From what I understand, it is good to take photos of your art outside on a bright, but overcast, day. I got impatient waiting for these conditions, paired with the timing of child-less time (hardly any) ~so I improvised a way to take photos of my earrings on a sunny day.
The shadows would have been overpowering if I had taken them under the direct sun, and the light areas would be washed out. So to remedy this problem I leaned two boards against my studio steps. I taped a piece of silk between them and placed the earrings to be photographed behind the fabric.
The light filtered through the fabric and gently lit my earrings.
Lastly, I cropped and edited the photos I took on Picnik I know I have lots of room to improve with my photography skills, but I am happy for now.
While I worked this fellow sat in the tree above me and watched... Isn't he handsome?
