Beautiful plants! If you dont mind me asking what is the mix that you are using for mexican pings and proportion? I see turface, lava rocks (pouzzolanes), coarse sand, anything else?
Thank ya, guys.
@brinkerh420: They're just glass test tubes from somewhere on Amazon. They don't seem to be working, though. Nothing is doing anything. Nothing's dying, but nothing's growing either, lol. I just use black felt for the background. It's more of a lighting thing though. You can use virtually anything that's dark as the background and get a black background like that if you light it properly.
In other news, after talking with Brie a little bit, I decided to try and totally recalibrate my monitor. Some day I'll get a really nice monitor and a Spyder3 to calibrate it, but I can't afford that nonsense right now. After tinkering with things and being utterly unhappy, I had a sort of epiphany. The screen on my camera -must- be calibrated, it would be silly if they weren't calibrated well on DSLRs. So I held the camera up to my monitor and did the best I could to make my monitor look just like the screen on the camera, lol. I think it worked out well.

So hopefully future photoshoots look a little nicer.
