I think this is a method for cloudy days
Everywhere I went in the house this weekend created shadows on my photos. I have to have glass on the top to hold the photos in place (Some curve one way, some the other)
Any tips?

make two L shapes from a heavy weight (dark coloured) card, these can be used to frame the shot, hold the edges down and give you an edge to crop to as well, the L shape allows you to change the size of the space inside. mine are made from picture mounting board.
