8.1 ) Photography Setup

Rudimentary photo studio can be setup with simple household items. Photos taken are sufficient professional quality for model documentation purposes.

Posters : Color posters purchased at local WALMART store for about 50-cents per sheet. Each color background balanced with model camouflage being photographed.

Desk Lamps : Camera's build-in Flash set to "Full" power usually white-wash model photo and drown out model detailing. Effective approach is to use twin desk lights, each with 75-watt bulbs.

This artificial lighting couple with daytime sunlight penetrating the room is sufficient for proper model photo detailing. One could also set Camera's build-in Flash to "Automatic" for additional ambient light exposure if desired.
