A thought...

Would anyone be interested in a series on photographing quilts, and just photography in general?  Not taught by me, that's for sure!  I'm shocked my photos even make it to the blog.  I'm currently using a cheap point and shoot, editing on picasa, using a netbook with an iffy screen.  No, what I was thinking was interviewing some bloggers with great photo skills about what they use, how they got so good, and any tricks they can teach us less gifted shooters.  What do you think?  Any particular questions you would ask?  Or bloggers you would ask them of?

  2. I think this would be great! I'm never sure how to take really good pictures. I too use a point and shoot, but I think it is capable of really good pictures if I could learn the right way to use it, or how to create proper lighting situations, etc.

  3. And by the way, I've been scrolling through your blog for the last half hour and I have to say that your photography isn't horrible AT ALL. It's quite beautiful if you ask me.

  4. This sounds a great idea. Hmmm I'll have to think of questions...but definitely what lighting is best (natural or not), how much photo editing is done, whether whiting out the background is really advised or not (I know some blogs do this and I wonder if that is what improves their photography), how many shots to one good shot they really take (come on, I'd like to feel better knowing wouldn't you?), ooh and I'd love to get some commentary going on the issue of "do you shoot the whole quilt or not" argument that was just going on regarding the MQG. Do you know what I am speaking about???

  5. I love this idea! I don't have Photoshop (and most likely never will be able to justify the purchase!), only have a point-and-shoot, and have no experience! Any help would be great! I also love the above idea of homework & linky party! :)
