I ended up getting two clearance desk lamps from Lowe's recently and two daylight 100w replacement bulbs from Kroger for the lighting, and that made a big difference. The backdrop took some experimenting, the one I used in those two pictures I got today, it's upholstery velvet I bought from Amazon($12 shipped). I had to remove some dust from it(and put it in the dryer for five minute to remove creases) and remove even more dust in photoshop.

I do a lot of corrections in photoshop though, I don't get this clean a result just in-camera.

Here's what the raw image for X looked like btw(though massively scaled down to prevent Den-O from murdering us all, the original raw image was 51mb and 5184x3456pixels):

Hey now, I just try keep it so we can all enjoy it and load the page. Didn't realize I had a rep for murdering

Awesome!
What kind of camera do you have?

mine is old and just crappy enough I'd like to upgrade, but I know absolutely nothing about cameras.

Completely blanking on what I have at the moment Have to tell you when I get home. Gotta finish the Tyranno Ranger gallery tonight!
