your probbably right,but im as good at using a camera,as a newborn walking!!!

Ok well to take close-up pictures you need to use the macro function, it looks like its on the left arrow of the cross pad on the back, look for the little flower symbol. In macro you will be able to focus much closer, your cameras' manual should explain how to use it properly.

Photography can often become a case of wanting to take close up photos cos your minis are small.

My best tips are:

1) Keep the light behind you
2) Use an opposing colour as background - ie black for white minis
3) Take the photos from at least 30cm distance and crop them to make them closer after taking them

Best photos I have taken are in real light. But a good Day Light bulb (which I use for painting) will achieve a good photo.

One more day!! I have some more highlighting left to finish on my Daemon Prince - Which wont be done till tomorrow. Then I can post my pictures!!

How is everyone else doing? On Target?

hopefully with all the massive drama (and still not having the paints i wanted) will have cleared up early next month, and i'll be able to catch up...
plus i still havent decided what faction i want to start with...

Pretty much on target, normally I find painting quite difficut to do. I'm fine with the odd stand now and then but anything in bulk just feels like work. Knowing that I'm doing it as part of a group really has helped and I'm quite enjoing painting.

yeah seeing what others are doing has been helping me. Also knowing that we are all moving to painting up the same amount of pts in similar amount of time feels alot less like lone painting. I listen to podcasts too about various game systems.

Just need to photo my minis tomorrow and then I can post what I have done!

Month one is over, first post updated and anyone who did not start a thread for their army has been removed from the initial listing.
