best. <br /><br />Most of the time I do not take the time or make the effort to do really good shots to post on line.
