Photographs

I’ve had several folks ask that I give up my secrets on how I do the photography for this blog.  So here goes.

First, my camera.  It is a Cannon EOS Rebel XSi. This camera is what I’ve been using since the beginning of my blog and, as you can see, its a bit dusty.

I have a Canon 50 mm .45 m/1.5 ft lens for close up shots. In addition, a tripod with a remote that I keep in the garage for shots like this.

I also have pretty good lighting in my garage.  Lucky me, my garage was built in 2009 .. so new lighting. Yippee! 🙂

So .. super secret photography tips.  Well, I don’t really have any.  I try to take photos at key parts of the project and use shots that show as much detail as possible.  

Once I sit down at the computer, I pull up Adobe Lightroom and do a little croping and editing to emphasize the important details.  WordPress makes the rest easy.  I’m happy to share more if I wasn’t specific enough.  

Thanks for reading!

PS.  Bob over at Logan Cabinet Shoppe had an interesting post on how he does his photos.
