Thanks Spider, I do value your opinion:-) After reading some suggestions from Tom I might just change the shoulder strap some....(?)

My perception of things is of course my individual preference. I do have odd taste in alot of things but try to apply what I think is a general view upon things and from stuff I learned about eye and mind perception. I studied this a bit as an amateur photographer, bla bla..however, when you think it's done it is done but I just wanted to raise the question about "when do we make the call in making an item" about wether should I do stuff to fit a general public perception or do I push my own style.

Once again I state about the purple string, it's just scrutinizing but by doing that, in the end one has narrowed down all of the elements in a composition and that is good for a competition for instance, hint hint.

The string just distracted my eye a little bit but not enough to not enjoy your fabolous bag in general. It is lovely just like all your other stuff.

Oh, one other thing. I haven't seen the bag IRL and there's a good possibility it does look a lot better for real, leatherstuff has a strong tendency with that. Photomodels is the other way around, those type of photos is ALOT of fake!

I've got a couple of lousy product pic's coming up in a while. I hate photographing stuff like that.

Hi Tom:-)

I "steel" some o your ideas and use them into something I like. You'll see soon when I post the next one how I interpret your comments:-)

I have also come to see how hard it is to take decent photos of leather and make them look as i real life...The only thing I'm doing to the photos is resizing and/or making them a bit brighter. They have a tendency to get a wee bit dark even with the flash on. I do think this has very much to do with how the light comes in to the room. I must say, we bought a new camera this winter and I'm super happy with it, Panasonic SDLR, (XF 50 or something like that) but still got a lot to learn about the functions on it. With time I might learn how to use it proparly so I don't have to make any changes to the original:-)

Cool, I look forward to that and steal away all you want to, I see that as enhancement (and then steal it right back, lol).

I shoot in raw so the originals are never touched but make copies of your original file and make changes there (and keep backups). Raw is a lot of work. To get the copy I have to do like a digital development from the file but gives me more control of end result. For the tube pics it's not really necessery, the environment itself is so screwed up but for nature for example it gives alot and studiopics to (I think).

Good luck with your new camera and beep if you need advice, maybe I can help.

Now I gotta go and still my appetite for seeing what stuff youll come up with.
