He'y'all,
Two parts to this post, feel free to respond to either or both...
part I
I'm having trouble with takin pictures,
Some times they turn out too dark, sometimes they turn out kind of like they
were under candle light, :-)

any ideas on lighting? I'm looking for results like this...

part II
This is why this is relevant to space and mecha...sort of...
For the next chapter in my story, the scenes are going to be battle scenes,

I have absolutely no idea how though, I figured people in space are fairly
familiar with this technique, as are some of the mecha people, so any ideas?
I've tried tinkering with this lot's, but could never figure it out...
Thanks everyone! =^)

| (...) One final thing you might try (and again, Photoshop works wonders here) is adjusting the levels on your pics. I did this to the two pictures you highlighted above and there was a remarkable difference. Even using 'auto levels' in Photoshop (...) (23 years ago, 8-Nov-01, to lugnet.publish.photography)

| my two studs: outside natural sunlight is the best. don't underestimate cloudy/overcast days though. overcast days are ideal conditions for photographing artwork for slides so it my work for lego models (i don't see why not). give them both a try (...)
