A favorite of mine... Simple, but perfect.
(I notice that when I post pics here, the colors and contrast seem somewhat reduced... I keep the sRGB info imbedded with the image, so not sure why this happens here. Any ideas?)

I notice that when I upload to flickr I get the same issue with colors. That figure is really sick by the way. |

Still, a great pic, Geo! Breathe some new life into the green that I have. Shifting him up from the back.

Thanks!  (Instead of converting to sRGB, I kept this one at its original prophoto working space - it looks better on my display... I had always read that you should convert to sRGB for web postings, but not sure now, based on the results. Maybe it looks just the same? I will try a side-by-side using the two different methods sometime. What do others do? Convert to sRGB before posting? Or is this all just nonsense?)

Yeah I have always had the same issues Geo, I dont know what either, just something I had accepted. May I ask what camera you are using ?? After some talks with Eric I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a Nikon D80 body ,with a sigma 17-70mm lens. I would love to know what your using to get such a great shot

If you go with the D80, I doubt that you will be disappointed. It is a very nice camera. In fact, I used a D80 to take the pics of the Bandel (with a Nikkor 105 macro lens). I often use my wife's Canon point-and-shoot though too. I think that getting the lighting how you want it for the intended purposes (and mood) of the shot is actually more important than the camera (though I have never taken a picture with my phone - I don't even know how to). I favor shooting outside, using natural light, when it is possible. I have a favorite patio chair that swivels - by rotating the chair with the figure sitting on it (on a white board or something), I can play with the direction of the light and shadows. Simple stuff like that can make a lot of difference. I just enjoy the whole process. LASH wrote: Yeah I have always had the same issues Geo, I dont know what either, just something I had accepted.

Yeah I have good luck with cannon point and shoot cameras. I have no clue why I bough a sony cyber-shot, I hate this camera. Its a I FART A LOT to get a good shot. WIth the cannon it was brainless and great quality. I have an OLD sony that I loved that broke, so after my dog chewed up the cannon I decided to go back to sony, bad move. Once I have a few extra bucks saved up I will ebay the sony to help out, at leats get a new lens. I want to move up the the DSLR level though. After spending all this money on point and shoit cameras I'm done. I like natural light, but I love my photobooth, all the control I need to get the shots I like. I like the stark black background sort of catalogue shot. |

I haven't tried one of the boxes yet, but it would probably be good for control and consistency, like you said. |

Any ideas?) if you are using photoshop to touch up stuff, by default it tries to embed a color contrast based on the monitor you are using. you actually should turn this off, as a lot of the time it screws up the color and ends up looking different then you want. i will post the link for doing this as soon as i can find it. also if you shoot in RAW adobe lightroom is your best friend. |
