I'm on pins and needles, as we say in America!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855246678927817071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064110980620244732.post-26640244411844394172011-10-06T08:28:15.549-07:002011-10-06T08:28:15.549-07:00HAHA!

I don't believe I've ever heard of anyone being tossed to the wallabies... though we do say 'Ill feed ya to the gallahs'. <br /><br />And you may pester me as much as you like, I like to think it's what I'm here for.<br /><br />I'll ramp the props post up the list of priorities- hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. It'll be a double-banger, with lots of tips on basic camera settings and lighting, since people seem to often have trouble with these.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064110980620244732.post-63913261459540871362011-10-03T06:50:39.143-07:002011-10-03T06:50:39.143-07:00You are amazingly fast (especially for someone who...You are amazingly fast (especially for someone who's on vacation); thank you SO much for your feedback.<br /><br />Erm. The bleached wood is not going to be available to me for the forseeable future, as I have settled into my school abode once more; I have the outdoor choice between the black crinkly or pavement. Inside . . . a wooden table.<br /><br />I cannot WAIT until your props post. You have a true gift, Sparrow. How many times can I bother you about perfecting my technique before you toss me to the wallabies (as I imagine they say in Australia)?Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855246678927817071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064110980620244732.post-52380057176656262792011-10-02T22:55:10.311-07:002011-10-02T22:55:10.311-07:00Luck is on your side!

I love the angle on the 3rd last picture (where you see a hint of geode!) and as you said daylight would help enormously here. I also love the angle on the 3rd pic from the top- if you can get that angle on a more suitable background you'll be home and hosed (as we say here in Australia). <br /><br />The pale blue is a great contrast colour to the brown tones in your necklace, but honestly I think the bleached wood you use in some of your shop listings is a fantastic background, so I would try building on that.Maybe tear that blue fiber paper in half and layer that on the bleached wood, with the geodes and lace just visible? (I'm doing a post on props soon!)Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.com
