@scott : I agree on photographing Carnival. It's just about impossible to capture iridescence with 100% accuracy. Closest you can come is outdoors on a totally overcast day, which gives nice, "flat" lighting. Light background for dark colored pieces & a dark blue or black background for White, Ice Green etc. It's not 100% accurate, but about as close as you can get.
Up here in Maine, photographing Carnival for ebay listings becomes a problem in winter. It can be -20 or -30 below zero out there & you just cannot take the glass outside in those kind of temps.
