thanks for this howto giovanni! i'll try this for sure! ... but can't promise better results!
Giovanni,
With small objects like these little figures, the trick is to "narrow" the beam of light coming from the lamp.
Place some flags (two pieces of cardboard or anything to block the light)in front of the lamp in a "V" shape and narrow that beam to light up just the area you want and reduce the spilloff of light to the background and foreground.
Another thing, you can do the same using a mirror instead of adding a third light.
Just have the mirror bounce some light coming from the main light.
I hope this helps.
Wow, thanks Giovanni, I can hardly wait to take new photos of all my models.
Giovanni,
Sorry, I am just now getting around to all your threads.
That project Simpatico took all my time!
Great article. There are a lot of good modelers that simply cannot photograph them.
Well done!
Bob
