background.  I set my models in the center when I photographed them (I wish
I would have thought of this before I photographed my forestmen's cave.)


Thats what I'm going to be trying today, big white boards around the
figures, then CG them wherever I want them to be.

Also I used kodak 400 max film since I wasn't using a flash and was indoors.
I think the way film numbers work is as the number gets higher the less
light you need.  100 outdoor, 200 outdoor/indoor with flash, 400 indoor.
(there might even be 800 film (?) I would guess that is low light film.  the
difference between 200 and 400 is surprising, black shows much better.


I'm no Photography expert, but my GF who likes to play with her camera says
"200 for outdoor, 400 for low light/indoor, 800 is just for super speed
shots (like taking pictures of race cars) so don't bother with it".  And
yes, 400 will look LOTS better then 200 for shooting Lego!
