Last week I posted the Counterpoint scarf that I made for Rob. We took a quick but adequate photo on his birthday when he received it and I planned to get a better shot during daylight hours.

Well that turned out to take a long time. Thank the deity of your choice for digital photography. I could not have afforded to take as many shots as it took to get even a decent one.

I'm not a great photographer. I think most of the pix that I post are pretty decent, but it takes from a handful to a couple dozen for me to get a blogworthy shot.  Illusion knitting is especially difficult to photograph. I must have taken at least 50 photos of Rob's new scarf to get one that I considered good enough. And frankly, it's not that great.

First, a selection of outtakes.

I'm not 100% pleased with my final pix, but I ran out of patience. They'll do.

 

Thanks to everyone who left birthday greetings to Rob. He appreciated it lots.
