Shooting Figurines using a Compact Camera

Posted by Alafista OTAKU [www] 

Photography and collecting figurines are two of my biggest passion, and of course I also enjoy figurine photography.

Recently, I wrote a short article for the IXUS Style Magazine on Figurine Photography so I thought I would share it with you folks as well.

Do head over if you are interested in picking up some simple and useful tips on how to produce good shots of your favorite figurines. And the best part of it all, I managed to achieve all the shots using just a simple point-and-shoot compact camera.

On a side note, I will be conducting two sessions of figurine photography workshop at the upcoming Anime Festival Asia 2011 - one focusing on shooting with compact cameras and the other with DSLR. I was hoping to gather some feedback on what are some of the things that you would like to learn. Of course, do lend me your support by showing your presence at the workshop. I will share with you the details of the workshop once they are finalised.

    My first posts here were with a kodak point n shoot. there's nothing wrong with them at all! I'm a firm believer that it's the person behind the button, rather than the equipment. Do try all of the settings and see what happens before you give up!! *you'll be surprised!*

    Good shots...

    ^.^
