Photo Tips

When taking photos of miniatures, have plenty of light.
Get down low and up close to the subject.  If you do a lot of photos of miniatures, get a real camera with a macro lens.  Your tablet or phone camera won't do good close up work and won't allow large blow ups of the photos.
Try for interesting angles, not everything has to be an up close portrait.  Don't be afraid to go outside.
Here the photo is balanced by having two subjects in different corners connected by a road.
Use the focus to help show depth.  Not every photo has to focus on the nearest object.
Put figures in the photo but make sure you can see all you want to show.

Very good, Mike:>> For years I spent $$$ on 35 mm cameras and lenses to try and get decent close-up shots....>>all for nothing.
.......Now, with digital cameras, I am amazed at the shots that can be gotten... Everything has changed, in the 'photo of models world'.....now, my 35mm camera equipment sit in the closet, collecting dust.
