Photgraphing minis with only one lamp

January 4, 2008

Equipment: digital camera with macro mode
(I use now already old and obsolete and low cost but three years ago it was a hit 1.3 Megapixel Olympus Camedia C900, also sold as D400 in some parts of the world), one lamp (see below), tripod, 1 piece of paper and a photo editing software. And of course the miniature I want to photograph.

I have received some compliments and comments on my photos so I figured that others might benefit from a setup like mine. I have a standard inexpensive digital camera and nothing special in terms of equipment. I should start by saying that I am a voracious scratchbuilder (on a budget too), so my setup is also very affordable and easily assembled at any hardware store. I am not a pro, so my terminology may not be pristine. Real photographers, my apologies.
