I just got AU$250 in birthday money so I am now in a position to buy a usable digital camera (what I have is no good for lego since it doesnt have a macro mode). So, I want to know what camera to buy with my AU$250 (plus some of my own money). Any (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.publish.photography, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Thanks Kevin! Here are some details on what I usually do... Setup: Here's a (URL) of my usual photography setup. I used to use a long piece of heavy paper from a (very) large printer but I find the bed sheet is much easier to work with. Due to (...)

Very nice Jason. Between that and Junkbot I can see you've been using your time very well :) I have one question. How are you taking such high quality photographs - especially the ones with the all white backgrounds? The photographs are brilliantly (...)

I've been taking a lot of photos of LEGO people and their creations over the past 18 months, and right after I got back from NWBrickCon 2003, I thought it would be fun to see what all those photos looked like in an ultra-fast chronological photo (...)

(...) Use a manual white balance reading if you have to. As long as there is no interfering sunlight or other light color type, the images should be fine. -jHk (22 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.publish.photography)

(...) Some additions to what Chris said. Not all light is created equal. I used to flood my models with incandescent light bulbs, which would put a very heavy yellow tinge on my pictures. When I moved to my new build space I put up natural light (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.publish.photography)
