The last big one I had were those Ribbed socks completed earlier this month. That day could not have been better; I took hundreds of photos! A foot would be blurry in one shot ("this would be terrible for ravelry, I wouldn't measure up!"), or a stick would be in the way("this is garbage compositionally").
I'm glad I had the chance to experiment with two of the types of photos that don't see the light of day usually. :D Among other things that I tried today:
Messing with filters/levels (well, I always did, but they're veeery apparent this time!
Moving the watermark outside of the photo itself and working with transparent PNGs (although flickr might have flattened them and made them opaque)
Adding writing. I've been wanting to fit my cruddy handwriting into photos! It feels more personal than using someone's typeface.
Anywho, this was fun! I'll definitely make a habit of this in the future. I tried some things that didn't work out too well, but that's half of the joy of experimentation! The other half would be finding stuff that does work. :]
