Notice how the black detail is completely lost and the red hue isn't consistent across the image (perhaps because of the (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | (...) Wow. That's a very nice gundam! It's meaty--and I love the shield. :) But you *can* photograph it--the big problem is the source of light. Flashes are never kind with black--it shows off the studs too well. I'd suggest popping the $10 to get (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

My brother even suggested halogen worklights to me. Definitely a good idea. (...) Wow! I can't believe that (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

A little more color adjustment would probably improve it even more. Just don't mix fluorescent and (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | I dunno...the black looks good to me...real good. More importantly what scares me is that you have a fully done Gundam sitting around "gathering dust". What's up with that? You got more? :-) Later, Bryce (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | The funny thing is I'm not using a flash and I'm using a "painter's light" essentially halogen with a white diffuser to simulate sunlight, it just doesn't work with black lego in this case (perhaps vertical plates are more shiny than bricks). Here's (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Say, one behind/above, one on the front left and one on the front right. Even lighting provided by multiple lights (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

You can diffuse the light using a diffuser (expensive if you aren't into photography as a hobby), or (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
