There are many good guides on the internet.<br /><br />You will need a fairly high end camera, at least something that you can adjust dept of field and exposure. Set depth of field pretty high and to compensate for it (and also for not using flash) you will have to have your exposure pretty high (usually mine is around 2''). For this reason you will also need a tripod because there is no way on Earth you could hold your camera absolutely still for 2 seconds!<br /><br />Hope this helps.The Antipopehttp://cadia122.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-43180739171956978912011-11-13T13:14:07.855+00:002011-11-13T13:14:07.855+00:00Much appreciated, that was the thing I was looking...Much appreciated, that was the thing I was looking at getting.

I got mine for <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=19.5%22+Photo+Tent+Studio+Tripod+Light+Photography+Box" rel="nofollow">$35</a>.<br /><br />* Fiddle with the settings on your camera. Expect lots of trial-and-error to find the best configuration. Take notes.<br /><br />* Take several versions of every shot. Easier to snap 5 exposures and delete 4, keeping the best.<br /><br />* Download and run Picasa. Open your picture in it and hit I'm Feeling Lucky. It always makes an improvement. Crop appropriately.<br /><br />Lots of light, trial-and-error, Picasa.Rushputinhttp://warpstonepile.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-11824493258272434012011-11-13T00:35:33.702+00:002011-11-13T00:35:33.702+00:00It was too complicated to explain it, so I posted ...It was too complicated to explain it, so I posted some photos of my setup on my blog at: http://thelazaruseffect.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-i-photograph-miniatures.htmlJohn Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-59548529160385950312011-11-12T22:53:40.175+00:002011-11-12T22:53:40.175+00:00Thanks mate.Thanks mate.Warflakehttp://40kn00b.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-39011657017166293932011-11-12T22:53:37.675+00:002011-11-12T22:53:37.675+00:00That's pretty much what I did before, thought ...That's pretty much what I did before, thought I may need to increase the quality though.
