hey all, just a quick question about photos and lighting, what's the best way to go about setting up proper lighting for photos of your minis? I want to improve on the quality of the photos I take so any recommendations from the more veteran hobbyists would be much appreciated! thanks!

**teh unforgiven**

I dont use lighting at all, but then i need good other light so you can still see the details

I would recommend -
a light tent eg -

and at least 3 lamps (preferably with daylight simulation bulbs which can be costly)
Macro is not needed IMO, just good zoom & take photos from about 1m away & zoom in.
