The Effect of Illumination Conditions and Camera Position on the Photographs of Cut Glassware

JSGT 1936 V20 T119-T122

 The effect was studied of camera position and mode of lighting and the reflection factor of the background screen on the photographs obtained of a cut glass jug. Different conditions emphasised different features. Specular reflection from the cut surfaces was avoided by the use of completely diffuse illumination, and some photographs were taken with a small amount of direct light in addition to the uniform illumination obtained with diffused lighting.
