I'd been making do with something I'd constructed out of poster board for almost a year now. Initially I wanted to see if it would help with lighting. It did. But it was flimsy, so I spent half my photographing time holding it up.
I bought it about a month ago. I only just got around to setting it up and trying it out.
I figured I might as well take pictures of the second walking purse...
I'm rather pleased with how these came out. And I'm quite happy that all I had to do was set up the light box and not worry about the whole thing toppling over as I shot.
This is my second attempt at this purse. (If you want to know why this is a walking purse, the explanation is here.) I made a few modifications. Mainly, I changed out the border...
I have not lined it yet. As I finished the putting together of it just before the cold hit, I'll blame illness (although "just" before is rather stretching things).
I plan to write up the pattern at some point. I'll add it to my ever growing list of published patterns.
The bead that I'm using as a button rather looks like a soap bubble...
I'm rather pleased with the purse. And the light box. I still have a ways to go before I feel comfortable with it, but it feels way more comfortable than how I felt when I got the new camera. So, progress.
That's great you got a light box! I bet you were wondering after you got it and used it why it took so long to get one in the first place! I do like your walking purses!

The light box certainly lights it up evenly.
ReplyDeleteThe purse is cute
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThat's a really pretty purse! I like the pattern and the color. Nice job with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe photos really do look good, so it must have been a worthwhile investment. I feel like that first pick there is the purse equivalent of a glamour shot. Maybe someday you'll be able to publish a book of all those patterns.
ReplyDeleteYour cute purse is highlighted nicely. I never thought about using a light box for picture taking. The Husband used on years ago when he was drawing cartoons.
ReplyDeleteIt displays your works better. I like it.
ReplyDeleteDimensions of the purses would be nice.
I almost photo'd it with a ruler, but then didn't. It's smartphone sized, the larger smartphones. (I'll put measurements in the next time.)
DeleteThe pictures look good. I had a lightbox, but never figured out how to set up the lights and have it work. Everything came out grey.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's no good.
DeleteReal like texture of the purse. Like to see your light box and more crafts, please.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
I love it! The purse and the lighting.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe lighting is good - it showcases your work, and both purses are very well done. I love the textures and colors and the fastener on the brown bag.
ReplyDelete*doh*, that first bag is black... (Yeah, the lighting was really bad for that one. It was just after the deluge...)
DeleteThe lighting really helps showcase the purses. They are so cute and love the blue one (of course)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe light box does an awesome job. And I'm totally in love with that bubble button. It's very cool.
