And so the journey begins….on a bit of a bumpy road! After a day of productive crafting and
thoughtful brainstorming, Kristin and I decided to start this blog. Not thinking too much of it, I sat down to
write my first post and immediately found that I have a lot to learn about
blogging…
#1 – You need pictures, and they can’t be all pictures of
the finished product
Said pictures of our crafting day will be all of the finished product.
Said pictures of our crafting day will be all of the finished product.
#2 – Taking pictures can be difficult – taking GOOD pictures is even MORE difficult
Said pictures will not be very good, let's say that my picture quality could be a place where the blog "needs improvement”. I mean we can’t start
out as star bloggers right away! J
When taking pictures you have to think of the background, the lighting, and make
sure the actual product looks just as good as it does in real life – and let me
tell you, it is NOT easy.
I should have known this, I mean blogging is really all
about the pictures. Even if I was the most eloquent
writer (I mean better than Shakespeare) a blog still needs pictures…so
here goes my story of trying to take a picture of the Christmas Cards I made.
Too dark. Then I tried the brown bar stool...
Still too dark and uncentered.
Clearly didn’t learn from the first try.
Third attempt was on the stair railing...
No good. This just
looks like a blurry card on a stair railing. But to keep in the Christmas spirit,
maybe the stockings would work...
Nope. The focus
clearly has left the card, and went to the cute stocking holders. So I went to something that would display the card as its focus – the kitchen floor...
No. Didn’t work either.
As beautiful as the floor is, no one wants to look at the floor. So we went to the kitchen counter...
I am not sure this was a success either, but I was running
out of places to put the dang card and thinking I was being ridiculous as I
wandered around the house looking for someplace to “get a good picture” with
it.
The card is cute.
I promise.
That’s all I have for today!
