ron~ : I have a reflex DSLR-A100, by Sony (well in fact I choose this camera because it’s a Konica Minolta, but Sony’s bought the brand ^^)

Sector6 : no problem!

Refering to the picture, nÃ‚Â°1 is a 12V – 50W halogen lamp, nÃ‚Â°2 a 12V – 35W halogen lamp. The third light is 20W CFL, which I think produce as many light as a 70W halogen, but I may be wrong about that :p

hey lu-k, what strength is the light u using, i think might a tad too strong though
you’re right on the space, i move my setup to my work table so that i have more space to work with and since it’s just next to my pc now, i can check my shot easily

Awesome! This makes me eager to try my dab hand at indoor photography.

Aya Kyunik : I have to remove all stuff on my desk when I want to go for a photo session hehe ^^
Enough space is essential.

Angelo : thank you! I love dark colors so I try all the necessary to have good ones ;)

phamolous : I’m glad that I could have draw your inspiration from my pictures ^^
And nice camera!

Belela-san : yep, it’s starting to getting hot, out there, and I guess even more in Portugal! To expose figures to sunlight for too long could become dangerous for them ^^;
Kan-u is a goddess! But I’ve never found figures of her attractive. The one which is coming out in july in white maid outfit is quite good though. Maybe I’ll be tempted :)

Indoor studio set shots are great but I kinda still prefer with natural light, but that time of natural light is running out since summer is almost here and I don’t want my figures to melt ^^

Now Sonsaku is great in this figure, she was one of my favorite girls in the anime but I still prefer Kan-U with her school uniform not the Gothic version

Using one lightsource with a diffuser like you did in IDD005.jpg can bring you a nice atmosphere. A face close-up of my Gundam lurking in the dark just popped into my mind when I saw that picture. Thanks for the inspiration, I will definitely try that setup…it’ll be even more fun now that I got a Canon Eos 400D =D

really good shots man :) I just love how deep is your dark/blue background on the last pictures. Good lightening technique !
