I have been playing around , trying to get an accurate photo of the Red Iris piece, fairly unsuccessfully till now. I was at the camera store yesterday talking about proper floodlighting etc and the man I spoke with ( actually LISTENED to!!) reminded me that I have a custom white balance setting on my camera- Canon S100. So, DH and I came home and figured it out and - voila- I have pics now that accurately represent the colours of this piece. At the risk of boring you all to tears, here they are . Have a look back at some of the Iris posts and see the difference. I can see a HUGE diff. Can you? Look at your cameras and check your white balance. I had been using the auto settings but this is MUCH better!
Accuracy at last! Try it! You'll like it!!
Now you have me wondering if my Canon PowerShot has such a setting. Must dig out the manual and see if I can translate it from the Greek! Thanks, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteSpec...tac...u....lar! I love it, Mom! The quilting on it is just stunning -- and the colors are absolutely gorgeous (in all their more accurate glory). You have done a thoroughly lovely job on this piece.
ReplyDeleteThat shiny blue is especially spectacular. I wish I could see it in the 'flesh' so to speak. You have such a talent!
ReplyDeleteOh yes. That makes a big difference.
ReplyDeleteahhhh!
