Nest Of Tables

[jennyjoan]

I have been duly emailed by auctioneers asking me to send photos of the said item to them.

I will get my neighbour to take photos as I don't have phone but one of the auctioneers wants them to be uploaded and for them to accept the photos - they mentioned

Format types accepted JPG + PNG

Do I have to tell my neighbour to take the photos a certain way? Thanks.

No, JPEG is the standard format for smartphones.

Make sure that the photos are taken with a background that makes the tables stand out; have them well-lit, but do not "wash-out" detail and try to avoid shadows; take pictures of the entire table and also clear close-ups of the details; take photos from different angles. These are some things to keep in mind.

Barry I'm not sure that that's always right.
A friend of mine has sent me some holiday photos recently and they were in HEVC or HEIC format and I've had to download something that allows me to open them.
My friend didn't even know.

I forgot to mention that using a flash usually results in loss of detail of the object being photographed.

[jennyjoan]

So just tell neighbour to photo as normal

JJ, regardless of the format that is being used, I hope that you take heed of my suggestions to get some great photos which will convince the auctioneer to accept your tables.

HEIC is the default format for modern iPhones so if your neighbour is using anything newer than an iPhone 7 (I think) she will need to go to ‘settings’, ‘camera’, ‘formats’ and select ‘most compatible’

well - neighbour's little girl took the photos and they really look good ie the photos - put them into a well lit kitchen - she took 7 photos getting all 4 nests together and individual and angles.

The only thing they are very old and whilst no chips or anything but paint a little worn.

I have emailed them to three local auctioneers. Well yippee to my first one million pounds or should that be pence. LOL
