Well, I went out and got a digital camera today...finally. It came down to
the Sony Mavica FD83 and the Nikon Coolpix 800.  (Castle readers, don't worry,
there _is_ a reason this is in the group.)

Both cameras were great - the Sony especially is very friendly and easy to use
- but I decided to go with the Nikon's higher resolution (1600x1200) and a
feature set that was more likely to be useful to me.

Anyway, I'm very pleased with my choice, and I've put up a couple of pictures
I took tonight at my LEGO site.  (The address is in my .sig.)  The pics are of
some modified minifigs I made a month or so ago, inspired by the Final Fantasy
series of games.  (I figured Castle was the most appropriate LEGO theme.)  I'm
really pleased with how they turned out (both the figs and the pics.)

On the page, I included some basic information on the photography conditions -
lighting and such - is this sort of stuff helpful to people?  Should I
continue
to include it in other MOC sections I put up?  Or is it just more useless info
cluttering up the page?  Is there other information that would be helpful?
Distance from camera to figs, ISO eqivalent of the picture, that sort of thing?
If there is, let me know.

J

I'm very interested in your photography techniques! What are the zoom and macro capabilities of your Nikon, if I may ask? I'm looking for a good digital camera that can handle objects closer than the standard 10 inches. -- Paul Davidson craig (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Thanks, Craig! Craigo-lego was definitely the biggest inspiration that actually got me thinking about the possibilities of painted or otherwise decorated LEGO. I still think we need a lugnet.blasphemy group for painting, sawing, snipping, and (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
