It has nothing to do with the camera angle. If I were to take a picture of a model folded from ordinary paper, it would be perfectly clear. This is one of the disadvantages of foil paper, it doesn't photograph well.

As far as lighting, I use a cheap white umbrella (free from the local newspaper for a subscription) to soften the strong spotlights in the bathroom. It helps when taking photos of foil, also.


FWIW,

Since I fell like being a nice guy today, I'm going to give show you how to fold one of my models!!

One-fold butterfly

Start with a rectangle of any scale, as long as it's not too long. Valley fold along the diagonal. Be prepared for a though ride. This step is very complicated and takes a few years to master.

Congratulations!! You have just made a butterfly! Now go show of this amazing complex marvel of engineering to all your friends, family and perhaps the hobo on the street.

I am sure that it is not easy to hit both corners of rectangle properly while making diagonal.

Thanks angrydemon! It took me so long to fold that, and only because I used a square.

If practice doesn't make perfect, at least it passes time! ^_^

I'm definitely showing this to the nearest hobo, maybe I'll even be able to get him to swap some bottles for it, or even better , a shoppping cart! :D
If you can't fold it, try a bazooka.

Yay! My exams are finally over!! Now I can get back to folding origami every day like a zombie and hang around the forums and drive everyone nuts!

Here is version 2.1 of my Bahamut.

I think I might have finally captured the essence of Bahamut's freakishly humongous wings!

Uhhh...okay, maybe not.

Here's my latest model, designed and folded by me for the Monthly Folding Challenge. A mama kangaroo with joey in her pouch! MC-folded from one uncut square of heavy construction paper.

Dragon Rider 2.1
Image
Upgrade of my previous Dragon Rider design. Now it has 7 horns on it's head and longer tail and wings. It has 5 toes on each foot and the head comes from the MIDDLE of the paper, so it's very thick.
