Nancy's Beaded Fish; I call him NED

ISO 200 f/11 1/125th of second Studio Lighting conditions

Nancy embroidered this piece awhile ago (although she says it isn't finished yet) and today I realized I hadn't photographed it, so while working on another photograph for her, I slipped this one in.   I have also been updating the NEDBeads website ( www.nedbeads.com ) and decided to use this little guy, who I've named NED, as a kind of guide through the pages.  You can find him swimming about the link bar at the top of the page.  :)

 studio light heads. 

Inside Beads Beaded Bead

 ISO 200 f/11 1/50th of a second  90mm Macro Lens: Studio Lighting conditions

Last night I posted a photograph of this beaded bead 

which was created by my wife Nancy. That photograph 

was taken with the same lens and nearly the same 

settings as these are, with one major difference.  This

series is lit primarily from inside of the bead, with a single 

umbrella outside. The designer of the bead, Florence Turnour, 

left a comment on my previous post; 

"Those photos are beautiful. One thing I love about this bead 

design is how hollow it is.  Any idea how to capture 

that in a photograph?  Just some food for thought."     

I did start thinking about it and this is what I came up 

with. I fashioned a "snoot" out of black photo background 

paper, which  allowed me to concentrate the light under 

the bead, and then added a single umbrella on 

the outside, bracketing the exposure I came up with 

these results

Beads; Beaded Bead

Nancy created this bead from different sizes and colors of 

seed beads, photographing her wonderful work has been 

given me a great opportunity to take the macro photographs 

that I like the best.
