MuRm's Minis: Experimentation With Photos

Time for some more experimentation with photography. Like last time, these shots were taken in the basement of the LGS using automatic camera settings. Although this time it's Penemue's Ariadna instead of his Yu-Jing. The results were pretty varied, although they all fell on the lower end of the quality spectrum.

In retrospect, the reason is fairly obvious, and solves the mystery of how I was able to take decent shots of his Yu-Jing despite the very mediocre basement lights. Simply put, his Yu-Jing is painted in bright colours, and his Ariadna is not. What this means is that the yellow on his Yu-Jing caught the light really well and the camera was able to capture it. Even the gloss varnish may have been more help than hindrance, as it only had a minor impact on the yellow and black while grabbing even more light. On the other hand, the greys on his Ariadna got muted and blurred.

Penemue himself feels that his Ariadna is not painted as well as his Yu-Jing, but the real issue concerning these photographs is that I simply need better lighting to properly capture these darker paint jobs.
