More pics to follow, just a quick few before I go out.

Nice! Lovely assortment of colors visible there in front --the pearls shine so much!

What size are these? They are enchanting.

Raisondetre,
It's so beautiful !!! It just glows on your neck. Is it the 8-9mm? I vaguely remember reading that you bought the 8-9.

[boo]

They are beautiful on you!

[Raisondetre]

LOL Couldn't afford the 8-9 mm. These are 7-8 mm but I'm very impressed with the assortment of colors. There are alot of mauves and pinks, and a smattering of coppery colors. Apart from the multicolor AA+ rope I got from TPO, this is my only other multicolor strand. I'm not normally a fan but this is so pretty. The mauves seem to have a very distinct oil slick appearance, and the luster is amazing.

Will try to take a few more pics before the sun sets. It's very cloudy today so the results might not be ideal.

Just bear with me while I fiddle with the different modes. I'm trying out the paper towel trick for the first time as well.

Portrait mode, automatic.

All the photos are taken with the Canon Ixus izoom which is a couple years old now.

Automatic - too dark


Manual - washed out


Night snapshot - a little bit lighter than the strand


My colors - most accurate of the lot

Then I tried fiddling with the settings of My Colors, which is supposed to be custom.

Zoom in to max with My Colors, no other tweaking


Vivid Blue


Vivid Green

Vivid Red


As above, different light settings:

My Colors, dark and light skin tone settings:





I would have to say the last picture is closest to real life, thought still a tad darker, but with different lighting the pearls just look so different.

Still not happy with the pics. I really like the way PGDesign takes hers. I don't know if I'm blocking the light or something, but my pics still look like it's printed on cheap newspaper.

Oh, wow! Sigh....

The pearls look liquid! They glow!

If something will ever teach me to keep track of my time, this will.

Hi Raison,

Those look the most fabulous right there on your neck!! Any single pearls qualify as bubble gum pink? I keep looking for some for you!!!

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

[Raisondetre]

There *might* be a couple - I had to look really hard on a white background in indirect sunlight. I don't think I'll ever get enough to make a whole strand, sigh.
