| Thanks guys- and sorry for the thread title it should read (check here if you are crap at taking pictures LIKE ME) believe me, I suck with cameras, what I was always aiming for was a uniform look to my shots, not one on a brown table, one on a white surface, one with glare, one with reflection, etc etc so this was a good day  I just uploaded a couple more, these unfortunately were done with acrylic cases so there is a reflection top right of the camera but I can iron out the creases next time I shoot some pictures and get it better with some more practice, these were all taken without flash, just a non flash photo letting the sun from outside shine through the curtain, it really illuminates the shot and in some you cant even see the curtain     |

| Great pictures Joe  A lot of people know im a huge fan of natural light when taking pictures  When i took a lot of the pictures for the main TIG in the summer of 2009 i used an old 5 Mega Pixel digital camera with no optical zoom just the crappy digital zoom. Thankfully it had good maual macro settings so iuse the with natural light followed by a bit of photoshop work as needed to get the results i could use. I cant wait until Xmas day im finally getting a new Camera and when i start taking new weapon pictures for the site i will defo be utilising a natural light set up  I must admit though getting pictures of MOC's in Acrylic is a nightmare the cases are just so reflective!

| The shots turned out great, Joe. Even the ones in the acrylic turned out fine, not much reflection on them. |
