used in conjunction with the cameras timer setting will give you a solid picture with no camera shake.
Don't use a flash, instead use a lamp with a halogen light and tape a piece of plain white paper/or tracing paper over the lamp. This will light the subject enough without creating a glare. You may wish to use more white paper opposite the lamp to "bounce" light alll around the mini.
Use Macro mode, the little flower button. And don't go too close. Use the optical zoom but not the digital.
When pressing the shutter button, half depress the button and wait for it to focus, the curser on screen should change to green. Once thats done continue pressing the button. Don't lift your finger off, hold it to focus.
There was a slick article in White Dwarf a bit ago about what settings to use on a more advanced camera. They also use two lamps. One above and one to the right, then bounce the ligt back onto the minit with a white paper on the left. They also used the white sheet of paper behind.
Always use that tripod that Gareth mentioned - or a stack of books(something that won't shake) if you can't afford one.
I just bought a new camera about a month before christmas, and it is ace. I use 2 lamps, both with daylight globes, and 2 sheets of paper, one to the left, and one behind te mini. Takes good pics. I should post some rather then just talk about them.
I just use my camera and whatever light is available, as well as a big sheet of white paper as a backdrop. Of course my photos turn out pretty badly, so I guess I'll need a cheap tripod and some lamps.
your pictures looks good (better than mine) except the one that got to dark. To bad you Brock you lamp.
If you want comment on your painting make a thread with those pictures. The only bad thing is that the page where you have your pictures upload really slow.:tongue:
I like your photos and your minis, you did a good job.
