Hey everyone,

After some requests, here is a video talking about photography. The most important thing for me is really learning what your camera settings do. If you understand that, you’ll be able to figure out how to take good photos. I must admit I forgot to mention one key factor, everything is in full manual mode on the camera. I haven’t changed my camera out of manual for so long I forgot to mention it.

The Camera I recommend is the canon R50, but as I mention in the video you can get a great camera used if you are on a smaller budget. If you are really interested here are a few good links to read during or after the video. I cut the video down from 55 minutes to 35 as I felt I probably went in to too much detail. Its a such a big subject so I’ve tried my best. Anyway, I hope it helps!

Andy

Understanding Camera Settings for Better Mini Photos

Oh YES! Thanks Andy - looking forward to watching this and applying it. I've currently got way to long a workflow with image stacking for small single minis or 25/32mm bases which I hope to slim down

Thanks for the great explanation. I‘d have loved to see a picture or something of your video-recording setup. You mentioned a couple of times, that filming the painting process is very hard, so I‘m interested in your setup and why it‘s so hard.

Looking forward to this! Appreciate having some homework to read through too

It such a wide topic to pack in one video. You did a very good job summarizing it. 🤘🏻

It’s interesting seing your thought process and making the kit work for you and your needs. I was going to ask if you do anything different for box art bits or do you send that away and that’s done by others? Also do you find that once you have taken a photo and then looked back at the mini that the colours are different?

Great video again! I have an older Nikon with a kit lens that I somewhat struggle with as I have to use the full zoom to get sharp photos but then can't use the full amount of pixels available. I've "solved" the issue with an old mechanical 50mm objective that is lovely and a extension tube set to get close to the mini. This + photo stacking results in very good shots in my novice opinion... But it's quite the hassle!
