The two pictures above were taken today in natural light. The two from the previous post were taken at night under my Ott-Lite. There's a huge differnce! I was also very fortunate that my dh got me a nice camera for Christmas. It's a Nikon D40. It's big and slightly bulky, but I love it. And I still need to learn a ton about. I also set the ISO to 1600, which really makes the stitching stand out. Don't ask me what ISO means, I just know it's an option. I'll have to look into that a little more. :) Like I said I really don't know much, but I do know natural lighting makes all the difference! I'd love to take a class one day. Well, I'm watching all the kids, so I'd better go! Write later!
Thank you for this entry! Now I definitely can't wait until spring when the sun will stay out!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always lovely Nicole. I love seeing all the threads lined up too, very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is really nice and that is what probably makes the picture so good!! My DH know so much about photography, I will ask him about the ISO. Garden Girl is really coming along!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stitching!!! I always LOVE your pictures - they are top quality.

Garden Girl is looking great, your photos always look so good.
ReplyDeleteYour photos a just lovely, Nicole. I received my LHN My Needle's Work chart/threads in the mail today. Just waiting on the fabric from another order I've placed elsewhere. Such a cute design.
ReplyDeleteNicole - you should definitely look at taking a class - I know that Nikon offers 2 free classes with the purchase of one of their SLR cameras (I know because I own one!).
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take more pictures in natural light - it's just very difficult in Chicago at this time of year! :)
