I'm better than I was but even now, I'll load a batch of photos and think "what happened here?" My setup is pretty much what you've got. A daylight lamp, a digital camera and pieces of paper I swap out. <br /><br />If you crack the code, be sure to post up the solution. ;-)Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-28220459993957300452014-01-22T08:15:30.291+00:002014-01-22T08:15:30.291+00:00My camera's far too complicated, the manual is...My camera's far too complicated, the manual is as thick as me!!

Use a remote as per mr Awdry, or Timer Delay so you are not touching the camera. I am using my camera flash , but using a diffuser which is working well.DaveDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995593231170018770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-22741140105905315732014-01-21T21:54:17.741+00:002014-01-21T21:54:17.741+00:00You seem to be doing fine Phil, good images.You seem to be doing fine Phil, good images.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-702319984344371022014-01-21T20:34:47.567+00:002014-01-21T20:34:47.567+00:00Your photography set up is much better than mine. ...Your photography set up is much better than mine. I normally just stick a sheet of white foam-core behind and then either another white sheet or the painted and flocked sheet under the models. I use my standard daylight lamp, but adjust the height and angle. I'm using a basic digital camera with a tripod and a 2 second delay.<br /><br />Your entries so far have been great Phil. Your painting quality is right up there, far above mine.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-48510560730444164892014-01-21T20:26:18.097+00:002014-01-21T20:26:18.097+00:00Well with regards to the photography set up, sound...Well with regards to the photography set up, sounds to me that you have it spot on. Like you I use a tripod and high f. numbers to achieve depth of field, but I have invested in a remote control so I can set up and retire to a safe distance before firing!
