Your picture rocks! The way the light reflects off that giant red x!

Redfang · Post by **Redfang** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 9:47 am

and look at how sharp and crisp it is!

pict worked once for me and then no longer

Farming Geocities and Farming censor to make an "m" out of my "f"

copying image location might work but I don't think it will

You still need learning boy, that picture is nowhere the size of Norse-sized-pics.

Seriously, I can bring you some software to process pics when I come to Utrecht if you like (and if you don't have some software already).

yeah, pic is tiny..

I like the "out-of-focus cloudy sky" background though... very arty!

Just the topic I needed.
Over the last few days I tried to take some pictures with a digicam, but I only got a blurry blotch of various colours. Darn thing won't focus on the mini. What can I do?

use the close-up macro funtion (usually indicated with a flower)

And do not place the camera too near the object. Uusally the best distance is aprox. 50-70cm.

@Norse; Geocities wouldn't accept the picture at the original size

took mine from 10cm or so (I think)

Bullshit! Set the camera on the biggest macro setting and then get as close to the model as possible...

I like to have the lens actually touching the model if possible..

That's far too far away. My camera has a macro distance of 4cm and like Redfang says, about the max you want to move away is 10cm. Any further and it'll be too small!

Then I have obviously a bullshit camera, sticking the lens onto the minis never worked for me. I got the pic sharp only when I moved the camera away a little. I guess you should do trial & error and see what is the best for your camera. But I still think that nearest does not equals best...

I usually take my pics from about 20cm away.
