>First try at making Christmas Ornaments. Seems like everyone likes them. Thinking of giving them as Christmas Presents to family. Having trouble with my lighting. Using Halogen lamps with white curtain background, should I be using a silver background to get rid of the yellow. Thanks all comments welcome.

>I like them all, but should confess that I am partial to the finial in the first one.
How far was the background from the ornaments? Maybe it did not get enough light.

>If you are using a digital camera, there should be in the menu settings a place to change it for the type lighting you are using.
Also, turn off any lights in room that may be of different type.

>Don is right. Ideally you should have a tungsten white balance setting. If you don't and only have an Auto setting then you'll have to correct the color in your software.
You could filter the lights or put a filter on the camera but hopefully you have the right setting on the camera. The symbol for the tungsten setting on digital camera's is usually and light bulb.
