The light tent blocked the best light I had - the track lighting in my bathroom - I ended up back in my tub again! 
The lights did help for some shots. The only problem was they got so hot they made the watch too hot to touch and actually burned a corner of the watch pillow!!!
The CPL worked GREAT!!!! smile8.gif
The tripod was really helpful for some shots too! :D A challenge to navigate in a tub though!
Couldn't find Patience on eBay!!!! ;) :D
I know, I miss sunlight. It was the easiest, best lighting source. Too cold here too - temp right now 27 degrees, but not for long -
