Try taking the photo from a little further back to allow the camera to focus on the entire scene. The photo should be of a high enough quality that you can clip it down to a good size and still have a good image.

I know that some people swear by taking photos in the sunlight, but I can't do it, it makes the shadows too harsh (that might be a result of the harsh sunlight in this part of the world). Having multiple indirect sources of illumination can also help.

Cheers

Thanks, I´ll try that,
cheers

Anyway, got myself a camera :cheers: :jumping: :occasion: :beer: :camera:

A Kodak EasyShare C613, 3x zoom, 6.2 megapixel, downprized from € 119,- for only € 39,-

Now to learn to make photos... :oops:


Protip: Get a little tripod too. Makes a big different when you're shooting close up.

Something like this Maurice:

But with more details and more information. I think we have some good examples in work in progress:

or this one

Oh and sander has some good ones on the Hat site.

One thing is for certain, if you want to this good, it will take a lots of work.

Anyway, yeah, that's what I mean, and yeah, there are plenty examples already :tongue:

Kiwi,

Tripod is a good idea :thumbup:
