Looks like he's using a scanner for these.

No scanner.

The white backdrop is a lid from one of my storage containers, non-glossy.

I go outside in the Florida sunshine, drop the lid on the ground, and arrange the item on it. Set the camera to macro, turn off the flash, and from a standing position, zoom in and take the picture (from several different angles).

I think the zoom works great to cut down on the reflection of yourself in the plastic bubble. Getting the right angle is key too.

Hope that helps!

Really? Thats pretty awesome man, you definitely fooled me. I totally have always thought that you either had a light box setup or got the pictures online or something.

Really wish Bozeman had more sunshine so that I could try your method out here.

Today's haul at frank n sons

wolverine2281 · 03-03-2012, 09:00 PM

went to TRU to return some MLs and the Asst. Manager was working the CS desk. When asked why returning them I told her they were cheaper everywhere else so she said she'd match the Target price that i gave her, without an ad or receipt or anything. "win/win"!

they had no MLs on the pegs though

I did however wipeout they're entire stock of Avengers figures an MUs. It was a whopping total of 3 Avengers and 6 MU so I took advantage of the Buy 2 get 1 free sale. I'll return the stuff I just bought at Target

I noticed Target was $1 cheaper than Walmart and like $3 cheaper than TrU on their ML line!

Some DC Lego for my nephews, and Figma King Kazuma for me! My nephews don't get to watch much TV but when they do, their parents never show them anything super hero related. They love Lego though, and when they saw these in the Lego catalogue, they went ape shit for them. They had no idea what it is, but they want it. So this is my chance to brainwash them! Mwahahahahahaha!

Tiberius · 03-04-2012, 10:56 AM

Damn it I cannot remember the anime that rabbit is from. Awesome movie though.
