Thank you I've known that i have to put my camera on a book or something but i never thought to put my moc on paper"ClapClapClap"so thank you for helping me take better pictures~~Tim~~

Very Helpful, but what if you moc doesn't fit on a piece of paper?? I will take your advice and use it. Thank you for posting this.

@Comment below: Thanks... My humor from when I was 13 was fairly dry. Not only that, but honestly, these pictures have so much film grain, I'd hardly call them clear from what I've come to learn about ISO and White balance.

Aha hahahahah..... ha...hah..... You're funny.

this helped me out a lot thnx ^^

i don't use. paper i use a white blanket one half on the floor one half on the side. hey want to sign up for my new CYOA? iff you can thanks!

Very good advice.

Very helpful advice!

Not only are the vignettes nice.It also gives good advice.I found a light that doesn't give yellow light.

thanks alot im gonna need this for my huge new moc

Thank you for the help!

This really helps! Also im the 111# to like this! Do you think these pics good? http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/231161

Gosh. I would like to give a number of people a link to this page. That makes me VERY sad. It probably does the same to you.

This is awesome. I learned to use those techniques after I added a bunch of MOCs so I'm sure if people look here when they sign on it'll help them a lot. If only I did that...

Do you know if there's a flower close up option thingy for VCs? I'm not sure how to get decent close up shots on my VC because I lost the instruction Manual =(

Yay, something directed towards people like me! This is actually fairly helpful!

This is really helpful. Thank you!

THANK YOU!!!

I'm surprised that the last two pictures were actually a bit hard to see...as in between blury and not blurry. What's the point of a Photo Improvement M.O.C. with blurry photos inside?

Oh man! this would really touch up my creations. Thanks A LOT! =D

that is very helpfuul im the 100th comment

I have remembered these tips to this very day... tomorrow I will forget them. :P

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I was really deperate.

Thanks!

You know, before I got an account on MOCpages.com, I browsed this site for about a year. Yours was one of the last ones I looked at before becoming a user. I took in everything you said and I thank you much. 5/5! ~Stay green my friends

I take my pics on the roof of my house!

believe it or not I take mine in the bathtub!

SO HELPful my lightings STINK!

thanks for this, i actually only learned about 3 months ago how to take a good pic :P

thanks thats helpfull cus i need to fix up my pictures

Hey, if you have time please check out my latest moc, it explains more about why I am leaving. See ya around.

THAT'S how people make the backround white! Thankyou so mutch!

thanks!!!

I will use this for 2010 and longer!

i used this in my newest mocs!

This can really help out. I keep on taking blurry pictures. Urgh. But I'm not sure if it'll work. Gotta test it. Made doing that same stud thing would work out. XD I'd add you already, so, I will.

My dad is a photographer, I let him take the pictures. But when I'm on my own, this would really help! Thanks!

great! and it must be hardfor you to take pictures from a small stud... respect!

Great job, I'm glad someone knows how to take pictures. ;)

good job on the tips. It can be useful to use a tripod also at times. Also, if you don' t have a good zoom setting it is sometimes easier to zoom out, get a good shot and then zoom in using a program or directly on your camera. Check my stuff out too.

You are the ONLY reason I have awesome pictures now.I take my pictures in the kitchen.You live!

Yes, still grounded -_- Also, no, I haven't started drawing and.. I don't want to. You see, it's YOUR character, so YOU draw it. You can't just assume that you can't draw a wolf. i know you can. You just need to try. To help, get a reference picture and base your drawing off of that. C'mon. At least try. :D

(Awe was being sarcastic, that's why he put this link :P) Heber! YOU'RE ALIVE!

Hey Heber. Where ya been? I've been waiting to hear from ya all week. So. You still grounded? Anyway. That's beside the point. Have you started on my Wolf drawing yet? I'm asking too many questions aren't I? THAT WAS THE LAST QUESTION!

Lol. Thanks.. Anyway, I don't think any of them are blurry. Well, except for the ones that are on purpose.

thanks man that helped alot

Great tips, I take my pics in a room that has no windows but has some see through colombian-roof-thing that sunlight can shine through, that room also has a white light and it works almost as good.

Hmm... A few pics of yours look a bit blurry. But I think this can help: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/151857

Good Job!! I hold mine and it comes out ok then, again i have steady hands

thanks dude this helped alot!

Okay. Hey dude... I'm on my Wii typing this! :D

Heber. Check out my re posted ODST drawing.

What I do, is I get the white sheet, open the windows, and turn on a light so it looks like the sun is shining in. I do that for out door creations.

good point. My MOC's are so tall though that I need to use a sheet hanging on the wall, but same idea. Interestingly, I read somebody else's post on there and he takes all of his pictures at night, but uses a lamp for direct lighting so that he can control the shadow angles, giving his vignettes a more realistic lighting and perspective.

thanks for the advice herber. I just used it on a moc's pictures and they turned out perfect!

Lol good advice!

Maybe. I dunno, I'm busy with school and other projects. I'll probably get around to it eventually.

hey r u gonna post parts 5 and 6 for ur comic

That's why I use several papers sheets at once. Or a huge one.

Great tutorial! I try to use natural light in all of my shots, and I would love to use paper but most of my creations are too big >.<

Nice. I love the vig.

i already have a ton of good equipment for this and i already do all of these things but this is helpful to people who don't know this. good job.

my dads a photographer so i kinda already new MOST of this stuff but this is VERY helpful to people who do take blurry pictures.great job on explaining perfectly.

Could you check out my "How To"? Here: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/153580

Hey thanks! I figured out a while ago that I needed to take pictures is natural light. However I just took them on my sidewalk. Recently I have been considering using a white background, but I wasnt sure what I needed to use. Also, I have a question, should I continue to take these outside, or just by a window? I also never new the need for stabilization, allso I always figured I needed a fancy tripod, Ill try using boxes. Even without the stabilization I eventualy got it right, but it took me forever! Like I said, thanks. =)

That were some very useful tips, however, I always use a webcam which makes the pictures blurry. I have done all of the steps but it never seems to get out clean. I think it's just that I have a webcam, but then I still need tips on what new camera to get, and how to upload the pictures to my computer. I hope you can help me with that too, 'cos I am really having problems making good pictures. ~Thanks

oke doke will do

Thanks Heb!

good job ive been using my room lights all yellow that 3 and a blue light on a helmet i got at the grand cavers. not cool. if you check mine youll see.

I do all of this, (Natural lighting, book support, no flash, macro focus) though I learned all it the hard way, trial and error. Thanks for posting this, it's a real problem on MOCpages. :D

thanx for the tip, i'll try it on.

Odd, I rarely use a tripod or a stand for my photo's and they generally come out very clean... Maybe I'm just that good? But yes, rooms with windows help. I like to take pictures outside on sunny days though, it really brings out the color in the plastic somehow.

Thanks for the tips!

as said before, this really helps. could you possibly look at a technique i made? http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/152039 i used what you said here! :D (well except for macro, turns out my camera doesn't have it :()

Nice Heber. I just got back from a campout. So I have ALOT of stuff to catch up on.

Yea, all my pics are horrible. The new MOCs i haven't posted have been taken aroud when the sun is the highest, i'm in a room with windows opposite side to each other, i usually take pictures in a corner, or sometimes in the middle where the light is the highest.

Great,Heber all the way!!!

Great techniques man! Thanks for the great advice and nice job on this well put together MOC. -Dylan

i like the use of a minifig nice!

I'm not mad.

Huzzah!

In about 15 mins I'll have mah comic posted, just to let you know...

I am going 2 make a new Spartan out of previest minifigs i posted.

Commented.

I posted a MOC.

I'm glad you posted this for the people that don't know this technique,I had already used this technique a little bit.

This can help a lot, I usally take 15-30 minutes taking pictures! thanks heber :)

Also, i was wondering if you could send me the main pic of oran, i was GOING to put it on my wall, so Please?

SWEET! awsome tip!

Lol. Oh. Cool. Let me know when it's up!

Look at my Post Apic ride.

Sort of,my mom gave it to a shop and got rid of it. :D Im gonna post a moc in later.

Gee, that's not good. Lol. You get it fixed?

Cool,I wasnt on for the past few days caus my computer got a virus.

Steef de Prouw got MOTD today. And thanks!

Nice MOC Jason,I would have been on sooner but I just came back from a football game for the rememberance of 9-11.Did anyone get MOTD while I was gone?

Yeah I sorta figuered this out my self but... Anyway, I'll use the paper idea... so thnks! Also, if you put the camera on timer, its even steadier and clearer!

nice! and also the little flower is sometimes called "macro". :) that is really helpful heber thanks for making it!

cool ! thnx for the tips !!! and nice dioramas

ooh, nice job. Although you are missing a few elements to great photo taking. Yes, I understand how frustrating it is to look through countless pages of poor photos, and it's great to make a little tutorial on it. I myself just can't seem to get great pictures. If you check out my page you can tell that the lighting is bad, and that some older pictures were off-center. But some things that you could add would be hints to get great lighting. Everyone on the site could use that help!

I find that comment relatively insulting. As you seem not to care about the creation, and merely the fact he commented.

oh my goodness sean kenney commentted hey sean can u pleeeeease comment on at least on of my things please it would be an honor

OMG!! your fern is partly bent!! :O disfigured lego! ~sirens start balling~ go go men! this is not a drill! lol. XD sorry if this comment bugs you.. just thought it was funny.

Thanks! I'll be posting more tips in the future. Such as, tips on making clones, dioramas, vignettes, etc. I'll join the forum too. Again, thanks.

This is great! (And really cute.) I hope you don't mind, I added it to the MOCpages help forum http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/2600 so that many people can benefit from your wisdom. :)

Hey ask your mom or dad if you can get a Facebook.

Hey, Heber? How do my pictures look at SBSY? I have set mine up on a baseplate. Is that good or not?

You were probably somewhat expecting me to reply. So, here you go. Thanks!

Good job, Heber! I'm sure this will be helpfull to alot of people. I really like those vignettes! :)

Ok, gotta give it to ya. That vig was well done and you taught a good lesson with it. Not bad padawan... not bad at all. ~ Chris.

Sweet, I've been doing all those things! The only thing you have to use your hands for is overview shots though. Thanks for the tips!

Oh. You should get one. I do. If you do look me up. Hey I just added a picture of me in real life on my sig-fig.

It's not a button. Again, ask your parents or something. It's hard to explain. Sorry.

really helps thanks heber i cant take pics right

i was look for help on this... thanks! good set btw. and i cant find the flower icon? where would it be?

No. But I'm thinking about getting one.

Cool! At fisrt, the yellow light was my problem. Could you comment on my Warthog?

Hey Heber.! Do you have a Facebook?

Sweet. I don't think it will though. Phaze might.. :[

Thanks for doing this. I already know how. I just hope people look at this. Nice vig.

Heber i created a site in case Mocpages goes bye,bye link: http://members.webs.com/MembersB/editAppPage.jsp?app=members&path=%2F%3FpostAdd%3D1%26title%3DPage%2520Members#members/membersList
