I just wondered does anyone do photo's of mini's for websites that has a professional looking set up? With my Camera in question and my limited time I'm wondering what options I have to let someone else do this job and at what cost??? |

I cannot suggest anyone who takes those photos as such, but I have some links to a couple of articles that I have helped me take better pictures. They might help you. link link LLC aka ROn |

I asked because my camera my be FUBARed and if it is its hard to say when i'll get around to getting another one… I thought maybe someone here in the states with a setup for there website would offer to do them for a price… |

In that case, I would start with photography classes at the local community college. Those folks often work a reference and a line on a resume or a pizza. Go find the colleges bulletin board and post away. LLC aka Ron |

I've had a couple PM's so I'll get back with them first. The nearest college is an hours drive away and not really worth the effort as it would mean 4-5 trips I'm not making otherwise and wouldn't in this weather now anyway. It would be faster to wait for me to buy a new camera then to go find a college student… |

I ll do it for you $1 USD per e-photo +shipping of the minis
if they are raw castings and need to be dipped to bring out details add $.50 USD each mini. |

Yeah, ok… Well at $1.50/photo it would more then pay for a new digital camera, so not really worth me adding my time to prep the minis for shipping and add instructions. I can have a new Kodak digital for $50.00 USD here in a couple days… |

I would steer clear of Kodak digital cameras. While they were good with film cameras they are behind the curve with digital. I've heard nothing but bad things about their digital capabilities. Other than someone generously willing to do the pictures for free, anything less than $1.00 USD per picture probably isn't worth anyone's time to do it for you, considering it will take at least a couple hours to take all the photos of 50 or so miniatures, review them, and reshoot the ones that didn't come out good. I'm thinking buying a cheap camera is probably going to be best for you, especially if you plan to take more photos in the future. Of course a cheap camera has it's own problems. |

You'll need something better than a $50.00 USD camera. |

Problem is I only use a digital camer 2-3 times a year. A $50 USD scanner is 100 times more useful to me then a camera. So I don't ever intend to drop a couple hundred on a camera that will set in its box for months at a time. I have zero camera skills and absolutely will not touch a film camera at all as the entire roll will be black and useless. Even with a digital its 3-4 shots plus photo editing software to get something useable. I know what my skills are not and its not using cameras. |
