Title: Simple Smartphone Tricks For Miniature Wargame Bloggers
Post by: Leftblank on May 09, 2021, 10:15:22 PM

Last year I bought a better smartphone and discovered that I could make better pictures. So I collected tips online from different sources and share them in this blog, with examples, to help other miniature painters/wargame bloggers. My tips are simple, for the everyday blogger who has no professional camera but a middle of the road smartphone and who knows nothing about aperture or light balance.

Tnx for your comments! I made a few more backdrops for my lightbox and I like the effect. Below a Space Marine painted and quickshaded in 10 minutes, photo at eye level, camera, light, action, and shazam! the simple speedpaint miniature suddenly has character and style. Weird that I never tried this before. Maybe because the cameras were worse.
