      But the truth is who is going to scrutinize your bag like this. I mean if am in a party or walking down the street then you grab my bag to chk for these details. I judge the real and the fake by looking at who is carrying the *esluxs* . If they dress the part then it must be real. What can I say.

      Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *esluxs* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.

    Many photographers prefer bright but overcast days for the diffused light when taking photos outdoors. It's like the diffusers pro photographers put on their studio lighting. Also calibrating your camera white balance would clean up the yellow and gray cast your photos have

    @NowandThenTreasures23 8 місяців тому

    Level up You do such a great job on researching these videos. I love my big lightbox so much that I bought a mini, travel size one for the road. If I buy smaller items (up to a small hand bag size), I simply set it up in a hotel room, in the trunk, at a restaurant, etc and within minutes I have a listing with great photos.

  • @asterix7842
    @asterix7842 8 місяців тому +1

    Level up! Great content as usual, Rachel. I've been photographing for a few decades now, first with Minolta 35mm film cameras, then with Nikon DSLRs and I'd like to make one small suggestion. Bright sunny days are actually awful days to take pictures outside. You end up with harsh shadows on your subject. The best weather is light cloud cover, to diffuse the light, or in indirect or reflected sunlight. A sunroom or a porch would be great.

    Thank you so much for sharing about the light that attaches to the phone. I wanted a quick setup option upstairs for when I want to take photos of small things that could get mixed up like flatware. I do my drafts upstairs so I could do the draft on the particular style of flatware take the picture and bag it up before taking it to the basement so I don't have to worry about remembering which flatware is which. The only reason I haven't done that yet is because I didn't have any space for lights. I already use foam core for my photos so I can just have another set up like that upstairs with the phone light.

    • @RachelStrickland
      @RachelStrickland  8 місяців тому

    Might have already been said but if you can't imagine a 1:1 in a 3:4 on android, you can put grid lines on the camera in advance settings. Center your object best you can in and around the middle square of the grid, and it will convert to the 1:1 on the platform perfectly and saves time editing.❤

    All good ideas.I sold $245,000 on Ebay alone in 2023 using simple, almost free equipment. I use 2 pieces of foam board as a backdrop. I use a 12" ring light but I prop it on its side to bring it level with smaller items. As a second method I can hold the tripod portion of the ring light and move the ring light partially overhead to change the glare spots...and eliminate them if I'm having a good day. (Imagine a boom except my arm and hand are the boom.). I found your research on the red dress interesting. All pictures were full body or mannequins. I wonder if that matters?

    Level up Yes I love the foam board / trifold thing, but I'm pretty rough on mine they get all dinged up quickly in my place. I take photos in my laundry room, setting it all up on my washing machine. Problem is when I went to do laundry well, had to take it down, put it back up....but now when it got down to 17 degrees this winter some pipe burst under my washer so can't use it now till I get it checked. And, um sales not great so no extra $ for that. Ugh...I've always hated going to laundry mats. I think I have to go again tomorrow been 2 weeks. I also slung a white sheet over my door and then hung a door hanger on it and hang my clothes off that...its not the best, but I have really liked the white out background thing...works MOST of the time, sometimes ehhh no...I kind of do a little prayer as its working...please do it right (hehe).
