Hey! I've been checking out your gallery and your stuff is great!
I recently started trying to post some pics of my own minis up here but they don't turn out so well.
I was wondering how you got your photos so clear?
Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks Crypt.
The most important things to be aware of when considering basic miniatures photography is light and focus.
I take a large sheet of white printer paper and set it against a surface so the bottom is curved and weighted by the model (but not bent!). Try to use multiple light sources from either side of the subject to eliminate shadows. White lights are best but the yellow "standard" light works to.
Often the biggest problem is camera focus and stability. If you don't have a tripod or similar setup, you can brace he camera on your wrist. Remember on the cheaper digital cameras the macro setting is not necessarily the best, play around with different settings.
After I upload the image I always correct the lighting by slightly brightening the image, and sharpening.
Hope this helps!

okay, WOW... suddenly I'm picking a fight with this idiot who doesn't know what she's talking about... it was a friendly debate with my friend, when suddenly this FREAK comes in, and thinks she's soooo smart. Lol, I pretty much pwned her in an argument. Here's a link to the journal entry where it starts -
