This was such a clever idea and your stitching is beautiful. I have the same issues with color. Things always look so much prettier in person. The camera really has a mind of its own sometimes.

I’ve made my way here from Stitchin’ Fingers. You do some lovely work. I’ll be back often.

You are a very gifteed needle worker. This piece is very lovely and well done. No doubt it will be appreciated as a season gift…I just hope your daughter does not visit your blog…LOL
To anyone who wants to see another masterpiece she worked, go and visit my blog here: http://www.anneprunet.fr you will see a wonderful Biscornu, you can click on the pic to enlarge and see all the tiny stitches. Many thanks again!
About you pictures, as said above, you will always have the best result with daylight and outside. I prefer to take photos on a white background. But sometimes I have to work with the software sold with the camera to correct and have the colors as close as possible to the original.

Hi: I try to take my pictures in daylight. Not necessarily direct sun but at a window or outdoors. That helps a lot with color. I also try to use a neutral background (I bought some greyish and beigy fabric yardage to use–sometimes grey works and sometimes beige) so the camera’s sensors don’t generally have a ton of contrast to deal with between my object and the background.

And then I color correct in Photoshop when necessary. My camera has a setting for correcting for incandescent light, but I’ve never figured it out.

If you are already shooting in daylight, I’m not sure I have any good suggestions. Different cameras have different “casts,” which is a way to say that all of the photos tend to come out more blue or red than what our eyes see.

Hope this helps. Marjorie
