I have taken many pictures of my radios at various stages of restoration using a Cannon PowerShot S410 (4 mega pixels) digital camera.

For the most part I am very rarely pleased with the results. Usually due to the background and lighting, (DUH, what else is there?)

What is the secret?

Gary: I'm not an expert, but try this. Get a sizable piece of white cardboard. Curve it for a background. It should provide an amorphous background which will highlight the radio itself.

I have the same problem myself, both at home and work. I've had the best results by taking alot of pics at different angles and lighting, then I go through all the bad ones to find a few good ones. I think the new cameras are too complicated myself, the last thing I want in a new product is more buttons.

Simple but effective procedure:
- Use a backdrop
- Use a tripod
- Use the "time exposure" function to eliminate blur
- do not use a flash.....use any sort of flood lighting instead.

Here's a set-up:

Here's a couple of samples taken using the same set-up:
