Seriously, I have found that lighting seems to affect how ugly or non-ugly Don and Judy appear more than it did for previous figures. Just my opinion, but I seem to get decent results if I use more "moody" lighting. Don seems particularly prone to the "uglies" with too much direct light. Judy seems more forgiving. Also, camera focal length. I usually use from 80-100 for close to medium shots and 120 and up for headshots or portraiture depending on the scenes. casamerica Is non-ugly or "uglies" a word? Hmm, guess I still haven't gotten over how smooth that registration went.
