But today I got a bit done, and wanted to share the results. I'm getting there. It's just a slow process. I'm going a little cross-eyed uploading things to the new (and still un-launched) web site, but I'm hurrying as fast as I can with a child moping around saying he wants to DOOOOOOO something yet has absolutely NO idea what he wants to DO.

fully understand about trying to catch the natural light. i don't want to invest in a light box so i take my photo's outside also. You are right it is a timing issue :)
ReplyDeleteYour photo's look fantastic! You obviously found the right place,and right time of day to photograph. Great job.
nice work!
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice photos Lori. I have been trying to take my pictures in the morning by a north facing window before 10 am. I have been getting some kind of tint probably from the reflection on the outside of the window of my green lawn. Sometimes I can eliminate it with Elements. Did you take all of these outdoors, no windows?
ReplyDeleteomg..these pieces, every one, are all stunning!! I think my fave is that purple bracelet, but, honey...they are all so yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe mermaid one was the only on that I took beside a window -- the rest were outside, after the sun had gone just over the roof of the house.
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful! I find photographing challenging as well.
ReplyDeleteThese look perfect. Thank you for the 'sundown" tip for the light.
ReplyDeleteWhether natural light or not, I must say photographiing jewellery is challenging and there's always something new to learn. Especially when people surf the net and decide within 2 seconds whether they wanna stay on the blog/site and look a bit more...It has to be catchy, and that's the hard bit. So well done on these!
ReplyDeletebeautiful - i like outside at 5pm to the nw side of my house... oooor, early in the a.m. with shadows... depends upon how i am feeling and what kind of colors i need to emphasize... i too get a bit overwhelmed by the photoediting... it seems that after all of the creative energy that goes into MAKING something, the other steps (on certain days) can be daunting... best luck with the website...
ReplyDeleteLori, you are just too humble...you really are amazing taking pictures in natural light! You really are doing something right! I really like the first bracelet with all of that vibrant color!
ReplyDeleteLori, your pictures always look so amazing! I can only wish my pics looked so good.
ReplyDeleteAnd my mother was so lucky. I was always entertaining myself with a good book.
The pictures look great! I really like the earring picture.
ReplyDeletePhotography of my jewelry is tricky for me. Getting the right light is difficult sometimes. Yours have just the right mixture of light and dark.
The jewelry and pictures look wonderful, Lori! I've tried to do photos in natural light without much success. The weather here rarely cooperates.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!!
ReplyDeleteWish I could photograph as well. It is always a struggle for me.
Beautiful work, Lori -- your site is such an inspiration.
