That looks more like it.
All the new hand scraped floors look like those first pictures.
Maybe they should call them something else.

Mahogany. Pre-treated, with ends treated (sealed) after every cut.

I was taking photos there and I thought everything was going well. Good exposures, nice angles only a couple of objectionable shadows. But when I put them up on the big screen, I saw a lot of reflections off of the large chunk of granite. I lost a lot of shots because of that.

I have a slave flash, but I only have one. This would have required several, maybe 3 or 4. The best lighting would have been a tungsten source using reflective umbrellas. That way it would have been a soft source and very constant. I was trying to be as unobtrusive as possible. Get in and get out pretty quick. I try to keep my sessions to 1/2 hour or less. I am slowly building up my photo equipment.
I did one attempt with the off camera flash, well a few, but this was the worst of the bunch. I was using bounce lighting most of the time, off the white ceiling. But this just light up a bright spot, worthless for pics. If I had a bunch and used diffusers it would have worked better. But the large surface area of the countertop combined with the high power flashes is still going to equal reflection.
Like I said, a soft tungsten light source would have been best.

This started out as just pouring a pad for the hot tub to sit on. Then the added this structure. I have been calling a hot tub enclosure, don't really know another way to describe it.

Call me a nitpicker, but I don't like the spindles that are against the posts. I always start with a space there.
