Photo of a maternity cardigan on my profile.

I think it's blue but teal might be more descriptive and the neck - not quite cowl I think but how to describe?

Thanks!

Its very hard to tell on that photo... maybe put it on a white background, so people have a better idea of the true colour?

pinkspottywellies · 09/05/2009 23:44

Ah, good idea. Thanks. Will take a new photo tomorrow and see how it looks.

I would say that it has a "broad assymetical collar"

Bump with new photo up!

Thanks DNA. I'll put that.

oh dear! What about the colour though?

Not sure - colour on my laptop is a bit hit and miss.

I just don't thinkn you can see the collar shape on the new photo - which I could last night (although I wouldn't rule out my laptop as I think I was on ddesktop last night)

pinkspottywellies · 10/05/2009 09:56

No you're right I've just looked at the other one and actually the colour looks about the same but the shape looks better.

Neither photo looks like the cardi though!

Thanks for your help.

When I am photographing for ebay I tend to take a few photo's in different lights with and without the flash etc. until I get one which is realistic.

I think with the dark items you need to be in a very well lit room with natural light and no flash.

I think it would look better if photographed on a flat surface, not hanging up. The pockets are kinda hanging loose (makes them look stretched possibly?).
Perhaps place it on a white or plain duvet.

Can you put up more than 1 photo on ebay? I would also take one with the buttons done up. Its kinda hard to see the neck line properly in the photo.

Try taking the photo in different rooms, beside different windows etc to experiment with lighting.

It was a better shape yesterday - I think it was laying down then.

You also have to remember though that the resolution on Mn is far lower than that on Ebay.
