Hey I have a friend that was wanting some advice on photographing his miniatures for posting on dakka. I know this will have been a topic extensively covered and recovered. Does anyone one know of any good thread that I can send his way?

Google is always your best bet overall, and Massive Voodoo tends to be awesome for tutorials.

Dakka also has a search function -

Try looking under tutorials.

I'm sure there's one in there somewhere.

I found this article to be the most useful to me personally. There is a whole section for this.

This is about as simple as it gets but the results are great. I use a simple digital camera. 12 mega pixel I think which is pretty standard these days. Heres a pic of my set up:



Yeps thats right its a piece of paper and a desk lamp. Quite nice pictures though. Heres one I just took:



Also if you want to add some shading from one direction just change the orientation of the lamp. I tend to just have it looking down on the model. Gives it some nice shades.

Chur.

Hey everybody thanks for the input. I'll refer him to this post.
