That will diffuse it some what (or toilet paper). Or, if it's an overcast day, just take it outside and photo it. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to the new photos.

Really useful tips regarding the tripod and timer/shutter though - I have a tripod somewhere hidden away I will dig out and will play with the camera settings. I already have a light tent to diffuse things so hopefully this time next week when the lamps arrive I can start taking some semi-decent pics! Watch this space.

2) ...Easy fast fixes.<br /><br />1) Tripod (super important).<br />2) Setting a shutter to "remote or timed" (Mini's usually require long shudder times to get decent depth of field, so just pressing the button can screw them up)<br />3) Diffuse lighting (bounce the light off a wall, or put something transparent in front of it). Mini's hate harsh shadows. Covers up all the details. If you are using a flash, don't aim the flash at the mini, aim it at the ceiling or wall.<br /><br />greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4391623713288826384.post-21081648595080576202014-10-08T21:46:35.589+01:002014-10-08T21:46:35.589+01:00Hey Greg.

Yeap, I'm now at the stage where I'm getting p****d off with poor quality photos and so have decided to invest in some proper lighting for the light tent. Only problem is I don't really have a clue about anything photographic. The camera is a bog-standard panasonic lumix which seems to be OK for most things. Does anyone have any tips on which type of lighting / bulbs would be good to improve the artificial lighting in the light tent? I gather I need 2-3 lamps. Any input greatly appreciated folks and once I've got them I'll take a gallery of my favourite models and post it. Cheers folks.
