Still learning my way around my digital camera, but so far I have managed to take some good pics of some of my favorite pieces, so I thought I would share em if I could.

New motherboard has most of my PC problems fixed, so I finally get the chance to share my "babies" with the world

The stand is still a WIP but the crystals are pretty amazing, and I love em. I never thought I would have the complete Superman Returns collection, but I guess I am set until that new movie comes out

On with the show!

Also, I have had this piece for a few years now, but I don't think I ever got the chance to share pics of it. It's one of my favorites. It's a lab grown crystal cluster that is moderately huge. One of the only pieces I have found in my search for shiny green things in nature that ended up looking right at home in my "kryptonite" collection.

And one of the pieces I am trying oh so hard to build the "right" display base for...

C'mon! Share some pics of some cool stuff (and tips on how to take said pics)!

My tips? 2 clamp lights, fluorescent bulbs, a tripod, and a light tent off ebay. Set the camera to no flash and it really brings out the color.

Anyone else want to share?

Yeah, a light tent and daylight bulbs are the way to go. No flash! Bad flash, BAD!

Here are a few of my pieces. I need to take photos of some of my more recent acquisitions:

Well, nuts! I have loads more photos to share but I'm having trouble accessing my server.

Like most collectors it started off small with two Tie Pilots, a Stormtrooper and one display case. I plan on filling all the empty spots with helmets, then remove the busts and statues to put more helmets. I already have to make room for a MR Boba Fett on the way soon I hope!
