Yesterday was beautiful, sunny and just the right temperature. It was, in short, the perfect day to take pictures of the beads I've got piling up for listing. By the time I got home from the day job, it was too late to do anything more ambitious than make dinner and catch up on my down time. I did not take advantage of the fading light to photograph anything.
Today dawned hazy and, indeed, while I was slogging off to the bank and grocery store, errands that needed to be done if I wanted the cats to let me back in, there were even a few brief moments of hazy sun. This was not destined to last and as I put the last can of cat food away, the sun went behind a cloud for good.
I was forced to decide whether to list these with pictures taken with artificial light, not showing their best, or wait until the sun reappeared and hope I was at home when it did. This deep transparent purple vessel actually doesn't look too bad. It looks a bit better in sunlight, of course, because it is transparent and artificial light doesn't show this well but if I have to use these pictures I could.
This vessel, made with CiM Sangre, is not going up until I can get a decent picture. The one on my hand isn't bad but it's nowhere near as red as it is in real life.
This one isn't as good. I had to use a lot of editing stuff, and it looks it. The others I took aren't even this good...
So is it better to light a candle or curse the dark? Not sure. I'll light a candle anyway but still curse.
