@CHlCKEN if you wanna be REAL impressed with your iPhone, go to settings>camera>Record video

choose: “1080p at 60fps”

Oo I’m doing it right now! Thanks!

Ill let you know what I think!

Wow that’s amazing! I’m also a video editor (I love any form of art I can get my hands on!) so this is super cool! I discovered I can also record at 4K 60 FPS! I had no idea I could change video settings, I’m excited to use them!

I’m learning so much! Thanks! I can’t wait to shoot more flat-lays. It’s a rainy/snowy day, so the light coming in through the window was no good for taking photos. I discovered that my piano bench has really nice looking wood, so I’ll use it for a surface. I found a “bath bomb” making kit in the pantry, which I can use for eggs (like in the stock image examples) and I’ve got some beautiful dishes from my great grandfather’s restaurant, plus some of my great grandmother’s china (like I used in my first flat-lay I posted)

I can’t wait for another excuse to make a mess! My set up from the first one is still out, and there’s marigold petals all over the table

Now all I need is a contest to enter these in!

See, now I would be all about that snowy backdrop! We almost never get snow here!
I have a round piece of spalted wood that I want to make into a lazy susan for crafts and I eyed it for my next flat lay as well, lol!

I’d be all about that snowy backdrop to! To bad it’s just a light snow, and it isn’t sticking! Tomorrow, I’ll be collecting leaves and things for one. I started getting blue eggs from my EE so I’m going to incorporate those into something. I have pine-straw in the barn (who knows why or where it came from) and since it has a reddish color, I’ll use it for another warm-colored picture.

Christmas is coming up, and I bet candy canes would make for a good prop!

I was at a restaurant randomly a few years ago and the waiter told me about that video trick. It’s incredible.

I took another of my Breakfast! I had some bad lighting so it’s dark (my only white surface is in my darkest room) but I still like it. I don’t care if it’s December, or if it’s flurried already! There’s still time for me to get some fall themed pictures!
