What's on The Workbench

[109ROAMING]

Actually about to do some more work on my High Planes Wirraway.

Essentially have to build most the interior work myself, its my first limited run kit with white metal, resin and sand cast plastic parts.

going to finish it in the markings of the Wirraway that shot an Oscar down on Boxing day 42.

Little tip on the pics Karl. If your camera can't cope with the close ups, take the pic from further away, so that you know they're in focus, then do the enlarging on your PC, cropping as required. Might not be the best solution, as limited by pixelation etc, but it will help, until you get a new camera!!

cheers terry i was actually wondering about the very same thing after getting told off by les and master jedi wayne

 

[Wayne Little]

it's highly probable you don't have super macro?...so experiment with some distances that can get the focus you want, your camera can take great pics it's obvious from the back ground being clearly in focus and sharp with the Corsair.
You just need to determine what that minimum focus distance is? Follow Terry's advice and Good luck!

thank you wayne

 

[Wayne Little]

I don't want to rain on your parade mate, enjoy what you are doing and provide us with some good pics!

 

[rochie]

no probs mate i do realise you are all just trying to help

 

[Wayne Little]

Got it in one my friend!

 

[Airframes]

yup, like to help. If it's any use to anyone, I was a technical rep with Kodak for a few years, first on professional photography and audio-visual, then graphics (printing/design industry), so willing to advise on basics. I'm a bit out of touch these days but, film or digital, the basics don't change!

 

[109ROAMING]

The only reason why my photos are ok is because my brothers really into photography so whenever I need some photos I just borrow his old camera and walla ,I've got good pics ,just put it on auto and it does the rest

anyone want some samples of my brothers work?

 

[Airframes]

Why not? Good pics are always nice to see.
