Some interesting things from AGS class

Those are through the tabletop.

I bought one while I was in Vegas. I haven''t really had much of a chance to play with it yet and, as you know, the photography can be a bit tricky. I''m sure I''ll get it worked out. Thanks for the tip.

Wow, it sure does! Nice photo. are you shooting through the ASET lense or did you take the ASET lense out and use your macro?

I took out the whole cone assembly and took the picture directly through the hole with my macro. I'm using a beer cup with a floppy disk on top as a diffuser. It was the closest thing I had to a translucent piece of paper.

I"m going to put back together my modified handheld that I was using to take pictures and sell it on ebay. I love this thing.

WINK and NEIL

Try regular old 20lb. white bond paper. It works better than the translucent stuff.

I even tried multiple sheets of translucent lens papers, but I like the result from the bond paper better.
Here''s a princess image I took recently, It''s an AGS 0 one.
