1) Let’s learn from common mistakes…
Mistake 1:
DC’s direct flash is not advised… seeing is believing

Mistake 2:
“Haha, I know to turn my flash off, let’s see...”
And you use full auto mode with hand held… & the below pic is the most typical in toy/model forum…

Why!?
The potential problems are:
Household lighting is generally not sufficient, hence possible consequences are
a) a fussy pic because of hand shake, or
b) a noisy pic because of high ISO
As I am a hand-shaking guy, 4 years ago tripod is already my most important partner in shooting.
2) Tools:
To take good pics of you collection in economy way, my advice is:
- A DC (of coz)
- Background paper (very important- within $10)- I use wrap paper this time, it is cheap & no need to handle with care
- Tripod (critical!!!- within $70)“Ap Liu St” stuff is more than enough for little DC, & it is always the gift comes with purchasing your DC
- A mirror (I am using an acrylic mirror for safety reason; or a lamp could be a substitute)

3) The simple trick
3.1 Preferred setting of you DC
- Single point focus (critical! & focus on where you want to focus)
- Lowest ISO
- Macro mode
- disable flash
- Appropriate white balance
3.2 The miracle of tripod!
Not just because it is stable for long exposure time; the most important “side effect” is it makes you more conscious in framing before you press the button! No more casual snaps! See the effect!!!
