Thanks for saying so, Chris. I'll pass along the compliments to Ross. He has
been extremely gratified by everyone's kind praise!
As far as encouragement goes, that's an interesting topic. I have a daughter
who is 2 years older than Ross whom I *really* encouraged to play with LEGO.
She was the first; she was the one who built all of the sets I bought; Ross was
really just the little brother who watched. She sort of lost interest and his
picked up, but I really don't remember how! His interest and talent just sort
of appeared-- he really does amaze me.

None, really. Ideally, I try and shoot on a sunny day, and usually off of my
deck (but only for convenience-- the white background is actually just the
siding on my house:-) For color sats, I've found that shooting with a late
afternoon sun work best, and having the sun directly behind object or at a 90
degree angle.
Another thing that I like to do is shoot from a Minifig's perspective, in order
to add some realism to the pic, especially if I'm shooting a train or a
building. I really try to avoid shooting down on an MOC.
Thanks again for the compliments, Chris!
