Getting acquainted with the light box
As I mentioned before, I've been bugging Darling Hubby for a light box, in order to give a more professional look to the photography of my pieces. I played around with it a little bit, taking photos of what I've got at hand at the moment. So far so good, but I think I'll have to remember not to use it when it's too dark out, as the overhead incandescent light bulbs seemed to interfere with the look of the full-spectrum lights illuminating the sides. I still had to tweak the photos in photoshop some, but not nearly as much as I used to.
Also, I found that one or two shots per setup were pretty average, where I used to photograph a setup, like, close to 10 times before, due to unwanted shadows, and glaring reflections.

My collection of Lentil Twists, so far. More to come... ;)
I just Love the pure color of these pearls.

The beads really glow nicely...
You really should. Especially with the type of work you do, it would really show off the details of your art
So um, when are ya gonna start showing off some of your beads, mister? A little birdie told me that you used to work with gemstones once... So, uh, gonna start playing with those stones again? ;)
Well, except for in person, right? LOL!
You can get white plexi, but I was using it to trace so I had paper over it anyway.
Eventually I will dig all my stuff out of the pile o' crap in the garage and give it another shot.
Phos! 'Sup whit'chyou? I wrote a whole BD post on my other blog, and you haven't even commented on it! :P
LOL Linda! I'm sorry!!! Well, okay, maybe I'm not very very sorry, just a little sorry. It's payback for all the eye candy you dangle before me over at YOUR blog! LOL!
Oh, you'd like it! But you already take fantastic photos.
And pics with light box are perfect
