Got my first light last Christmas and it’s been such a fun time getting all these. Sofirn IF30 should be here any day!

well-photographed

thanks..

the secret for me, has turned out to be to take photos during daylight hours (not in the dark).. it seems to help the iPhone camera (auto white balance), to produce useful beam color comparisons, for me.. Plus daylight shows what the host looks like.

the other thing that has turned out really handy as a background is my gray soldering mat.. (better than white paper).
