Taking photos of your work

[psychowitch]

Ive been nosing at some of the pics peeps post and sadly my pictures suck...(its not my tiling its my camera honest!)..maybe I should leave the lens covered in gear tho...

anyone got tips on taking pics of their work? cameras?

I look at some and they have great definition look professional almost...

If I am taking photos on site I usually just use my phone but take loads and loads of shots. Last time was a couple of weeks ago I took 64 shots - only used 3. I think work on the law of averages - the more you take the more are bound to come out ok.....

I keep an old digi camera in my van.............but if you take any shots to use for a website etc etc............you do need to get the ok from the customer..........data protection and all that

always make sure there's nothing personal in the background...family pictures...notes and messages on fridges etc....

I have the Nikon D40 (Budget SLR)



Best price £220 quid

And it takes great pics just a bit bulky to carry.

One of the best shots I took was (dont laugh)



This bath tap!

It looked almost professional (to my rubbish eyes!)

And I took it on a job when we drill a hole in a bath for this tap.

Thing about the SLR's is they are very well priced and you get a lot of cam for your money

Same here, often done jobs where I've thought to myself "I'd love to have a picture of that". Then again, the camera would end up dropped in a bucket of adhesive.

I use my phone but if I remember I try to take our digi camera for a better picy. When down loading pics check pictures are downloaded properly first, just downloaded some of a job I have just finished and ask for the card to be cleard after download, only 1 pic downloaded all the rest lost. Got to ask customer to take some on her phone and send them to me as Im not traveling 100 mile round trip just to take more photos.
