[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 2622985, member: 301"]Many items photograph differently.... Daylight is usually the best light... Learn how to use your camera.....or 'phone' ... they are more sophisticated than one might think.. Close up....near or far.....make the damn thing crisp and clear.... even the best photo assist program, can't fix a fuzzy pic ! Find a good photo program....and learn it ! It can make a good pic...a great pic ! Choose a neutral background ..... never photograph a $1000 vase up against the flowers in your backyard.... & don't photo a ring...on your hand....your fingers will come out sharp... The ring WILL NOT ! A shadow box is a good investment for smalls ! For 3 dimensional items...photo the front...back...top , & bottom...! If you photograph an item with a mirror....or flat glass.... wear clothes... We can see you !!:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: For close ups.....practice...& remember....you don't need to be one inch from the item....let the camera do the work ! & finally........we all screw up...at one time or another.....so take lots of pics...and delete the crappy ones....;):happy::happy:[/QUOTE]
