How to take a better picture
First a disclaimer: I am NOT a professional photographer, and I do not claim to be a hot-shot amateur ditto either, but....
...after seeing hundreds of rig-shots taken by various people, I must say that a brief "how-to" is apropriate here. Quite a lot
of pictures are taken point blank, with a flash! Hmm. Imagine that radio's reflective, shiny front panel with a flash, in a straight angle right into it. I'm sorry, but this does NOT make a good picture. If a flash is arranged in this way, you will only end up with a bright over-exposed spot in the middle.
When I want to take a picture, I arrange the radio on a dark surface, facing a window during a fairly sunny day, thus NOT using a flash at all. With this arrangement, I get a smooth, even illumination of the radio. Then I power it up to light up any display, LED or lamp. The picture is then taken from a slightly elevated angle to give the picture some degree of perspective. It certainly helps if you use a manual camera where you are in control of exposure timing and aperture settings. Use a small aperture and longer exposure. Use a stand to avoid fuzzy pictures. If your camera has a zoom lens, it's best to back away from the target and zoom it instead to minimize picture distortion.
