Bit of an effort carting our first two spinner loads of Bill Snail cards into the courtyard to photograph for our catalogue.
It was freezing and slippery and the light seemed to keep moving. You would not believe the contortions it involved to get the right camera angles - quite a hazardous struggle getting all the tripod legs and mine sorted out whilst teetering on the edge of the table. I felt like a spider doing yoga. Of course all the giggling and unhelpful advice off stage, didn't help at all.
Oh, the dilemmas of getting the right shots when you don't have a proper studio or lighting - and Scotland's grey days to contend with!
We wasted a frustrating amount of time trying different angles and areas to get close-up shots of the sixteen Bill Snail card designs.
Finally we found that it worked best after we constructed a box and added a decent back-drop to unify all the cards.
