    Thanks for the tips--not too long ago I sent a query on how to take quilt pics. Those answers and this one will really help.

    Great tips for taking pics of our quilts-I never even thought of taking pics outside until last yr when I was trying to take pics of my scrap book pages and the house I was living in at the time was very dark. Thanks again.

    a couple of tips that I learned long ago (before digitials)

    1) hold you breath ~ just before/as you 'click'

    2) If possible bring your elbows into your ribs/sides, you will be making your own tripod with your body.

    I have found that these two tips keep me from having those fuzzy pictures (most of the time)

    Great tips. I don't always spread the quilt out to photograph. Here is a picture of a quilt I made for my dnl and son for Christmas and this is the photograph I liked best.

    Ragdoll: Your photgraph is perfect and your quilt is lovely. You must have a talent and gift for creativity...it shows in both mediums. Thanks for sharing.

    Now that I think back, some of the best pic's I've taken have been on my back deck while it was nice and sunny. Thanks for all the tips, I know I can use them.
