Say Cheese!
With my camera bag securely fastened over my
shoulder and a few spare batteries in my pocket I made my way to Birmingham
yesterday to spend the day on a photography course! Focussing on close up or
“macro†shots (as they say in the biz) it was the perfect opportunity for me
(Fran here) to learn about getting even better product shots for our website.
Every year we have a photo-shoot
courtesy of David Golding Wedding Photography. It’s a
great chance for us to get lots of new and exciting photos for the year
ahead, learn what it takes to get the perfect shot and of course have a bit of
fun with confetti in the process…
Getting a good photo is really important to us.
Almost all of our confetti is sold via our website and for that we need good photos
to show our customers exactly what they are getting. After all… a picture says
a thousand words!
A lot of the course was spent introducing the basic
functions of your camera – Which buttons do what, how to change the depth of
field and what words like "aperture" mean. It was very interesting
and highlighted just how much I’d been relying on ‘auto’ mode up until then.
I've already started putting these new
skills to the test by taking a few snaps of the new Christmas products we have
coming to ‘Not On The High Street’. We now have a range
of festive wreaths and wheat sheaves to choose from, as well as some adorable confetti
baubles - A great eco-friendly alternative to hang on your Christmas tree this
year.
Sound like your sort of thing? Find out more about
these jolly products in Friday's blog...
Love as always SP xx
