Yet another reason to get a digital camera. I take pics of black models with both
the flash on and off, at slightly different angles, and take WAY too many pics,
then look at them on my laptop to decide which to keep, throwing out over half of
them many times.
Of course, with an all black model (like my SWAT truck, which I need to take pics
of AGAIN, I totally reworked it, and "finished" it finally), it is STILL next to
impossible to get good pics unless you have lots of patience and try many different
lighting techniques.
