The IXUS is certainly a good camera ^_^. super rats, your indoor shots are great. Very similar to promoshots. What's your setup/equipment?

I was wondering about the facial shadows myself and next time I'll try it out. Since sunlight pretty much casts shadowns over the face due to fringers.

Next time pick a Sunday? Then I'll bring my Iriya along. yay. But my camera sucks totally. You'll laugh at my misery when trying it out. Heck, I laugh at my dumbness for buying it.

I merely used all terms to make myself look chim! Hahahaha. And I realized you use the shots I took for Saber and Rei. I want royalty. @Xak You can join us if you're not afraid of getting weird stares by onlookers. Lmao. Gasp! Don’t quote me on that! I merely used all terms to make myself look chim! Hahahaha.

It's almost enough to get me to look toward shooting figures outside. Almost. Zyl mentioned a reflector board. That would help get some of the shadows out of the figure's faces. White posterboard works well and since you're only shooting figures, it doesn't need to be big. Like that shot of Melissa -- a reflector board angling a little light on her face would have really made that a great shot. Anyway, have fun with your new camera!

It's hidden in the options. But well, can't expect much since the main users (and financers) of the camera are total noobs who use it for official work and want a very portable one which can fit in a woman's hand bag. Can't be ungrateful though. Ah but I feel cheated about the Z-2. I knew nothing back then. I almost bought the Powershot S3 actually. Almost. But somehow on paper it was great but when I got down to testing it out, I didn't really fancy it. May have been the really irritating salesman's fault though. According to Mr Art History Tsubaki, the building behind Saber has elements of Victorian, Corinthian and Byzantine architecture all jumbled together. King Arthur is from the Dark Ages lol.
