Isn't there some kind of "I collect comics with women in red dresses" club on here? If so, that's a great cover.

It's almost as if Imgflip was in the image itself so they could get their attribution. 

Weird.

New photo setup with my cellphone, still fine tuning but I will post details of it later.  I was able to take some really nice pics of the magazine slabs I posted last week- Link

So here is my temp setup for taking cell phone pictures of slabs, I'm still fine tuning the process and will move it to more permanent location.

1) Basic setup is three pieces of black foamboard: one on surface, one as backdrop(spaced forward with a comic box) and one in front of the setup.

2) Place comic/magazine against backdrop

3) Put camera up to hole in front foamboard.  This hole is oversized as I was experimenting, if you are using a camera you can cut the hole to the size of the lens

4) Take picture

5) Crop and post!

This setup is temporary and not even level but allows me to set it up almost anywhere.  I should have the front piece higher and the hole more in the middle, I'll adjust that later when I'm not just setting it up on some boxes for a few quick pics.  It is recommended to use some light from the sides(if needed), I have some ceiling lights in that area that were good enough for what was doing.  This picture is slightly blurry as I was not stabilizing the cell phone enough.  It's a heck of a lot better than the glare I used to get taking pictures of slabs and on black covers like that ASM 28 is a superior image choice. 

I picked up some white sheets as well but haven't tried them yet.

Thank you GA! That’s some awesome ingenuity/creativity in setting that up!

[skypinkblu]

Very ingenious However, white won't show the colors as well, try dark/medium blue. I use that in my scanner. Makes the colors pop. If you can't find blue foam board, paste/tape a piece of blue paper over the back board.
