Photography

no flash - auto mode - artificial light

Jodi, from Pleasant Home has been doing a series of posts on taking better pictures for your blog.  Teresa, from Meadowbrook Farm has been doing a series on photography as well.  I have been practicing.

I can tell that the natural light is much better except I do like the first picture, even though that might be because I like the richness of colors and patterns around the vase.

This picture, of my new book, however, doesn't photograph well under artifical light.   Sometimes, when the skies of Michigan are seemingly forever gray, I have to take pictures in artificial light.

Jodi is going to be doing a post on taking pictures in artificial light so I'm looking forward to those tips.  Compared to these women, I have a long way to go.  Practice, practice, practice.  My camera is a Canon Rebel XT.  Have a wonderful day today, friends!

Hugs,

  2. Renee the graphics on the Opal book are just darling. I can only imagine the inside. I have terrible issues with digital cameras. Would you believe I have a smallish photography background. The old film photography where I felt more in control. The digital just throws me off every time...Your photos look great. My studio has no natural light..probably why I give up everytime. thanks for sharing...Renee

  4. Can't wait to hear what you think about that book. I saw it at the book store the other day and loved the cover. I judge and purchase books by their cover. :)

  5. I always love your photos. I really need a good camera. I love natural light, but the glow from artificial is also pretty for some things. Like everyone, I love the cover of your book. Come back with a review when you are finished.
    Thanks for sharing links to the blogs. I'm going to check them out.

  6. I've been learning a lot from Jodi, too. I remember those endless gray days while we lived in Michigan! Hopefully, they will be fewer now with Spring approaching. You already do a great job with your photos!

  8. I keep thinking I want a better camera and then I remember that I will have to learn to use it...I simply don't have time to learn everything I want to learn! *sigh*
