I am starting a website to sell paracord bracelets, keychains, etc. Obviously, my product pictures are going to be very important to the site. I work in a cabinet shop, so I took a scrap piece of counter top and made a platform with two sides on it to take my pictures on, for a consistant background for all the shots. The color I picked out shows all my colors pretty well, but I'm having a slight problem. The problem I'm having, is different pics are coming out different colors, even with exactly the same lighting. I tried it with just the room light, but the color didnt show enough. I tried using the flash, but the flash changed the paracord colors way too much. I then took a desk lamp and tried lighting with that, but i'm getting two different shades of pictures. One shade is great, but the other has the stone looking background a redish tint, and throwing all the colors off. The camera is on a tripod, and I'm using the self timer, so that there's no movement to blur the pictures. It seems like the items with blue in them, tend to lead to the redish tent the most frequently. I'm using a nikon coolpics 5600 (thats the best camera I have access to). Does anyone have any idea what I can do differently (and cheaply) to get a consistant and accurate color?
