How do you set lighting for these great pics? From behind,blinds open in room? This is my problem the flash always blows out the centre of the pic.I'm using an 8pixel camera ,but I can't shut off the flash. Thanks for the input in advance.May be I will be able to post some good pics??

take a little tip from Click'n'Clack the Tapit Bros. and cover that flash with a piece of black tape

Hey Bob, I don't use any backdrop at all, I just point and shoot. You will need the flash turned off and use a tripod then try to shoot many times, to get the one or two you might wind up using. Also check your camera's settings for the best, crisp, clear shot possible. Whether you have a macro setting, if so, use it! Or extreme closeup or hyper focus, use one of these. Hope this helps!

Try taping a piece of masking tape over the flash.

hey bob....here is how i do it...

NO FLASH!..mike is right....tape that flash,BUT it should turn off some how???

MACRO FEATURE-the icon for this feature is a "FLOWER" it allows close up "CLEAR" STILL SHOTS
almost all digi have this,and with your camera being 8 megapixels it should have all the features most have.

TRIPOD-must have for tang stamp pix......but not needed for a foot or so away, unless you are shakey freehand,then just always use it...get 2 a real short one and a adjustable one that can go taller
you dont need 2 though......just helps

OUTDOORS WITH SUN TO YOUR BACK AND KNIFE IS SHADE FROM YOUR BODY OR SOMETHING ELSE,NOT IN DIRECT LIGHT!

FOR INDOOR-you really need a "shadow box" and good adjustable lighting,and bulbs matter too (HARDER TO DO )

macro feature AND outside,sun to back,item in shade is the real trick IMO

HOPE THIS HELPS A LIL...

Best Photos taken,outdoors ( deck,open porch,yard ect.)__ in the morning,as the sun comes up (first light)___no direct sun light___along with all the advice above ***
