This photo looks rather standard, I’m sure. It is a picture of me standing in front of a ray of light with some pretty flowers surrounding me. But in actuality, it took me nearly forever to get that photo to the final product.
You see, I originally did a photoshoot in this very place in this very outfit about a week ago. I was fortunate enough to receive the lovely dress from Coquet. as part of The Seraphim Social early, so being a good little blogger, I decided to do the photos right away so I would be ready to go when the event opened. I scouted out the location, Ivy Glad, set myself up and took my photos. Simple enough, right? Well, it was simple, until I decided to change my Slink hands from Casual to Elegant. Only instead of switching my left hand, I added the Elegant version…and forgot to remove the Casual one. It wasn’t until I was processing the photo that I noticed something wasn’t quite right. And try as I might, my Photoshop skills just weren’t up to the task of removing the extra four fingers and a thumb.
So, back I went. Only to be plagued by the dreaded discarded texture bug. Three times. I was about to give up and just shoot against a plain background in the safety of my studio, but nope, I decided to give it one more go. And I managed to get a few shots. I was extra careful to check my appendages to make sure I had the appropriate number only. And then…my viewer crashed. So I didn’t take as many pictures as I normally do. But I think it came out ok đ
The point of this marathon test of my patience was to show off this beautiful dress. It is called Pride and the shade is Peony. It is the palest of pale pinks – exactly the colour of a peony as it transforms from white to pink. There are two other equally delicate shades available, as well. Since The Seraphim Social is now open, you can buzz over and check them out yourself.
There are some wonderful items in this round. I’m going to try to do at least one more post highlighting some of the treasures – hopefully, with only two hands and fewer technical hiccups!
