I seem to be addicted to playing with muslin. Not to bore you, but here is more muslin work. I really am uploading these because I need to improve my photographs. I need to get better pictures of the stitching. So this is what I quilted today and how I photographed the quilting.
I’m inconsistent with the saturation. I like the first and last photographs the best. The other two are too yellow. Also, I suppose if I am going to take pictures I should spray away my markings and clip the threads. Nonetheless, the stitch definition is much better, which is what I was working on. I used a remote flash attachment so I could get the light at a thirty degree angle to the fabric, which apparently properly highlights the stitching. It’s a start. Feel free to provide suggestions on how to improve my photographs. One problem I can’t seem to perfect is my impatience with the process. Happy quilting.
PS: B. came up just after I posted the above photographs. He took a quick look and indicated my temperature was wrong on the middle two photographs. So now they look like this.

I can see that you are improving daily. Interesting note about the photography; I know nothing about photography. It’s so great that you have the time!
Thanks. And I am just now settling in and appreciating the time.
Thanks for the tip about 30 degree angle of light, I’m SO not good at photography. I love your quilting. Is this a quilt or practice squares? I’m new to FMQing and need all the help I can get!
Thanks Rita. This is practice for me, not a quilt, although I’ll use it somehow! I think the range is actually 30 degrees to 45 degrees for the light source. I used one source, but I believe it would be optimal to use two sources opposite each other, but I don’t have the equipment.
Hmm, I’ll have to try two light sources next time I photograph.
