how do you photograph glitter?

I dunno. You tell me. These pages are for Lynna's fairy
and dragonfly themed altered book, for the altered book
round robin at Altered Pages.



There is actually a lot of shine to these pages, some
nice glittery stuff on the script pages and library
pocket card, and (of course!) on the dragonfly wings.



The pages are sprayed with an iridescent finish, but
that's not really showing, either.

That's the advantage of holding the real thing in your
hands--you get all the textures, shine, even the heft
of something adds to the whole enjoyment, at least for
me.

Can you tell I'm one of those people who have to keep
their hands in their pockets when they go to the museum?
I swear, those guards KNOW it, too. They have some kind
of weird "She's a toucher" sense, and they follow me
around. Which actually works to my advantage, because
if you ask them questions, most of them have lots of
good information.

Are YOU a toucher?

Right. That sounds more than a little creepy. Maybe
you should just say no, and move on . . . unless you
can tell me how to get a good pic of the glitter!
