Default RE: Best scale photo!

ORIGINAL: sebo

He's gonna get you on the weeds and the power lines. This thread is not so much about model aircraft as it is about photography skills. It is just that the creator has chosen model aircraft to be his main theme instead of something like cars or trucks. It sure does get a lot of activity.
Sebo, This thread is EXACTLY about model AIRCRAFT, which is why you find this thread in the " RC Scale Aircraft" section of RCU. This thread(which "most" people "get")) is about taking a picture of an accurate miniature reproduction(SCALE model) and making it look (through good photography) as if it(the aircraft) were "the real thing".
In this thread, there are some pictures
In this thread, there are some pictures of models.
In this thread, there are some pictures of really nice models.
In this thread, there are some really nice pictures of some really nice models.

NOW HERE'S THE DIFFERANCE!!!

In this thread, there are some GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS of some GREAT MODEL AIRCRAFT.
Meaning... I can't tell if that's a picture of "REAL" airplane, or a picture of a GREAT model because of two things.
1) The photograph is nicely done. i.e. exposure, composition, ect.
2) The model is an accurate reproduction of the "REAL" aircraft.

Sometimes... Things aren't so complicated if we take the time to read the directions. But then again, we're guys... and when all else fails, read the directions.
