i get a lot of emails asking how i manage to take such exquisite photos of gloves. so in the best spirit of photo sites such as strobist, here's a picture showing how i do it.
from the shadow you can see that i simply hold my camera and point it at the thing i'm trying to photo.
on new year's day we went for a family walk and spotted a glove. nothing unusual there.

but then my mother in law picked it up and put it on. she'd forgotten one of her own gloves you see.

and so we continued on our walk (here's thomas, sil binky and kezia)

it was a there-and-back walk and when we got back to the point where found the glove, my mother in law looked for a place to put the glove so the owner would find it.

my father in law suggested the sign post and was the only one who could reach it.

here he is looking very unsuspicious

so if this is your glove, you know where to find it. and thanks for the loan.
