With all of this dreary, sleety, cold weather I was having such a hard time getting decently lit photos.
So we invested in some lights and a backdrop/ photo set up for the basement. I'm still playing with how best to angle the lights. I'm thinking I may need more(?)Anyone have any good tips? I'm not at all photo technique savvy :0
I did manage to finish up this pocket clutch~ another from the same pattern as my previous post.
These are getting set aside for presents. But I may have trouble parting with them ;)
Here's a treasury by Needlebook-she's got a great shop, and blog & she's featured my coffee cozy here. Thanks Claire!
Have a warm Week ; )

The pics look great! Are you using anything to diffuse the light? I learned a lot from googling micro studios, but there's still no replacement for natural light. I got a micro studio similar to this and it's been great for those rainy (or snowy) days. http://www.amazon.com/Recorder-Compact-Photo-Studio-Box/dp/B002RL8IPY
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
It's great...
So excited about your interview with us tomorrow!

I think your photos look great! I know it's hard to get good ones with dark, dreary weather. I have been thinking about buying, or making a lightbox for myself.
thanks everyone :)
mine is a huge backdrop and free standing lights with those umbrella looking attachments-i think i just need more or know how to aim them...
Lighting has always been my downfall too....I know nothing! I learn as I go....and yes these days of dullness have hampered my photo taking too...good idea to invest in some lighting.

I think your photos look great! I have a lightbox and managed to drop two lights on the floor and can't get the bulbs out! Crazy! But I agree natural lighting is the best - but nothing like a white background. Love the clutch!
thanks so much for the link!
my tip is that if you get shadows on the other side of the item you can use a white card held up on that side to reflect the light.
Other than that I use photoshop "levels" a lot to lighten up my photos - although my camera does have a setting for that but I rarely use it.
I like the widget you used for the treasury - I've bookmarked it!
claire-
thanks i'm going to try that!
