Pictures?

When I take my photos I use my phone, 2 desktop lamps, and a blue lid for a container. I don’t think they come up that great… But I thought I would let you know. You can look at my MOCs to see how they came out.

On my desk, with natural light, in the morning.

I generally use my dad’s phone for pictures because they always look great with that camera.

Cool I have cleaned off a space on my desk that I have against a wall, and I will use a lamp depending on the light in my room.

I have a light box that I can set up on my desk, alongside two desk lamps.

I used to just take the pictures with my phone, then I got an old camera, and used that. Now I just do this: Grab MOC. Go outside. Take a few pictures. Go inside. Upload MOC.

I don’t just leave the door open obviously

I use my phone against a wall, usually standing on paper and I have two lamps angled at it (my desk and reading light). As long as you have a decent background and lighting you’ll be fine.

I just make them with a phone of something else.

I used to use natural light and my phone, but since I have a nice white wall I use my room light, natural light and a desk lamp depending on the time

I use a portable mini-studio with four changeable backgrounds called Konig KN-Studio12. It has two spotlights and a camera stand. I use a two-second delay when taking pictures to avoid shaking (I let go of the camera to before it takes the shot).

I also edit my photos with Windows Photo Gallery before uploading them to web. Some modifications to strengthen the colors and cropping out empty space.

My windows aren’t in a great place for me to use natural light, thats why I use multiple lamps.

True I need a second lamp for when it gets darker

14

I shoot during the day by a window or in my room where there is always sufficient light through the regular lighting. I just take a large black piece of construction paper and lean it against the wall, but leave a curve so that some is on the floor. Then I place the figure on the paper and take a photo, usually with Prisma. I have yet to actually upload any MOCs with Prisma filters, but I regularly use the paper. I’ll put a picture up if I get time.

Please do

I use my phone, that I rest on a couple of books for stability. I choose the heights of the books based on the heights of the MOCs. I’ve used colored bandanna-like pieces of fabric as my backgrounds, before that, I used bedsheets and foamboards. I use natural lighting as much as possible. but I turn the blinds such that it’s a little subdued.

I use my natural light white desk and my phone{got a new one so that’s why I am being more active} or my computer to take pictures

I use a smartphone, with varying backgrounds (outside on our picnic table, my own white foamboards or the fireplace) I don’t really use lamps, as I get enough light from the setup itself.
