My studio lighting just arrived so I plan on experimenting a little with this myself. Thanks for reminding me I need to do this.

You can bet that I'll be experimenting with different setups. I may buy 2 more of the ac strobes, as they are only 50 bucks apiece. There are also diffusers available for them which may be useful.
I do believe the cheapest lighting improvment was the addition of the white pull down shades on each sice of the backdrop. The really do improve the light distribution.

Learning the mechanics of bonsai is a matter of rote. Over and over again the processes are practiced until the hands and eyes know the moves.
Learning the art of bonsai may be more like water wearing away a stone, or climbing a mountain where the peak is always shrouded in fog and just out of reach.
Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.
