[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 165779, member: 12214"] 6-29-13: Since the rain has not stopped since it started last night, I figured that this afternoon would be a good time to catch up on photographing some of my recently completed knitting projects. Below are two scarves that I finished a few weeks ago but never got around to recording their looks. These scarves are part of the half-dozen or so scarves I make every year as extras and make great birthday and holiday gifts without going crazy right before the holidays. One thing that I have found when photographing small knitting projects such as scarves, socks, hats & mittens is that I get much truer color reproduction when I photograph them inside, use flash, and hang them on the old antique oak bench. The wall behind the bench is an oyster white. All I know is that I get better color balance than taking their photos outside. I did have to laugh about one thing. I lined my camera up with the bottom of a picture frame that hangs above the bench. Somehow, I did not think to check that it was level. It wasn't, and my photos came out slightly askew. Thankfully, ViewNX2 has that straighten function. Hopefully, next time I will remember to straighten the picture first. :) [B]Multi-Color Ripple Scarf[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]42155._xfImport[/ATTACH] [B]White Garter Rib Lace Scarf[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]42156._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
