My Cobra Collection UPDATED

Post by Red Laser »

I have a big collection which I have no room to put on display as I have with my red shadows. I want to take pics but probably can't all in one go any suggestions?

Go with Andy's suggestion. I have no room to display the loose stuff either so from time to time I set them up on the coffee table and take photo's. Takes ages but it's good fun!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

that's what i've done as well. i've got 10 figures on display in front of my stereo and three on one speaker and then - as people have no doubt seen - periodically i hijack the kitchen table or just use the landing floor for photos of all of the stuff.

My flat isn't too big and doesn't have many light areas in it which is why my kitchen counter got used so much.

A table lamp does a good job for lighting, just need to angle it right and compensate with the camera for the
best effect.

+1 on the lamp and +1 on the dining room table. I've also been known to use the bathroom as it has a heater fan thingy in the roof and throws out shed loads of light. Obviously I can't leave them in there tho ;-)
