Tiffany-Style Stained-Glass Lampshade
Double source incandescent and fluorescent lighting
- colored glass back-lit by compact fluorescent and side-lit by tungsten incandescent bulbs
The pinks and yellows and greens here are pretty close to the original stained-glass colors in a lovely Tiffany-style lamp which I enjoy every time I turn it on.
Accurately reproducing colors lit by two different light sources is tricky at best. I'm not satisfied with the results here, and so I will be working on this set-up again.

This boggles my brain. How could you balance the two? In setting your studio lights or a set filter in processing or in the camera? Or do it by eye? Magic wand time... :)
The camera settings were baffled and so were the pre-sets in Photoshop. In the end, I was able to get the colors pretty close to the original by eye-balling the monitor against the lampshade as I was making the adjustments.
I think that this would be a good exercise to do again using two bulbs with the same light temperature.
Yes, that would be interesting -- once with one and again with the other pair. Funny that the human eye could do what the computers could not.
