Re: Hosea's blog
@ demi and mahon and everyone
I would like to ask the opinion about the background. Some ppl, eg GW official? like to use white background as it seems to provide a clean, unique and standardized atmosphere, esp if showing a large number of models.
Given that my humble little site is going to be dark grey as the main color, guys, I really have a hard time to choose the background colors. Pls kindly give me some advices?
Of course, I think that printed blur color background form mahon, demi and some other ppl here are very very nice.

Re: Hosea's blog
imo white bg is just striking - it distracts attention from model itself 
but dark one (not necessary very dark) is pleasant to watch at and if you choose color which matches the painthjob you can create very nice atmosphere of whole work

Re: Hosea's blog
I'm also not a big fan of the white backgrounds. I prefer a neutral background or the blue gradient. I'd really like to get the one that Mahon is using. :-p

Mahon,
I wonder how many lights do you put in your miniature photo shooting setting? and the placements of the lights? Thanks a lot for your tips.

wow, that was quite surprising....
as for my lighting setup, I tend to use three variants:
1. favorite: daylight only, no lamps
2. quick: one lamp in front of the mini, slightly above - it has a long lightbulb so it gives good directional light.
3. rarely used: 2-3 lamps: two long ones on the sides, slightly before and above the mini. the last one above the camera.
remember to diffuse the light when using lamps.
