How to take good pictures of your customs!

[Cosmicman]

After beating my head against the wall for awhile. I think I have come up with the solution to capturing my mego customs without them looking like crap.
Besides going outside (as one member so bluntly put it). I want to capture the figures in the privacy of my home without the neighbors thinking I am a fruitcake, outback on my knees in 12 inches of snow taking pictures of figures.

I found this online. It is a tutorial on how to make a cheap lighted tent box. This weekend I am going to build this and my custom Moon Knight I am working on will be the Ginnie pig.


The pictures are pretty self-explanatory



What you need for this project.








This is the outcome of this poor man's lighted tent box this guy took pictures of with...

I know! I keep seeing those photography tents for 400 bucks and I said there has to be a better way. Last night someone sent me that. That sure beats the 400 dollar photography tents.

hell yeah,I never thought you could take pics like that with just that. I might just have to do that myself

of course it doesn't hurt that that's a great camera as well

Trying will be half the fun... or the frustration

What's wrong with looking like a fruitcake in the snow?

Awesome!! I'm going to have to try this. My neighbors already think I'm strange, but being that I hate to be outdoors anyway, this is perfect!!!

Well, if you feel like a fruit cake, perhaps you should consider a different hobby. Or at least wait for the snow to melt.
