The Quilt Photography Workshop - September Link Up

To learn about our September link up, see here.

So as requested I shall say nothing about these photographs above, I simply leave them for you to wonder!

The Quilt Photography Workshop

August and the first of the Quilt Photography Workshop groups.

Today the lesson is all about photos of fabrics.  So armed with my trusty Canon EOS 550D  camera, I trotted off and took some photos of fabric.

I didn't do very well I'm afraid - wasn't confident enough to use the personal settings - used the preset ones, mostly Close up. I seem to have lost confidence in using the personal settings - I'm hoping that this course will help me get over it.

Here are the photographs that I took:

I know that the picture above is messy, but I do like the way the fabric looks

I love the fabric in this one, though the chair sneaked into it! Here's another first - I am going to try and crop this photograph, something I have never done. We will see how I went at the end of this post!

Don't know what possessed me to put this frangipani with the fabrics, but I did, I think the fabrics look lovely and silky.

Hung the fabrics up on the clothes line over a bright blanket - I thought it might show them up prettier -= the black ones it did, but not the others. The sun also was in the wrong spot

again the sun is glarey, but I love this fabric against the orange - no I don't, it shows the holes in the blanket - I'll have to crop this one also!! (It is an old blanket)

So I have made some adjustments to the photographs - had a great time doing it, and taught myself lots - so here are the cropped photographs:

Wow, doesn't this look so much better after cropping!

I got rid of the holes in the old blanket - much better!

Here is one that I didn't show before - again, I don't know why I thought the Buddha's head would help!

If you would like to join in with us all, go to Plum and June HERE and join the fun!

See you there....
