Pirate Booty Display at City Festival Park - Jamestown, NC 9/10/2015

Another image from my trip to Jamestown on Sat.and the Pirate Festival. Again mixed lighting an issue.  There was really more pirate booty but I chose this crop when taking the image.  This means you do not get to see the small skeleton that was in the right hand corner.  I shot the image with Camera+ HDR but did not use flash because I felt that would be too harsh and not sure how the beads and chrome would have looked.  I used Touch Retouch to remove some stray beads and a line that was not part of the concrete base. Used clarify in native app but no other editing.  I did not want to take the time to see if I could use a mask in Snapseed to darken the drape area to the left in the image.

Necklace Designed by Cinda

Trying to use overhead light on stove for a necklace my daughter, Cinda, made me for Christmas last year. I know the "Tree of Life" medallion was done with Ranger Ink - different patinas  Only minor cropping in camera. If you look closely you can see a little texture

of the knit fabric. Because of the overhead lighting the color looks 
more grey but it was really a mint green.  Did not try using window lighting or my daylight "outdoor"  studio.  I have no special studio lighting but I do have some fabric lengths in various colors. Sometimes my bright ideas are at night when it is dark outside.
I may try the over the stove lighting for some macro shots like the spiral adjustable ring she showed me how to make.
