I have been playing around with my camera's settings (Sony DSC-W80) and working with the white balance and ev settings to try to get the coloring of the wood more accurate. I purchased the #39 gradient that was recommended to me, and I think the colors of0 are getting more accurate. However, I have not figured out how to get the background color of the gradient to reflect that color. I can get the gradient to match, but then the color of the wood is off, or I can get the color of the wood right, and the color of the gradient tends toward the blue color.
I have included a couple of shots that I took with the camera. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or criticisms of how the photos show. If anyone could shed some light on the placement of the turnings, or, if there are other things that I need to focus on to get the photos looking better, I would sincerely appreciate it.
One more question... am I taking my shots of the bowl (in particular) too high? I want to show the side of the bowl as well as what some of it looks like inside.
Thanks in advance....Dave
