Testing, testing...

You may have noticed me complaining in the past that one of the hindrances to me progressing with my craft (ooh, does that sound pretentious, or what?) is that I have no permanent setup for taking decent photos...

Well, folks, that is about to change! I got myself a photo tent off eBay from Next-Gadgets Ltd, for about £10, and so far, it's a serious step up. Here's the first shot I took in it:
I still have some tweaking to do on the setup, such as the colour balance (as you'll notice, the white is, like, SUPER bright!), and I need to do some test shots at night, since that's when most of my work gets done. READ: that's when the toddler is asleep...

However, it's still a great little thing. I love the velvety backgrounds because they're non-reflective, and it all being in a tent means a lot less shadow. My next step is to get some kawaii Japanese fabric to make some backdrops with, just to jazz it up a bit!

Oooh, I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself!

Now, if I can just finish that DAMN DRESS and move onto some more fun things...
