pardon but there's also a lot of lousy pics from years back

*EDIT
check my PC, there's roughly 1500 pics which more or less had been uploaded. Sometimes, i took the pic and try to create comic strips like this for Classic Grimlock

I have to agree Gema....you make our love of TF's come to life.
I enjoy looking at all the pictures, because it is a way for each of us to show how much we enjoy our plastic crack, but you give it another level.

Thanks dudes! Haha, the reason behind taking the pics was that I believe with proper pics, any fig can look good. However,the stock photos usually are a bit off.

Maybe it's my imagination but I think they're getting lazier with those things these days.

I'm jealous. I want the Botcon Mirage so badly. He's so sick.
He looks badass with the black surrounding him. I would love to get that seamless blackness for photos.

Although he's a brittle ko he looks great in both modes:Electrum Mirage

This is my favorite post on Seibertron's Toy forums. So many cool figures to see and lots of creative ways of displaying them.
Keep em coming everyone.

I Officially feel out of the loop here. I created this thread to see jaw dropping pictures like this, true.
But, how do you MAKE them like that? I mean, like Gema's photos, their PERFECT
My pics are always...less then perfect...
Can you explain how you do this, what kind of camera or program my pictures may benefit from? Thanks in advance if anyone responds, and keep the awesome poses and pictures coming!

Thanks for the kind words. I've been taking photos of my toys since 2004 and up till today, I still have not really achieved the results I yearn for. (My current aim is to take FrenzyRumble-like photos, hence the blacksetup.)

There's definitely some progress made throughout the years after trying out different techniques/setups/camera settings and changing of equipment.

Anyway, in a nutshell, it's a lot of trial and error for me as I'm still a newbie in using DSLR cameras. Things which definitely helps with photography:

- a steady camera which using means using a tripod & self-timer.
- ample and adjustable light sources + diffusing of light

Sorry for the rushed reply. Trying to finish my work at the moment so I'll just stop here for now.
