nytflyr Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 After fighting with taking consistent pictures, I finally found the "place" that gives me the best lighting... I take the minis upstairs into the bathroom. I set the figure down on the sink (on a grey t-shirt, but I assume a curled piece of paper would work as well, turn on all the lights (and hopefully the sun is out, so I can open the blinds as well), attach a shop lamp to the hand-towel holder, set the camera on a tripod in front of the sink and viola! Though you all might have found this amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Nah it's not that odd. I used to take mini pics in my bathroom because it has white wallpaper and a huge mirror over the sink to bounce the light around and make it more even. Also there's the fact that there's a nice ready-made place to hang a shop-lite or two. The only reason I ever moved OUT of the bathroom is that my bathroom is so small there was no room for the tripod unless I knelt on top of the toilet seat to focus the camera. Well..that and the fact that sometimes my bathroom was being used for 'other stuff'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruunwald Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 When I lived at home back in the yonder, I used to occasionally use my mom's bathroom for recording vocals on my demo tapes, and for a few other assorted sound effects. (Yes, like the sound of the toilet flushing.) Nice, natural echo chamber, though the vocals did tend to fade a bit from the mic, just because of all the reverberation. Bathrooms are good for all sorts of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Haldir! So YOU'RE the one who's been reading in my bathroom! (Probably also left the seat up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltique Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I used to do my homework in the bathroom when i was a kid. It was the only place no one would bother me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
