Not exactly a question about painting, more about how one can take good-looking pictures of a finished model. I can never seem to get mine to turn out right. My necrons always end up blurry ;-;

Give me an idea of what type of camera you are using?


Tips for Blurry figurs.

1. Get a tripod. (they can be found pretty cheaply - table top size is fine
2. Use the Timer setting on the camera with the tripod. That way pressing the button won't cause the camera to jiggle.
3. Use the macro mode. this is the little flower on the camera. It allows for short focal lenghts (under 20cm). Then you can bring the camera to the figure to snap the shot.
4. If you have the ability, turn off autofocus and do it by hand (most likely you don't have this ability).
5. If the camera has trouble "focusing" on the figure (the laser range finder is missing the fig) you can put a piece of paper in front of the figure (touching it). Range to the paper (press the button to focus). Then pull the paper away and snap the picture.


Good luck,

John
