I like the shileds! Very nice work there.
The urban bases are cool too. Are they the resin ones or are they scratch?
And it may not be the camera.
Try putting a sheet of paper or some kind of neutral background behind your models.
Right now, your camera is focusing on the background, that's why your keyboard is in focus but the minis are a little blurry.

Much better. Like your Templar force!
One last tip, if your camera has a 'macro' setting, enabling it will give you clearer close up pics.
Though you may have to put the camera on a tripod or at least a stable mount (block of wood, stack of books, etc.) to keep it steady.

Great work pal! The shields look good. I'm no great photogapher, but I'll give you a few hints and tips at the boozer tonight. For those who've never fought JJ watch out for Learner Dave - He kicks butt!

Nice models bud, very well painted, very well executed. I love the Forge World shields too, they rock!
Looking forward to seeing more :)
