| | | If you're in the market to find a great camera to photograph your lego creations I say go Digital. Important to note, that to get great pictures purchase a camera that has Marco Focus ability.

If it's for online stuff, resolution isn't the most important (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | (...) Thank you Matthew! Yes I used a 3 point light system. Basically a back light (a light angled to luminate the model from the rear -- this seems useless but it really helps the edges of a model stand out. Next the primary light (a direct light (...)

Plus a whole bag of small single side 2" Mirrors on stands. Works great as you can place them around the Model and (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | | (...) Yeah, I still have to get one. The Nikon cameras have a nice feature where you hold down the shutter and it takes approx 10 pictures in quick succession and keeps only the clearest. This works amazingly well -- I've gotten clear shots with 1/2 (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

My camera[1] takes great close-up pictures with the macro, but only if there's *copious* amounts of natural (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | (...) Urp, re-reading what I wrote above, it doesn't sound like praise for the camera. Actually, in the cases that I'm not 100% satisfied with its quality, I'm usually about 90% to 95% satisfied with it. Drooling over some of the Nikon pix I've (...)
