I think it cost a couple of dollars. I am not really utilising it properly but I find it's a good way to store outfit picks. Lyn (on SYC) uses it extensively I think. You can also record your outfits on the calendar (you can then check what you wore on any given day) I tried a pile of books too but it was never successful. And yes, our Iphones are precious they need to be well cared for. Im in agreement, this is indeed a very unique and wonderful community of women and it's lovely to meet you. I am imaging a world wide Meet Up one day. xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425984 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 01:07:15 +0000 ironkurtin 425984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If we're not involved in ourselves, who will be? Thanks for bringing these up, I was also wondering how to take a decent iphone shot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425904 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:15:13 +0000 Anonymous 425904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job with the kitty photo!<br /> Yes, it does feel a little self-involved, but look at it as art. The photography, the studying, the styling, it's all art! For me, it uses a part of my brain that needs an outlet, so that's MY excuse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425901 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:11:39 +0000 Suz 425901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. Thank you so much for this post! I am still learning about photos, too, so I will go back and read the link soon. I don't have an iphone, alas, although gee...I see one on my wishlist.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425896 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:06:43 +0000 Vicki 425896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Two new iPhone apps. Love it! I will look into Style Book and definitely get the Retouch app. Is Style Book an app, too? Thanks, Deborah, for sharing these along with the use of a music stand, which I have, and didn't even think of using. (Duh!) I'm learning how to play guitar (left-handed) and will use that.</p> <p>That seems much better than balancing my phone on a pile of books, which is what I did. We don't want to hurt our iPhones. This is the most amazing group of women and I really hope to meet some of you down the road; that would be fun. Everyone is supportive and there are so many wonderful resources being shared. YLF is really a great online community of women and I agree about it being an extension of what brings us enjoyment and fun. So true.</p> <p>Gorillacam and I are going to get very familiar with each other. I wish I had a personal assistant who could take photos when needed, but I don’t. Usually, it’s me and the cats and their fluffy paws aren’t iPhone compatible! Thanks so much for the hug, Angie. It was warmly received and I have one coming back to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425823 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:48:19 +0000 Deborah 425823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki I downloaded Gorillacam also and it's has made taking photos so much easier. I am a real novice when it comes to photography so the advice shared in the post was invaluable. I was originally getting Master 8 or my hubby to take photos but I felt a bit self conscious about it. Master 8 would have one eye on the shot and the other somewhere else so his pics were often blurry and unfocussed. Hubby's a perfectionist and his pics were great but mornings are busy and I didn't want to bother him. So now I use a music stand as a tripod and do most of my own pics. Funny thing is hubby seems disappointed that I don't need him to take the photos now :)</p> <p>On another note, taking photos has really helped revolutionize my wardrobe. Seeing things as they "really" look is invaluable. I am actually keeping a collection (on Style Book) on my phone and iPad of my YLF approved outfits. I like to "mix and match" a lot and sometimes I forget a combination. </p> <p>I am becoming less self conscious about the process and realize it is just an extension of the care I like to take in most other aspects of my life.... Oh, and it is fun too!</p> <p>I also have a free App called "Retouch" which I use to enlarge and crop my pics for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425776 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:44:54 +0000 Angie 425776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*hugging you* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425757 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:07:34 +0000 Mirp 425757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this. I'm also experimenting with taking pictures. The in the mirror ones are too small and the other photos don't seem to have enough details on my shoes &amp; bags &amp; other accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heartfelt-question-on-posting-photos-and-then-i-found-your-heartfelt-a#post-425748 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:56:05 +0000 Vicki 425748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heartfelt question on posting photos and then I found your heartfelt answers!</p> <p>I’ve been struggling with posting photos on two fronts: One had to do with feeling a bit self-involved and the second was on technical issues like getting a good shot! So, I searched the forums on taking photos and then, Wow!, I found your excellent advice and information.</p> <p>On the technical front, thanks rhubarbgirl (Laura) for the Gorillacam app for iPhone, with the self-timer. I just added it and this was one of my issues. I love taking photos of all kinds of things on my iPhone, yet when it comes to WIW and other YLF postings, I didn't want to be too self-absorbed and, while my husband doesn’t mind taking the occasional photo, he’s not always around or I feel a bit too “me-me-me” and I’d rather just take the photo myself. But, I don’t always have good results. That’s why this forum post Deborah started a month ago really helped. I also really appreciate Judy and Aida’s input on lighting, etc.</p> <p>So, on an introspective and contemplative level, since I have fun with fashion, and now have the timer app on my iPhone, I think I’ve resolved my first concern. Hopefully, the more photos I post, the better the quality.
