[quote user="cedarwoodron"]I wish Kalmbach would commission a scale model photographer who is an expert to do a "Basic Photography for Scale Modelers" type book, applicable to railroad modelers, miniatures , and other fine scale plastic modelers.[/quote] My memory may fool me, but I think Pelle Soeborg once wrote an article on how to photograph model railroads. Looking at the advice given to the OP, he now has the choice between spending close to nothing and a fortune on a digital camera [swg] However, there are some important messages in the answers given: Don´t join in the race of megapixels <ul> <li>Look for a macro setting of your camera</li> <li>Look for a self-timer</li> <li>Look for aperture selection (for depth-of-field)</li> <li>Look for a tripod socket</li> <li>Look for a quality lens</li> </ul> All of the above won´t leave you in the $50 to $100 region, more likely in the $100+ region. The important message is you don´t have to spend a fortune on a camera to be able to shoot good photos!
