It's All About Light

Photographing tips all boil down to one thing: Light.

Without enough light, your photos appear dark and unappealing. Who wants to buy something that they cannot see?

Thus, finding a way to light your products for photographing becomes very important - low light, low sales.

I have been working on my photos, and have found that even in cases where my photos come out darker than I first thought, I can still correct through a simple and easy program called Picassa. Any photo editor can accomplish the basic light adjustments you may need to make - I just happened to have Picassa already loaded on my computer. I like it because it allows you to make basic light changes on entire batches of photos at a time, resulting in less time invested in fiddling with the computer, and more time for you to craft!

My small term goals for the week are to list at least one paternoster each day, and at the end of the week, to post links to http://www.paternosterladies.etsy.com on several of the message boards and sites which my SCA group frequents.

Until tomorrow . . .
