You look cozy warm another puffer member who likes the puffer.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435852 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 15:20:37 +0000 AM 1435852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - Thanks for the compliment on my smile. Makes me smile more. And yes, these photo tips are great.</p> <p>Firecracker - I know what you mean -- "if it's not manageable I won't do it". Word to live by. I'm hoping to get some simple technique for pictures and am pleased to be getting so many good tips. Thanks. And glad you like the coat. I feel like I need some wonderful winter boots for an even better look&nbsp;but haven't started that search. Maybe next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435785 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 06:04:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1435785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outift--very cozy and stylish! The coat is such a good fit and length on you. <br />I am rather challenged with the camera, too. I don't have a tripod; I prop my camera on a railing and set the timer. I turn on all the lights in the room, which are not really enough for a clear photo, but I'm a little lazy about the whole thing. Not ready to go out and find a lamp or anything drastic like that. I have to keep it manageable or I won't do it. Oh, and I use the Preview application on my computer to crop the photos and usually to further lighten them before I post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435744 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 02:53:18 +0000 Jaime 1435744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be borrowing the photo tips you get - regardless your gorgeous smile comes shining through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435732 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 02:09:05 +0000 E 1435732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum! I was going to give the same tip as Deborah; make sure you're not standing in front of the light source. If you have an iphone, after you tap to tell it where to focus, you should see a little sun with lines coming from it: if you drag it up, it'll lighten the exposure. Of course, it can only do so much before degrading the quality, but that might help a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435721 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 01:03:55 +0000 Deborah 1435721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't get say welcome yesterday, but I loved your post and you had me giggling out loud.</p> <p>This is a great casual outfit.&nbsp; Simple, nice lines and great scarf.</p> <p>With your photos try to have the light behind the camera. I often have my camera placed in front of a window to let the light in.</p> <p>Really nice to have you here xx</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435717 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 00:50:36 +0000 AM 1435717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann - I'm diggin' the coat too. Has a sorta wax finish. Sweater blue.<br />And I've done some experimenting on the pictures.</p> <p>So, round 2. I'll get the hang of this. And thanks for the tips! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435715 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 00:44:43 +0000 Thistle 1435715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look warm and cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435712 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 00:30:02 +0000 Beth Ann 1435712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the puffer!&nbsp; It has a great look and fit.&nbsp; I wish I could see the sweater better, but I so hear you about the learning curve on photo taking.&nbsp; </p> <p>I use an iphone with an, er, tripod that hasn't broken (yet).&nbsp; A few weeks back, Mary posted a hack that uses binder clips as a makeshift tripod.&nbsp; I'd just make sure you affix it carefully, so the pressure doesn't harm your screen. </p> <p>I use a specialty camera app (camera+) that has a timer.&nbsp; It will let me change the exposure a bit, too.&nbsp; When I get photos like yours, I can play with the exposure before I send.&nbsp; I also sometimes import them into iPhoto on my computer, although that takes a bit of time.&nbsp; Oh -- and I use the flash -- which sometimes highlights my chest quite inappropriately, but "oh well." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435694 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 23:03:17 +0000 AM 1435694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will definitely need to experiment. Need to overcome this hurdle. Seeing the outfit is pretty essential. Haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435692 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:57:05 +0000 AM 1435692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shipskitty -- Good to know. Thanks! It actually makes me feel a lot better. I was thinking "How hard could this be?" - and it seems to have its challenges. Who knew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435691 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:55:13 +0000 shipskitty 1435691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use my phone camera but they are very reliant on enough light which is a pain on a gloomy day. I sometimes turn the lights on as well as using daylight via the windows and lamps as well. Light sources are best from in front/side and overhead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435689 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:48:13 +0000 AM 1435689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dimity: More light. Very good suggestion.&nbsp;<br />Mona: Have resorted to iPhone but thinking should use DH's point and shoot digital. First tried with a newer camera of his that frankly has too much going on for me to handle.</p> <p>Going to do a few more tests now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435687 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:43:21 +0000 Mona 1435687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done! Do you have a flash on your camera? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435682 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:37:39 +0000 Dimity 1435682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More light! I know it's winter, so it's hard.<br />I like your sweater. Looks so cosy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-of-laughing#post-1435667 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:00:20 +0000 AM 1435667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to make this a 7 day challenge of styling and picture taking. Hoping it reduces the anxiety, keeps me laughing, and jump starts some better habits.</p> <p>And any suggestions on picture taking? I've recovered from the death of the tripod.</p>
