Terry replied to Lyn Clinton's discussion Photographing your work"I do not have much experience (or a lot of success) taking quality pics of my embroidery, but I have learned some basics that I am now applying. Essentially, I agree with Carol-Ann: the best detail and color can be captured when you place your work…"

Carol-Anne replied to Lyn Clinton's discussion Photographing your work"I like to take lots of progress pics so the light not always perfect.

Deb Lee replied to Lyn Clinton's discussion Photographing your work"I use a simple digital camera as well and I when I take photos depending on the item I chose the background, sometimes using boxes draped with a solid fabric to raise the item. The best plain background I use is a tri-fold project display…"

Alternatively, I set up the camera on a tripod and then use the timer…"
Linda replied to Lyn Clinton's discussion Photographing your work"I have tried lots of different ways. I only have a small digital camera, but it does have a good optic zoom, and a macro feature. I have found outside but out of the direct sunlight gives me a better photograph. I do live where the…"
"I use the macro setting on my digital camera and take the photo in good light. I have had fun putting my work in a setting background with flowers etc but of late I have just been using a plain cloth as a background. I take my photos in the morning…"
Emily replied to Lyn Clinton's discussion Photographing your work"I've had a lot of trouble getting good shots, but I have improved them a bit lately. I turn on the flash, and up the exposure compensation up a couple notches. That really helped a lot. I zoom in a bit and hold the camera…"
Linda J Calverley replied to Lyn Clinton's discussion Photographing your work"I'm glad I have a digital camera, then I can take as many photos as I like & delete a lot of them if they don't turn out. I rarely 'set' them up as I haven't got the equipment either. My best shots usually happen on a…"
