hater dave Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I remeber when I first joined the boards a few months back someone had posted some tips for photographing mini's. I did a search but was unsuccessful. I thought it was on here but maybe I am wrong. Does this sound familiar to anyone? thanks -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 There was a purge awhile back to trim up our "little" board. It might have been a thread that was culled form the herd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styates Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 That's what I was thinkin' too. I tried to find it but couldn't either. Dave - If you put your questions in a post, I'll bet the Photo Gods around here would be happy to give you answers galore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hater dave Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Oh so maybe thats where it went. hmmm. I have never taken pics of minis before and I think I want to post one I recently finished so I was trying to find that thread. I thought it also covered how to make a basic light box too. I will expirement and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Some pointers (I'm assuming you're using a digital), make sure your camera is stable (use a tripod if you have one) and use the timer. See if it has a macro setting for close-ups. Set your picture resolution as high as it'll go, then you can resize it in an editor, helps keep the details. Put as much light on the subject as you can without washing it out. If you're like me and don't have a lot of good lighting you can play with the exposure lenght, but it'll take some experimenting to get it right. If you're using incandescant or flourescent lights they will shift the color of the picture. Usually using the automatic color correction feature of the software of your choice will fix it to an acceptable state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 There were a few about light boxes: Do a search for "light box" and I think there are a few useful one's there... including one with a link to Ary's PDF about taking photos.

ReaperShaun Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Im sure it is covered in the linkage posted above but as a general rule it is wise to do three point lighting... ie one light source behind and two in front at 45degree angles with regard to the horizon line and left/right from models front. good luck with the pics.
