how do you do it??
get a camera is the first thing !

Quote:
should i use a normal camera or a digital one??
another question-do you just want to post on the net or make hard photographs ?
if you just want to post on the net a digital is all you need,if you want real photos from a digital you'll need a photo maker to go with the camera $$$$$$$$ or take a floppy disc to a film developer to make prints

If you just want to make photographs a film camera is all you need...but
to put photos on the net you'll need to back to the film developer and have them put you're pix on a CD or get a scanner !

Quote:
should i enable the MACRO function??
you only need "macro" for extreme close ups with a digital camera !
a "portrait kit" is good for a 35mm SLR camera when taking close ups



Quote:
how do i get rid off the reflections off the sun in the paint??
move the camera around until the reflection is gone or use a graphics program on the computer to remove the reflections

Quote:
should i use mirrors to produce backlight, and if the answer is yes, how do i place them??
mirrors cause too much light focused in one place, there are refelctors
to light up the area or a white bed sheet is good
Another good point is lighting,you should use photogrphic lights for lighting up the subject
Flourescent light can cause a greenish tint in the photo's.
Incandescent lights can cause a yellowish tint in the pix.

lastly,find a forum or club dedicated to photography it will be helpful.
