I tried a few more at iso 200 to see if that changed anything. The previous ones were iso 80. Hmm interesting. As I can see you have limited options on your camera when it comes to manual settings, did you change anything on the lighting in between? The iso200 photos look darker for some reason, but it already started to get noisy in the darker areas, on the iso80 photo with rey's speeder does look a bit hazy on the other hand. Maybe you can play around with the metering if you have the option. Anyways it looks like your best choice is to add another light source, stabilize the camera and keep the iso as low as you can. These little Olympus cameras can get surprisingly good in the right conditions. Quote

These little Olympus cameras can get surprisingly good in the right conditions. The lighting changed a bit. For Rey's speeder I was on a table very close to a fluorescent overhead light plus my LED lamp. On the second shots the light box was set further below the room light but with the LED lamp closer to the top of the light box. I do prefer the ISO80 (which is the lowest I can get) but the light diffusing seems to have affected the exposures. Sadly, the only setting I get on influencing metering seems to be the digital ESP and iESP setting on the camera settings but I will try again and post some newer shots to see if that helps any. Hoping to get a second light this weekend also. Edited February 22, 2017 by Japanbuilder Quote

Like I said, I don't know how much you're into photo editing, but most of the shortcomings coming from the setup can be corrected easily in post. All in all your setup seems to be coming together nicely. Quote

I will keep striving =) Just one more advice, you might also want to experiment with the built-in flash of the camera - by holding a diffuser in front of it of course. So that can give you another light source, now I don't know how hard your camera's flash is, but it might be worth a shot if you find something that can lighten it enough. But I'll finish being a smarta... happy experimenting! Quote

KotZ Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Edit Jim: Please limit your pictures to max 1024 wide by embedding a resized version. Not just resizing them via the post editor. You can host them on Bricksafe or Bricklink to keep your original HiRes version. Or upload smaller versions to Brickshelf. Thanks. Quote

But you might want to dial back a bit on the DOF, especially at the shot with Han and Rey their faces are not equally in focus Quote
KotZ Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks! I'll definitely take that into account on my next ones. Quote
