Today was my attempt at product photography without a light box. I wanted to get the “floating” effect, so I tried to bounce as much light around as possible. It turned out okay, but still too many shadows. I could have fixed them in post-processing, but that wasn’t what I was trying for, so I didn’t.
Anyway, these are a couple of new diaper covers that I got for E4 from Wiggle Worm Bottoms. They are an example of one of the many reasons I chose to use cloth diapers instead of disposible; namely, they take a job that has to be done several times a day and make it fun. I got to choose exactly how I wanted them to look. I chose a Pikachu fabric since both E1 and E2 are really into Pokemon right now, and a pink camo fabric. I’m not sure why I liked that particular fabric so much, maybe because it’s leaning towards the absurd- there’s no way pink camoflauge would ever be functional.
If you haven’t looked into cloth diapers for a while, you may be somewhat surprised at the choices available today. The flat and prefold diapers used in the past are still available, but many parents now use fitted, all-in-one, or pocket diapers that look and go on much like a disposible. I also prefer the diapers and covers, like these, that are made by a mom or dad as a work-at-home business. To learn more, a good place to start is Diaperpin.
