I’ve had quite a few questions regarding certain photography shots in my builds so I’ve decided to make this thread to discuss various techniques I've used/learned while using photography skill. Ph...

Birds
Birds are one of my favourite subjects to photograph and what got me into photography in the first place.
Grab yourself a birdie to photograph assuming you have Pets EP. If you're struggling to find one (or more) out in the wild or the cage "stock" option doesn't allow you to purchase the birds you want, pop over to my Aviary and just take them out of the cage.
Once you've got yourself a feathery friend, place it in a cage (if it's a small bird) or the large bird habitat if it's a large bird. Set up the room with appropriate lighting and change the wallpaper to whatever you'd like to act as your background. The floor doesn't really matter and neither does the colour of the cage.
Little Goldfinch will be our model. Be sure to open the cage door.

You should notice the really bad shadow just behind the cage and also those cage bars.. Power up your "MoveObjects on" cheat and whole holding "Alt", place the invisible light as close to the wall as possible, making sure it's BEHIND the bird, otherwise it may make the bird too bright/light. If the light is too bright on the wall, shift+click the invisilight and adjust the brightness. Now grab the birdcage and again while holding "Alt" move it closer to the wall so the back cage bars disappear into the wall.

Much better. Now grab your camera and snap away!

Let's try with a large bird now. Since large bird habitats don't have any cage bars, you don't even have to go through the trouble of moving the cage of adding lights. Furthermore, large birds fly around, giving you a larger variety of interesting angles and shots.
