Blurry background helps make the kayak pop. Interesting touch.

What I have found and this goes for building too. The more lights the better. I build in a 12x32 shed, I have 21 curly fluorescent light bulbs. The problem with that it shows all my junk in the background. Although I have not posted many pictures. I choose the small curly fluorescent light bulb over the longer ones, 4 foot or 8 foot. One reason, there super cheap and you don't have to spend a lot of money on fixtures. And constantly spinning and moving strips around you have a good chance hitting those thin bulbs.
