Figure photo question
Mon 2011/04/11 01:31 JST
Got a light photo box recently but photo's still not Brilliant any tips and tricks for good photo's with not so good camera? >.< My camera is Fujifilm AV120 finepix not sure this will help you give me tips but when it comes to camera's I do get a bit lost >.<
Well, obviously I don't know what kind of camera you are using but it looks like you're on the right track. The Nadeko one, in particular, looks really nice. Are you doing anything to them in Photoshop?
I have updated with my camera details well what was wrote on the camera. Thankyou I will try and do what ever I did then I think it was more light from the window coming in. I know how to use photoshop but the most I do to them is resize them. Is there anything I can do in photoshop?
Experiment a bit, whatever you did for Sengoku Nadeko was good.
I don't know exactly how your setup is but judging from only what I can see, I would say try to make the light source stronger and bring it to the front of the figure more.
Try out different angles and locations of your light source.
Thankyou I am happy you like the Nadeko ones as they are the most recent I must be getting at least a little better.
Thankyou for the advice too I will try that next time ^_^
Not bad! I would say mess around with your lighting and camera settings! Having a good camera or lens or light doesnt make a good photographer, its all about technique :)
But so far, i like them! Maybe changing angles and adding light on certain parts would help
I got to disagree with you there. Light is a very important part of photography. Technique is to know how to control the light.
Even a new photographer can take wonderful photos if the settings happens to be right.
Thankyou ^_^ I certainly thinking about messing around with my lighting
I use to use a light box but it limited my creativity. plus the lamps that came with it sucked.
This will help you, a lot: http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/8294
Thankyou very much ^_^ this seems like it will certainly help if my lights are also sucky :)
Try setting the aperture to manual and setting it a bit more open, or set to aperture priority..
The book "Digital Photography for Dummies 4th edition" by David D. Busch has a lot of good tips and tricks.

Thankyou very much seems like a book for me ^_^ I hope I can take great figure photo's soon :) time to start experimenting with lighting and reading.
When it comes to figure photography I find reading the tutorials at Happy Soda a good read. Why do extra work tweaking digitally when you don't have to. Although it is a good idea to pick up on that to fix random hiccups here and there.
