Thank you so much for the tip about the Trumpet bulbs! I just ordered some. I’ve been living the erratic life of ‘daylight stalker’ for a couple of years trying to get properly lit shots for my yarns. It’s crazy…and it’s 10 degrees outside so my pictures might have light, but now they’re blurry because I’m shivering while shooting them! Hopefully these will allow me to finally come inside. Thanks again.

[...] Excellent pictures. Very important. I made the above picture taking box with foam board and duct tape. I also used this box to take the pencil roll pictures for my Etsy listings. I talked about the lighting here. I took all my photos at night. The trumpet light bulbs totally rule (I think I’ve been around my kids too much, thank goodness school starts on Monday!). [...]

I’m glad you found Holly’s and my “Shoot That Quilt!” website helpful, Kathy. Combining our knowledge to create the site was both hard work and great fun. Our main message was simplicity. As Holly said, once you understand a few basics, anybody can take good photos… and do it without spending big bucks on either cameras or lights!

Kathy, just stumbled across your site and was excited to see your posts above in which you were able to use our instructions – so glad to be of help, and so great to see the shot of the light stands you built based on our tips! Thanks for posting about our tips, too, as we enjoy spreading the word in any way that we can. It really isn’t that hard once you get a few of the basics in place!

That’s a great link to photography tips. Thanks a bunch! Most of the online information is geared towards the professional photographers with the high-end SLRs. But I just have a nice point-and-shoot and don’t really want to get into manual mode just yet.
