Ooh I've got a bid on one of my items on fleabay
99p so far, with 6 days to go. That'll knock a pound of my total whoop whoop. Will have to have another rummage tonight.
I've found the best way to take photos for fleabay is to put a crisply ironed white sheet over the sofa to form a back drop, then take photos in daylight but make sure the light is even so as not to cause shadows. Then I auto correct the photo using photoshop, and then click on levels, click on the white dipper and click on the white background, this normally takes away any dodgy colouring and evens out the exposure. I'm an amateur but I thought it might help someone else out thereDiary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:
