good light is a must...I'd recommend taking flashlights and taping tissue over the lens, this diffuses the light and prevents the harsh light you sometimes see. If possible take your pictures on a plain background if possible, helps bring out the models details...

The above are good tips. Also, here is a link to a great guide by our very own scary eyeball, minus_t
http://www.librarium-online.com/foru...otography.html That guide should set you in good stead. A few tips from me (all likely in the above guide) are not to put the camera too close to the model, always photograph onto a white background, have a good stable structure to rest the camera on (preferably a tripod) and have at least one good light source behind the camera. Read the guides, have a practice ans see what you can come up with. Good luck matey (also, have a stab with the search function on LO - many an old post about this has come up, each with useful tidbits of info). Rich. |

You can also get camera wabble when using macro mode - a pain to get round. If you don't have a tripod (and ifyou want one tescos sell one for £10) then try setting the camera on the table top - so that it is still - also if your camera has a multi shot or timed shot feature try using these

This is what I use:
Tripod Nikon Coolpix S50C Macro Mode (very important) 3 shop lamps with 100W bulbs with tissue paper covering White paper for a background Light placement is one overhead and two to each side slightly front This is typically what the pictures look like after being corrected in photoshop using the automatic level, automatic color, and automatic contrast: ![]() Cheers, -Mike
