[Hotfoot]

Here are some tips on photographing your MEGOS. Unfortunately they did not use a MEGO as the Model!

I still need to cut the sides out and get 2 small lamps to help balance the light.

Note to self: Don't set it up with a window behind me when the sun is shining in!

And my first results.

Dr. Spectrum, my first custom from 2009.

The Burger King.
Started in 2009, to be finished in 2011!



Anybody have a scale Spatula?

Camera set on Macro Close up with no flash. Still have to find my desk top tripod.

Total investment so far $5.50 for the folding foam core background. (I tried using it without the box and was not happy. Lighting and Shadows too harsh)

Of course if I did not want to be cheap I can get this



on Amazon for around $50.00!

Your best bet is shooting pics with just the lights in the box...basically the room is completely dark except for the light that is focused into the box. Hope that helps
