Hi all: 

    Lately I have been driving myself nuts trying to use my Cloud Dome
    to get some photos for a website. I bought the daylight Ott lamps,
    two, and use the Cloud Dome in indirect sunlight while moving the
    lamps around to fill in light where I need it. I use a gray mat board
    as a background, black seemed too harsh. When I got the photos back
    today some are green tinted, some have a jet-black background, some
    the silver is strikingly bright and very few are useable. It was
    suggested I use 400 film for this. Any ideas on what I am doing
    wrong?? Is my film wrong? I use my old Minolta SLR film camera, don't
    have a digital and don't have Photoshop to tweak photos.  I also
    tried just the Ott lights in a dark room with no other source of
    light but with a black background, which was too much. Looking for
    suggestions.

Thank you in advance, 
Kathy Anderson
