Yarnography Friday

I bought myself a little present this week: a Canon speedlight 430EX. A flash for my DSLR camera. I know there's a lot of dissing out there of flash photography, but when you get the flash up off the camera, suddenly all sorts of photography possibilities arise. Bouncing light off a wall or ceiling allows you to simulate a real light source, not a glaring burst of light coming directly from the camera.

Turns out, I'm not the only person out there who loves to take pictures of yarn. There's a Yarnographers group on Ravelry, complete with lessons to help people learn how to take better pictures of their yarn.

I'm so excited to see what I can do with my new camera equipment. I plan on posting some yarnography every Friday.
