Not bad for noob work! Next time try ironing the sheet you're using as a backdrop so it will be a smooth background. Also, play around with lights.. move a lamp in closer, move a lamp farther away... try to get some more contrast in your pics. You can also do that in photoshop if you post-process. Try switching from a warm filter to a cool filter.

Good start so far though!

Yeah I just pretty much grabbed the sheet out of the closet cause I needed something lighter as the backdrop, didnt feel like ironing it though lol. Yeah lighting is very crappy in the house with our florescents and the tan walls. XD

Grab a lamp or anything that isn't florescent. What makes a great photo is composition, lighting, contrast, shadows, etc. You can always change your white balance depending on the lighting too...

Yeah I had the white balance set to fluorescent, but still its too dark in my room. I unfortunately dont have any lamps...and the lamps in the living room are all antiques....so cant really move them around. I might end up just buying some lighting for my room so it will be better.

Thanks man...ive been trying. :)Photobucket seems to be ruining the compression on the pics you're uploading. The one in your sig looks great, you can't see the pixels.
