I took the liberty of making myself a little light box in which to snap some better photographs. The tutorial is here.
Thank you Darren!
Because I’m a bit slow with scissors (well, a utility knife this go ’round), it took a couple of hours to make it. I even ironed the fabric for the sides and top. This is remarkable, since I have only ironed a couple of times in my life (that’s 4 decades now, thank you very much). I failed to burn myself, which is a bonus.
Here are a few of my photos from the trial session. I think I need to bump up the lighting. I am very open to constructive criticism!
Those are a couple of hand dyed yarns (‘berries’ and ‘rainforest’ at top and bottom) with a some socks that I’m working on (another hand dye without a name). The colors, they make me smile.
What a simple light box technique! I think the photos are nice and bright. However, I like my closeups of yarn to not be so close up. I think the sock photo is lovely. But perhaps it is just the size of the photo?
Keep it up!
What a simple tut for a light box! I’m a beginner photographer and working on improving my skills. This will be very helpful!
Love the photo of the sock. The yarn photos came out good as well. The close up of the purple really shows the details. It’s up close and personal
I do like being able to see more of the yarn as in the photo of the green yarn.
Once in a while, I get to travel 200 miles and see the yarn for real. It is really beautiful. And the soap scents are lovely. I wash windows and pull weeds very well, thank you! This is real art or real folk art! Aesthetically, a treat.
