I have the best guy ever.

I have the best guy ever.  For my birthday he got me a super nice printer and for Christmas he got me a little pop-up photo-takey kit.  I've had my printer for a while and I got the photo kit today.  With all of the Etsy and everything I've been doing I really needed both of those things.  Like, BAD.  LOL

I'm ok with most of my photos, but I was having to take them outside - in certain weather, at certain times of day, in certain places, and if I missed out... well, I had to use photos that weren't great, or that looked wayyy different than the others, and blegh.  With my bones hurting and winter coming I was NOT looking forward to having to deal with outdoors if I didn't want to.

These are my first photos using the kit.  I'm still trying to figure it out, but I think this is gonna be awesome.  I took these while sitting in a chair in my bedroom - not huddled outside in the dirt fighting the bugs and trying to get a decent shot.

The only thing I'm not a fan of is how clinical and white they look.  I know that most product photography is done on clean backgrounds, but this is boring as shit to me and SO NOT MY STYLE.  I think I need to use some props or something.  I will be digging around in my room to see if I can come up with anything super cool.  😃

If anyone has tips for me feel free to leave them here.  I see my bedroom lights reflecting in the rings, so I guess next time I will need to turn them off.  I know that the focus is off a little, but I usually photograph one thing at a time, so ignore that.  Other than that, I don't know why the backgrounds aren't PERFECTLY white (or if they even are supposed to be without shooping), so if I'm doing something wrong, tell me.

P. S.  Dinosaur rings.  I can do necklaces and earrings, too.  😃
