More New Photos

First of all, thanks for all your comments on my last post. Good to see I'm not the only one who LOVES pink. Since I signed up on Facebook, a friend got me hooked on playing that game Farmville and I'm dying to buy a little pink house for my farm...so sad!

As I am writing this post the husband and his mother are on their way here to Las Vegas. Hopefully he is not too stressed out. He has been calling me all the time while he has been away. Mostly because of his mother, though also because he misses me and of course, I miss him. Last Friday I went and stayed with friends which was great because we spent most of the time in the pool or making jewelry. Works for me. My friend Jenny had ordered me these pieces and I managed to get some shots before I had to move my "photo studio" to the closet since it is in the bedroom the MIL will be using. I just love the little pillow.


I definitely think that on the whole my photos are improving all the time. There are some that when I've taken them I though they looked okay until I put them on the computer. No problem though as I'll just keep taking more.


This last one is one of my favorites. I think it really shows off the square wire rings of this piece and that (to me) is the high-light of it. Though I do love the chainmaille weave which is called Full Persian.


Hope everyone has a great week.

Photography Tutorials

Are you familiar with Moonangelnay and her brilliant blog which has some amazing photography tutorials?? If you are not, then you need to! Thanks to these tutorials I think I have gotten a better hang of getting my product photos to a point where the only thing I need to do is crop them. Isn't that the secret to great product photos? Not having to adjust much of anything with photo editing software?


I've included in this post, a few of Naomi's photos to show you how good she is and so (in my opinion) makes her more than qualified to give advice.

All of Naomi's articles can also be found on Handmade Spark. You definitely need to take some time to read these tutorials as they will help you immensely as they have me. One thing I have learned about product photography is to always strive for better photos. Even when you think you have it down pat you need to constantly be working at them. I certainly hope you get as much out of the tutorials as I have.
