A Better Photo!
Thank you so much Valerie for a link to this article on light tents. It worked! And the "tent" I used for this shot was just a pillowcase and a couple of lights. Much better! And after I construct a better tent, my pictures will hopefully continue to improve. Thank you so much, Valerie!
I'm so glad you mentioned the light tents! This looks like just the info I need to help me get better food and knitting snaps for the blog, especially with daylength shortening.

Gorgeous picture! I may have to play with building light tents, too...
I love that colorway! So... mind spinning up, say, 2,000 yards of worsted weight in the color for my St. Brigid? (Just kidding, of course. But if I could find something just like that in my LYS, I'd die and go to knitting heaven.)

Thanks for bringing that tip to my attention. Color can look so whacked out sometimes.

Yum. I liked it a lot the first time, even better in this shot. I think it would be gorgeous in a lace weight as well. I'm going to have to get you to dye me some to play with ;-)

A light tent. What a cool idea that is! I'm going to have to try that . . .

Thanks for the great link. I'll admit that I never read the giant instruction book that came with my camera and now I'm thinking I should. Fiddling with my camera settings and using a light tent might be enough to even shoot Koigu right.

Great photography tip. I've gotta try that for pix of bright, shiny objects!

That is an awesome article. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. I've been plagued by awful pictures lately too. Grrr.
