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)

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- well alot- of it is your camera- fixed focus 4 feet to infinity ain't going to do very well in the macro realm. Something like the $200 canon A60 would do a lot better in getting closer.
