unexampled pic guidelines"Our product is in the greenhouse all year around , and we harvest from August to November . When I set out auctioning again on 9 August , I immediately received an email from auctioneer Simon Vlieger , explaining there were new guideline . Once I had these guidelines , I set to work with them straight . "
plainly with your smartphone"I took the new photos myself using my smartphone ; it was in reality really light . You ca n’t , of course , use a Nokia 3210 , " he express mirth . " This is the iPhone 8 , which study passing sharp photos .
My babe - in - law helped me with the inset of the flower . She has a individual - lens reflex camera and it came out well with a blanched scope , and the good light . How much time did I spend on it ? I ’d say around three hours , including the time my sis - in - law help me . you may set up a professional photo studio , but you do n’t really need to . "
Useful tips"If I do n’t know about something , I postulate Ben van den Ende . I ’m in contact with him by phone and through WhatsApp . The sure-enough photo was on the rightfulness , above , but Royal FloraHolland no longer wants that . Flowers in a loge must now be at an angle in the pic . For instance , Ben gave me the steer of lay the flowers differently in the corner . The way I did it , they looked like rhubarb shuck . It ’s amusing how I did n’t think of that myself . So I commute that and now it see peachy .
Flowers in box or bucket"I believe the guideline are really clear . They also include a portion about what you should do if you ’re auctioning a corner or bucketful . I myself have two selections in box , with thirty or forty branches in these . That ’s to do with the length of the offshoot : ones of seventy or sixty . And sometimes I also have flowers in packaging , in the 996 , and I ’ve also take a picture of these . I entered the picture in the picture bank myself . And since then , they come out on the screen , on the clock . "
Success ensured"I understand from Ben that you incur accompaniment from Royal FloraHolland in several way . For instance for that inset at the bottom right of the product photo . I think that many market nurseryman need help with this . We understand blossom , then each to his own . But with a little direction from Royal FloraHolland , anyone can do it . "
