the lighting this morning is perfect! it is overcast, my favorite time to shoot pics of my pieces... but (dun dun dun duuuuuuun) it did not coincide with nap time... & you know they are going to end up sleeping all day - it's raining!
what takes the most time for you when you shoot? lighting? a camera that just won't get in close enough? figuring out a good backdrop? editing?
mine is keeping the pieces on the paper or stool or whatever...
it must have taken 20 minutes to get a few shots of a pair of earrings... why do i bother? because i have to help out with a baby shower for the teacher at school today (hopefully showering before it!) , then drop the kids off at the movies, go to tae kwon do, etc, etc...
i think lorelei may have it right - shots on the body at least keep the jewelry where it should be!
