            kinda wish the prize was 'and we'll print a model of your choice' instead of 'and we'll print the lamp for you'

            i mean, who wants a 3D print of a lamp? πŸ˜„

              Oh! This looks like fun! And they even give you the basic framework model!

                cheers d12, although I've had LOTS of experience photographing my architectural models at university. I had to learn by trial and error though!! and i came to the same conclusions as the tutorial you linked me to! I wish i had that link a year or so ago!! πŸ˜„ getting a nice bright day is hard enough (in manchester anyway!!)....always looks better with natural light i think.

                Its a white model, so maybe I'll go for a black background with a white 'light tent' around it.

                  Oli, are you pulling our legs? πŸ˜† Get your phone out and take a pic and post it so we can see what it looks like. After that you can take all the time in the world to compose the 'ideal' shot πŸ‘ If we have to wait for the ideal day in Manchester we will never see it now that Winter is coming on πŸ˜’

                    Not a good idea, try a warm grey for background, reduce dynamics I mean. And use something more decent than iphone. πŸ˜†

                        I had to pass on this one. After seeing the past winners, I realized I'm not quite that good yet.

                        Maybe next year.

                          I completely forgot about photographing the model.... 😳

                          Here is a taster (with my phone lol)....I will take some proper photos this weekend. Promise!! I'm so scared that I'll break it!

                          If not I'll just render it haha
