I keep getting blue/gray tints around the edges of my photos and will have to read up on remedies for that. Shadows are another trick. I have to move my lights around to minimize shadows and sometimes I forget (see below).

Sewing and Item Photography
After deciding my self-taught innovation could use some informed technique, I tried using a pattern (my first since junior high). Of course, I couldn't leave it alone and made numerous improvements, such as an extra five pockets. The result is this babe in the gorgeous fabric. 
My re-arranged sewing space in the basement led me to create a new indoor photography area. I'm not happy with it, and will need to reinvent the space again soon. I'm finally getting a smidge better at white balance, but much experimentation is still needed.

The butcher paper roll that I hung from the joists above is not wide enough for large shots. I think I'll end up painting part of the wall, though it will mean covering up a mural that holds good memories (see post on my basement walls)

Brian will be so sad if you paint your wall! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bag. I like seeing it on the dress form, or I wouldn't have realized how big it is. Photography can be so time-consuming. Hopefully you'll get your space set up just right. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bag! I could totally use all those pockets cause I have two kids, and it would be nice to separate their stuff from mine! Good luck with the photography... It's so frustrating sometimes, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I agree with Lazy T...seeing it on the dress form really helps scale it.
ReplyDeleteI'd have a hard time covering up 1996 paint party images, too! What about a 4 x 8 sheet of luan board in lieu of the butcher paper? Would 4' be wider than the paper?
very nice bag!!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag. What if you used a white sheet/white flannel and hang it from the ceiling and unroll it as needed? For the blue and shadows your photo software should have the ability to make adjustments. Or, if you have photoshop, you can definitely make the adjustments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the help!
ReplyDeleteI do have a king size white sheet I can use.
Now I just need to learn my camera better. Paying for Photoshop software would be wise, too.
Your bag is gorgeous!! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteLovely bag. My photography methods are constantly changing too, trying to get better at a variety of items. It's challenging, but fun!
