I would love to give you some positive feedback about your methods, but for me the pictures are far to blurry to be able to tell anything. Maybe I need new reading glasses. Cheers.

It's not you. They looked a lot better on the camera, and I apologise. I'm just not sure how to make the photos look any better with the lights and camera I have available. |

Does your camera have a macro setting? Use that and frontlight the figures (don't use the camera flash, though – that will white them out). I can usually get very good results showing the figures up close and personal. |

Also, don't try and take pictures of something with stuff far behind it (more figures, etc) because your camera's auto-focus will usually get confused and focus to the back. You'll have blurry crap in the front, and tiny in focus stuff behind it. |

Roger that guys. Next time I have the models to hand and some spare time I'll try doing it in small batches with frontlighting. Is macro the "28 inches or less" option? |

H'mm must try that, too! Unless I can get my son to use his camera and better skills for me! |
