Inspired of some very nice 6mm 30k miniatures, I created my own.
I also need pointers on how to take clearer photos of very small minis.
Currently using super close up mode.

From what I can see this are fun little guys. I'd really like to see these show up in some high res sometime to really get a good look at them.

I'm no photographer but be aware that unless you've got an optical lens, zooming in actually tends to make your pictures less clear as opposed to seeing details. You're probably better off taking the highest level picture supported on your camera and then cropping/resizing in a program

The camera's macro function is your friend...

Thanks for the tips.
Figured out where the Macro function is.
These are a little better, still suffering from shaky hands so only these were clear enough.
Of all the prints the lower part of the backpacks were the lease consistent some printed well others missing whole section.

They were based on a mix of Space Marine, Sisters of Battle and Nier Automata's bare ass.
I call them Ersatz Astartes :D

Sorry mate. I'll be sure to bring some bleach for you to scour your eyes​with.

Use a tripod to take pics, that way you won't have the shaking camera provlem anymore.

I'll try bracing against a chair or something first.
I noticed camera shake most when I'm trying to press the button, the button is pretty heavy.

If you sit the camera on something stable like a pile of books and use the timer function that might help.

I know there's been plentiful write ups about people building stands out of twists of pipe cleaners and whatnot for phones. Might be worth trying

Thanks for the ideas, I'll give the books idea a try first.
