Photographing your transformers?

So why is it that everytime I try to take a picture of my Transformers they come out blurry? Everything else in the picture photographs fine, it's just the TFs that don't show up? Can someone explain this phenomenon?

Blurry like they've just watched a certain cursed video tape? Because that's the most likely explanation.

They're vampires.

And they know the forbidden art of Metalikato.

Could be your camera.

Why not post an example?

Never had that problem. Maybe use a lens cleaner? Fingerprints could be to blame.

Focal distance. Switch to macro mode if the camera has one.

I've thrown out all the crappy, blurry-ass pictures. I should've kept them as I could probably of done something mildly amusing with them. I'm going to get a new camera and try again. Anybody got any recommendations as to what I should get? Should I buy a digital camera or just scan my stuff in? Any techno-geeks out there?

Hmm, are you using close-up shots? Then you'd need the room to be well-lit.

Maybe that's the problem. I just seem to get alot of glare from 'em. Next week I'm getting a digital camera, so...we'll see.

I second the Macro shot recommendation. TFs have a tremendous amount of small details that can confuse the autofocus on a camera.

I got a digital camera and the difference is amazing. Now if I can just find the twelve hours it will take for me to photograph them all.
