I do already have a book on digital photography, but it's boring and I've never used it. Now see what you've done!<br />liz<br /><a href="http://www.crow-cottage.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">crow cottage</a>lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398709106022505470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101492375245106792.post-2892497468150281272012-05-17T21:41:52.541+01:002012-05-17T21:41:52.541+01:00sorry comment below should have been in reply to y...sorry comment below should have been in reply to your comment... d'oh!Antheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719630480668686454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101492375245106792.post-69830955369770770682012-05-17T21:41:03.385+01:002012-05-17T21:41:03.385+01:00I think this method is really efffective when it c...I think this method is really efffective when it comes to product shoots. You need the image to tell the story of the product and convince potential customers that they MUST have it!

The 2 images you have chosen are really interesting. I might have to look for your photography book.<br />liz<br /><a href="http://www.crow-cottage.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">crow cottage</a>lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398709106022505470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101492375245106792.post-29507319377931312582012-05-17T15:29:56.395+01:002012-05-17T15:29:56.395+01:00Thanks for posting your link - I meant to add it t...Thanks for posting your link - I meant to add it to the end of the post but it was late... do try it again sometime, I found it really helpful - and I have a lovely gift idea for my dad too ;-)Antheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719630480668686454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101492375245106792.post-23183524041810475462012-05-17T13:14:57.359+01:002012-05-17T13:14:57.359+01:00I like the contact sheet idea and I'm amazed h...I like the contact sheet idea and I'm amazed how some of the images do leap out at you despite being with similar pictures. I particularly like the detailed shots like the lenses too.<br />My attempt at your BlogTogs idea is here: http://92three30.com/general/a-study-in-pictures/ It's not as detailed as yours and shows more of a process than a thing, but I found it interesting to do.Erica Pricehttp://www.92three30.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101492375245106792.post-31175152398519293692012-05-17T09:23:01.686+01:002012-05-17T09:23:01.686+01:00I think it's a brilliant way to really compare...I think it's a brilliant way to really compare shoots - it's how magazines pick the shots they use for publication. Seeing them all together like that is much more effective than viewing as a slideshow, although you do need to zoom in to check the picture is properly in focus as it's not always obvious from small contact sheet pics.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting xAntheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719630480668686454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101492375245106792.post-60110346231305818632012-05-17T09:18:15.567+01:002012-05-17T09:18:15.567+01:00Yes!!!

Hmm I love a bit of psychology!<br />Sue xThe Little White Clothing Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124776931429171709noreply@blogger.com
