a few minis

[copperdragon0]

Having finally gotten a decent digital camera I figured I would try to get some pics of some my minis I have painted and give it a good test run. Comments welcome and enjoy the pics.

The Paintjob is quite nice, though i see a few mold lines/ join areas on the front.

The recessed areas on the back should be a touch darker IMO.

What brand of digital cam?

Nice to see your work. Good choice on your first post. Looks very true to the movie image.

Your camera's flash really impacted the photo. Try putting static lighting on the mini and turning off the flash. (My photos run the gamut from poor to acceptable. It's a whole new skill to learn and develop...)

Keep posting.

Looks nice. I'd like to see more detail. The flash seems to have washed out some of the colors in the picture.

From what I can see I'd say, good job.

the camera is a nikon coolpix 5600. I tried turning off the flash but that only got me alot of really dark pictures. What type of light source do you guys recomend? And yes those are stinking mold lines I didn't catch till after I started highlighting stuff and then they jumped right out. I really hate when I miss those dang things. Anyways here is a dragon from reaper don't remember what it's name is right off hand. I love good dragon minis though. Hard to find in my opinion, at least not without paying an arm and a leg for them. Oh well, enjoy the pics and thanks for the comments.

Hey Copperdragon,
Nice dragon. An awesome dragon like that deserves an awesome base.

On photography.
As Frankthedm said to me in my own mini thread. Try natural sunlight (take photos outside.)
That is probably the best.
I put a neutral background (my game mat) under and behind my mini's. I sort of create a ramp so there isn't a crease (horizon line) behind the mini.
Then I put a desk lamp on each side pointing at the mini. If I have my camera settings right, the photos come out pretty good. (except when they don't...)

I hope that helps.
