This is my attempt for #22. I even ironed the cloth for this assignment.

North window light.

North window light with a reflector.

The front of the steam-engine in now far better visible.

BTW this engine is not for sale LOL.

North window light is a remarkably versatile light. Excellent light qualities and easy to work with; no expensive equipment required.

Very nice. The reflector really makes a difference.

Thanks Packard, I agree on how nice the north window light is, I realy like it. I was actually amazed about the difference the reflector made. It was just a white sheet hanging over the back of a chair.

Huge difference from the reflector.

Keep small pieces of cardboard around to fill selectively. Add some crumbled and flattened aluminum foil for some brighter fills.
