I just bought a Sony Cybershot DSC-P32 (there is no way my budget could stretch to anything more, plus I got this one at a discount). Anyone got any tips for using this camera to photograph lego?

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 (...)
