Taking photos in natural light - big pics

[Kevan]

Since I moved into this trailer while our house is being built I put my light box and lights in storage. I decided to sell some of the beads we had accumulated on Justbeads and started taking pictures in natural light.

I have found that when it's overcast here the light is great for doing this.

I just put these beads on a white melamine shelf and sat them outside.

I love how even the light is! Only problem, it hasn't been over cast again when there wasn't a 20 mph wind. So I tried taking some inside when the direct sun was coming through frosted glass window.

Today I put the white shelf over the kitchen sink and with the overcast light coming in behind them and the window on the otherside they looked like this.
