So maybe I should find it comforting that nothing has changed. 😐 ~Newsflash~ I do not, I find it incredibly frustrating, I keep trying, better camera, hands not steady get a tripod, better lighting, adjust the settings, adjust the lighting, just keep trying. Now I am living in yet another "new" house with limited windows, weird lights, and to my horror . . . colored walls in every room.
I have been trying all week to photograph the art. I have tried different sides of the room, shifting the lighting, draping the easel trying to get more white in the picture to balance out the blue-ness of the walls.
I am not really happy with any of the hundreds of shots over days of trying. The cloudy raining days the colors look off, other days the angles were off, and the varnish just reflects the lights and everything is fuzzy. 😣
Yes, fuzzy as in my camera refuses to focus, a feeling we share. 😅 Now none of this failure or frustration changes the fact that I have a ton of canvases to photograph and list. Nothing changes the fact that I have to have photos to list them for sale on the website, so I have no choice but to keep trying different things until something works. Current thinking is I need to hang a large drop cloth/backdrop so I'm not shooting against the blue but it's a rental house, so I don't want to make a bunch of big holes in the walls. Also, the small side table I'm using isn't big enough, I want to set up the easel next a vase or something, ya' know, set a scene but there's not enough room.
So, this week has been kind of a bust and I feel like I didn't really accomplish anything, except learning that getting good photos in this house is going to be harder than I thought. 😏
