I am saving up for a digital camera. My current camera is a very old SLR
35mm. That is part of the problem. There is a lot of dirt inside the
camera and the lense is getting foggy so things aren't alway in focus.

I haven't tried adjusting stuff in photshop yet. I took these last thursday
night. right after the last parts arrived in the mail. for lighting I used
a halogen lamp and a bunch of desk lamps placed around the model. But yeah
the lighting is not all that great (plus I don't have a flash and the flash
shoe on my camera is horribially bent)

I would love to have the tools to photograph these properly but that is in
the future. I want to post detail pics but they never come out.
