Gorgeous bracelets and another fantastic photograph. I love the color of the carnelian on these, it's the perfect candied orange. What is your photography setup?
Beautiful cuffs, fantastic size and perfect condition. Such wanted items. Well done Angelo.
Thanx ingrid and Lynn……yes the carnelians look like delicious candies and the shape ..almost a more round oval cabochon…..which makes not very common bracelet then usually we see on the market…And for Lynn…….
I take all my photographs in the daylight and with an iPhone 4S…the iPhone 6 PLUS takes gorgeous photos ..so my next purchase…...
For the settings ..it depends on the object…flat or 3D...
usually …which u won't believe …i use my computer white chair as a stage ……the seat and the back has round and smooth connection ,,,so no corner
the chair is on wheels and turns…so i stage my object on the chair ..and by the window ..and play with light ….closer or far from window ..or turning the chair if i want the light coming from direction desired.
for another instance also i use black or medium grey cardboard on the floor…still by the window and turning the cardboard the way i want the light...
Grey background is the perfect match for good silver….not good for low content silver …turns them yellow brass look like….you use that medium grey Lynn which is great!!!!
Then at computer i play with sharpness…saturation,,and contrast and temperature..
NO PHOTOSHOP !!!!!
I'll send you the bill !!! LOL
Best
Angelo
