Project #30: Enameled Pendant
One of these days I will post these projects on a timely basis. Until then, you will have to put up with my lateness. Having said that, this is number 30 and I am pretty excited about it. There isn’t much to say except that the red came out a bit darker than I intended it to but I think I like it better this way. Sorry for the glare, I need to figure out a good setup for photographing my pieces. They are so shiny that I think a certain amount might be unavoidable.

To avoid glare when taking pictures of small, shiny objects, a friend of mine made a diffuser from an empty gallon jug. You want one of the milky white ones – not a clear one. Cut the bottom off the jug, and enlarge the hole in the top to match your camera’s lens diameter. Put the object to be photographed on a flat surface. Sit the jug over it, and insert the camera lens through the top of the jug. If there isn’t enough light, you can point a desk lamp or spotlight at the outside of the jug. The resulting diffuse light helps to avoid glare or reflections. Hope this helps! I’ve been enjoying reading about your projects.
Thanks for the tip Bill. I will try it next time I need to photograph something shiny.
