I've got a 12-inch light tent and a couple of table top daylight stands.
Still learning to take better photos, I'm pretty happy with the result. : )
I used to take photos outdoors on an overcast day or in the shade before noon.
I did her WIP back in August. Comments and/or criticism are welcome.

The new photography really shows off your nice work.

[Fruggs]

Very nice! Your light tent seems to do the trick too.

While I think your previous photo method was more challenging, the new method does show your BEAUTIFULLY painted & based mini Miss off to advantage...the pink is quite striking. VERY WELL DONE on all counts.

Amazing! How many gifted painters are there around here!?

I dunno, but if somebody would gift one to me I might have a shot at getting all my minis done.

Gorgeous! I love the cool colors and the subtle base detail of a few autumn leaves. Where did you get your light tent if I may ask? I need to better my picture taking.

Thanks Buglips, Fruggs, malefactus, CashWiley, DSModels for your nice comments.

* 12-inch light tent, I paid about $15 at Amazon.com

* Table top lighting kit, I paid about $40 also at Amazon.com

* It is good to read 'Photographing Arts, Crafts & Collectables' by Steve Meltzer.

I own a Canon DSLR, and a portable Nikon digital camera, but I like using iPhone
to take figure photos. Somehow phone camera gets better focus on small objects...
(I'm still learning to level up the world of miniature photography.)

I placed the light tent & the lights on a bookshelf. I'm planning on surrounding the shelf in white.

Nice! Thanks for the photo of your set up and links to the items.

[DSModels]

What an inspiration you are . I just went out .. well stayed in and ordered on line a set up. This one to be exact http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=170920937644. Now to just learn to manually focus my camera .
Thanks again.

[Corporea]

really nice!! The setup is much easier than the old tungsten lights and film! Love the digital age. Are those birch seed leaves?!

[evergrin]

Are those birch seed leaves?!

Yes, Corporea. Jennifer Haley gave them to me for free at a Paint & Take station when I was just starting to paint.
Isn't she nice? I've kept them for years, I've never ever used them until recently.

I need to get out and look for those my self. I wanted some for my Halloween entry.

Evergrin the Photos look great, and it brings even more of the detials out on the fig. I liked it before in your original post and even more now. I really like that lightbox and may put my plans on making one out of a milk crate on hold and just order that one you posted. Although the one you show gave me another way of approach on making my own.

erg...I have a bunch of minis I need to photograph. Can I borrow you?

Beautiful mini, beautiful photos. The cool browns on her vest and pants are really nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
