On taking shawl pictures

[alias]

I've knit a few shawls from the 'Victorian Lace Today' book (which I love) - but I have a problem.








I can't seem to take photos of them which show off both the patterns and the colours in the yarn as well as they deserve. Any suggestions for taking better pictures?

Very pretty. I adore the green one.

When I read the first sentence, however, my brain parsed "Victorian" as "Vulcan". I guess I am somewhat excited about the new ST movie.

:) I'm actually very pleased at how the green one turned out, since I knitted it in worsted-weight silk and didn't expect it to make lace as nice as it did.

Ahahah, I'd love to see some examples of Vulcan lace knitting, for sure.
