    To all you "experienced photographers" out there, how do one take the best possible pictures of masks/busts?What type of background should I use? Dark or light? Any particular color (or "fabric")?Also, I want to avoid using the camera's flash as it usually washes out a great deal of detail. Is there any special kind of light I should use instead?I will be taking most pictures indoors, without natural light, obviosuly.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"Smile\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />

    I'm certainly not an experienced photographer, however I have learned some things from messing around on my own.I have learned that taking pictures without flash will cause the shutter to close much slower, if you're holding the camera by hand the images are going to blur quite bad. You need to light the area/mask up by lights inside your house as best as possible since you wont be using flash. Also if possible set the camera down on something when taking the pictures, a tripod or a table, whatever is in the same range as the mask of course. What I did was use a small table and built up books or boxes to match the level of where I had the item sitting, and took pictures that way. Also, if you're using a digital camera, it may have a scene mode setting, you'll probably want to set it to a scene mode that's made for taking closer pictures, I forgot the name of it exactly, and some other cameras may have different names for it, just experiment. Also use a darker background of course, you don't want to drown out the mask with a bright background, color and material is up to you, just nothing too distracting though.I'm certainly no professional, so if anyone wants to correct any of my mistakes or add to them, please do. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
