I agree with you, I like the one with the blurry roses in the back the best. (Your roses--I love when they show up in a quilt photo!)

I take pics with a point and shoot Canon - it's not a bad camera - has lots of adjustments I can do, but I don't know how to use all those settings. I usually edit with the software in my laptop - resize and sometimes auto adjust the color. Never tried the "sharpen" feature, but maybe I should. We live on a heavily wooded lot, so the house is dark inside. I am usually doing the blog thing at night anyway - so no outdoor pics. I would like to know how to take better photos. Maybe I will pop over to Plum and June. I just always feel intimidated by those people with those expensive, fancy cameras. I would love to find someone to help me do better with the camera I have.<br /><br />I love your first pic the best, too.

Even though my...I should do next month's theme. Even though my blog mostly consists of cell phone photos and quick edits (hey, I'm busy - can't sew, blog, work and picture!), I'm actually adept at photos and lighting. I could probably post something useful! For example, the problem you're responding to in the pictures with the white background is an issue with the white balance. White is very difficult color to capture with digital cameras, it really confuses the crap out of them. Can you see how it is really blue-ish and the hue tints the rest of the picture too? I *think* the iphone has an exposure adjustment option that could help with that. <br /><br />Another thing you might be responding to and don't even know it - the inside pictures are messier than the outside pictures. Just ironing out the wrinkles in the sheet and straightening up the stack would have made a big difference. Another trick is to change the crop. The picture of the fabrics in a circle has them cropped out on the right and left, but not the top and bottom. What about trying a tight square crop showing none of the white? Yes - crazy, but worth a try. :)<br /><br />Please don't kill me. I'm really trying to be helpful and not obnoxious. :DSusan at TheBoredZombie.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087416472619298547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-90115579445835320692013-08-25T21:00:23.670-05:002013-08-25T21:00:23.670-05:00I love the first picture!!
