Hello fellow mudslingers
I would like tips on how to best photograph dark coloured glazes on
stoneware. I find that I am all too often left with a muddied image which
is hardly complementary to the actual piece. This seems to happen whether
the images are traditional slr slides or digital. Browns, blacks, and
especially glossy glazes of this sort are robbed of their deep seated
beauty.
I usually use a set up consisting of a light hood with two tungsten floods
and either a white or gray background. I don't own a light meter(yet).Any
advice is appreciated on the topic.

Hello Donald
The last pictures I have in my site were taken with a digital camera
Outside, in the shade. The best background I found was a gray linoleum. It does not
fight with the ware and It does not wrinkle after use.
When I take pictures in my older -films- camera + the scanner or with the help of my
friend with the digital camera. I am not done. I use this software
http://www.acdsystems.com/English/Products/ImagingProducts/Featured1/index.htm?LAN=English
To adjust the pictures.

Donald:
I am a high school photography teacher and also shoot professionally...
My first question is--What type of camera are you using?
Next--What type of film?
I went to your web page and some of the images appear to be
underexposed. This
will cause a loss of quality and color. How do you determine the
correct exposure?
If you will give me some idea of your set-up and how you photograph the
pots I
might be able to help.
