Presumably you use a tripod and incredibly small aperture to get the depth of field that is normally the giveaway on model photos ?? If you are asking me, I do not use a tripod and the camera is set on auto. I am no photographer nor do I mess with photoshop. I wish I was better at taking the pics.

MBM Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 As a photographer these photos really make me happy! Stunning models for one by the composition and the lighting makes them at first glance indistinguishable from a real aircraft. Amazing job and please post more of these!

ScaleModelHobbyist Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks for taking the time to update your original post. It was very nice to see these again (without the ‘photobucket’ graffiti). So many excellent models, the Hustler is one of my faves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Thanks for posting Rod. They are some of the best model photographs I have ever seen. Sunsets around here can be quite spectacular. I got lucky with the light here a while back and managed a couple of pleasing shots of an Airfix 1.72 Spitfire. Here's an uncropped version. I sat a board on the roof of an old Ford and shot away. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
