Isn't it cool? What is it, you ask? Ah, something I totally need...
Okay, so that picture isn't great. I was trying to do these photos only on my phone, but using a mirror...
It's a light that clips on my phone, or what's called a "selfie light". (If that link doesn't work, search "selfie light" or "ring light" to get something similar.)
The minute I saw it, I knew I needed one. No, I don't take a lot of selfies, but I do use my phone camera a lot to take pics of what I'm knitting. And usually it's at night, and I want to post them to Instagram. So, I have to find a good light, get everything set up, and hope...
Nah. No more.
So now, instead of getting this...
...when I go to take a picture, I get this...
...(and I didn't edit the picture).
I took this during the day. At night it's going to be even nicer. Score!
(The pictures are of my current on-the-needles project. Which I'm not going to talk about right now. It's kind of an experiment, so I'm not sure if it's going to work like I want. If it goes terribly wrong, I'll rip it all out when done. Also, I'm engaged in a round of yarn chicken, so it might be even more of a disaster.)
LOL with the yarn chicken; I had to look it up to see what it meant. Cute term! Seems like a good gift to yourself with the selfie light. Not that I take selfies but I can see the benefit of the light especially for the purpose you got it for!

Don’t you love new toys?
ReplyDeleteI do.
DeleteNeat little device.
ReplyDeleteIt does look so much brighter! You'll definitely get a lot of use out of that.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference. Lightens it all up.
ReplyDeleteIt does.
DeleteI didn't know what it was at first - but I can see how useful that would be!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! And I read that you're in pain with a migraine, so best wishes. ~virtual hug~ Those can be terrible.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hopefully it's only a migraine...
DeleteNever heard of a selfie light, but it works brilliantly. What a cool toy. It's always fun to get a new toy, but even better when it works a treat. Between it and your light box, no excuses with your photos now *wink*
ReplyDeleteNeat little toy. Yarn chicken. I've played that before without knowing there was a name for it. Let's see, I've taken so long on certain projects that the color yarn is discontinued. Or, the chain goes out of business and the yarn was a store brand. Yup.
ReplyDeleteIt's an apt name, don't you think?
DeleteNever heard of selfie light
ReplyDeleteGlad that something like this worked for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very clever idea!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? That's why I knew I needed one.
DeleteLooks like a sweet collar for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a bit large for her. She's a bitty thing.
DeleteI had no idea they made a selfie light but I totally see why you need one. That’s amazing at the difference between both pics.
