I have to say in the few short weeks I've been here and on some other forums I have learned so much. And it must be working because I can't believe some of the shows I got into. Both ODC Winterfairs. Mellwood, Hyde Park..
After being waitlisted for Winterfair Cincinnati last year I decided to really work on my photos. I read a lot of tutorials and started to use the information from them and I have to say I think my photos jumped in quality. I do have to laugh because my booth shot for the ODC shows I took with my cell phone at a show I was doing in Louisville KY. I didn't even photoshop the wrinkles out of the one table cover and I didn't have 3 walls up. But I think the overall look of the tent - I try to look like a funky boutique must read to the jurors.
I think I've spent a few hours today reading posts about various shows and marking my calendar to apply for show that I never thought I'd get into. I have to say this site is such a valuable resource for me.
This is the other booth shot I used.. I know.. the tent isn't even white! the HORROR! But once again they can see a consistency in how I set up my booth from show to show

believe it or not Connie yes.. and I got into both ODC Winterfairs with it
Lynnea, just keep on trying. There is no reason to ever stop improving. Is this the booth shot you've been sending? The best way to improve it quickly is to shoot it with walls on the back and side so you can't see anything else. Keep the focus IN your booth. Being able to see outside of it is not helpful.
Congrats on your success. I hope it continues.
Good for you in striving to have a better booth, then to make better photos. I am reworking my booth for the upcoming fall season and needed this encouragement! <smile>
The more we learn and improve makes us realize how much we will always be learning and improving...
