I'm posting a blog for a different garment I did in the same taffeta today, so you'll see how the photography advice worked out ;) Lydia Gastrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04024857842332775902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495176454984660953.post-20468023802376258912017-05-31T17:02:01.368-07:002017-05-31T17:02:01.368-07:00Ooooh...a green wool would be beautiful for a ridi...Ooooh...a green wool would be beautiful for a riding habit.

The taffeta is "reflecting" the light, which is blue (rather than, say, yellow or greenish from artificial lights) and so dark colors like black or very dark brown come out looking navy. You can fiddle with your camera's white balance options to find one that works better, or fiddle with the white balance in post (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) to reduce the blue tones and re-balance the colors. <br /><br />All that being said, the riding habit looks epic in both brown and blue ;-)Lauren Stowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008240537371936468noreply@blogger.com
