Green Beads and a Whistle

These are what came out of the kiln a few days ago.  I have more, but these were the few I grabbed to photograph.  This is outside on top of a kiln.  It sits in the shade which makes it perfect to pose beads on, except on sunny days.  Today is very shady, but usually here in Texas it is very sunny.  That makes it hard to take pictures, even during early morning or late evening hours.  The cast shadows are just impossible to deal with. I probably could figure out how to work around this problem eventually, but for now I'll continue shooting inside.

However .......

When I put these same beads under the 'natural sunlight' bulbs indoors to snap their picture, they come out radically different. See this second photo? They are a different color value, more of a yellowish green.  The first photo is more accurate as to the beads' natural color.   My job is to adjust the indoor lighting so that the beads in the second photo match the beads same color values as in the first photo.  This is how I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon, figuring out the lighting. It is also one of the times I'd love to be in a photography class.
