    I have not been able to find either the punch bowl or the cups but I don't have any books on EAPG and have been limited to on line... Any help greatly appreciated! Punch Bowl measures 15" across by 6 1/2" high with a 5 1/4" base.

    Thank you so much Tallcakes for the ID's :) and thank you Marie..I find if I am shooting clear glass it always looks better if I edit it to black and white, then use the white point levels...

    AH yes, I actually know what you're talking about ;-) I am a graphic designer and spend quite a lot of time working in Photoshop. I have also converted clear glass photos to black and white, it really helps as it gets rid of colors reflected from surrounding items.

    I once had a problem and had to reshoot a whole batch of costume jewelry because I was wearing a green sweater. One of the biggest problems in costume jewelry is old pieces not properly stored develop a green colored corrosion and all my shots looked like the jewelry was covered in it!

    akkk!!! Shooting photos is bad enough, and I REALLY hate it if I have to re-shoot!! Thank god for digital cameras!! I sell pretty much anything that will pay the bills , so I have to take pics of all sorts of different stuff, glass or anything with a shinny surface is my absolute least favorite items to shoot! My husband is a studio potter and I hate trying to take pics of pots with shinny surfaces!!! What I do is before I photograph an item I go to the completed lists and view by highest price first and scroll till I find a photo that just pops out at you, then I see what they have done and try to recreate it. :)

    Yea, shiny is a problem. Sometimes when I see photos I have taken of shiny jewelry I feel like I should wave, I see myself with the camera in the reflection!
