I made a cute new duffle bag for Anne out of my red scraps. I have been interested in a camera experiment for awhile and I finally decided to try it out. Here is the question: Can my iphone really take a photo of my sewn item that is as good as my DSLR camera? I used the best light possible-on my front porch with indirect bright light. I photographed on different days since the push for me to finally do this was that my battery died in my big camera. SO… this is not really a perfect comparison but pretty good!
4S iphone version…
For both photos, I edited them in Photo Shop Elements. I brightened the levels and shadows and did automatic sharpening.
Cannon Rebel DSLR with a 50mm lens…
Yes, the DSLR photo looks better but the iphone version is pretty good. Good enough to get plenty of attention on facebook and instagram! Here is the question- Do you need an expensive DSLR camera to successfully photograph your sewn creations? What do you think? I am thinking, for someone just beginning a handmade sewing business, you can get by with an iphone for awhile if you set up your photos with good lighting!
