hmm planning to collect the car from chia today at summit usj, hopefully work/COD dont delay me too much to miss his shop closing time

no a, im going to get a retro car lol. not R8

finally! http://twitpic.com/7iek0z

yeah thanks to uncle chia i saved over rm100 from shipping it from the US, plan to buy a display case from him too, a little expensive imo, however the built looks damn good, and can think of it as a thanks to him for getting it.

now all's left is to confirm on the masking procedures, sanding it down, and respray it to white

Added on November 25, 2011, 3:23 pmsometimes, youd rather not have a macro lens for controlled environment/"studio" (like having a lightbox) shoot as you'll get too many unwanted details

Added on November 25, 2011, 4:16 pmwhat blu3hamm3r said, and you dont even need DSLR, even PNS camera. use tripod will do, ISO 100-200 (depend on your psn/dslr, try not to go above 400 since you are in a controlled environment) it, make sure you got adequate lighting, and keep your fsop and shutter to what you need, not overboard it by f32 and 4 sec shutter

=edit=
for that picture, you will need to play with lighting already, not so much the camera.

from my guess, there are at least 3-4 light sources, with top light source being heavy good WB control too since the tip are using cool light, or it could be lens filter too XD

thanks. i kinda rather keep everything in my room, easier to manage/safeguard etc. and my collections consist of really f***ing fragile and limited (usually sold out on pre-orders itself, and never restock, only 1 time running/release)items, so definitely not something i wanna keep out of sight for prolonged periods lol

also, i believe the temp blu3hamm3r mentioned was the color temp, please dont heat up your sensor, you dont want a ruined dslr/pns lol

in comparison of a pns (again, controlled environment and/or lightboxes) and a dslr, dslr is MUCH EASIER than psn
why? much bigger sensor body is easier to take in light/image details

in laymen terms, for a pns, you're almost 100% needing tripod + long exposure periods, while dslr you just point and shoot (irony huh? lol) with standard 1/60 or even as low as 1/30 (IS tech these days )

Added on November 25, 2011, 4:47 pmi forever alone poorfag living with parents. so obviously the only place those thing should belong is my room

umm thats what im saying: photogs dont really heat up their sensors, they adjust color temps, not sensor temps lol.

1/60 or faster shutter with IS then no hands shaking issue lo, unless you have serious grip stability issues lol

the pictures from my website are generally taken via dslr, and with the angle some of those shots are, obviously they are just straight point and shoot. can refer to some of the figure close ups to examine on the details lol

i see, because AFAIK no one really does that unless they have specific needs (star gazing as an example) and even for those, 5minutes would only capture a load of... white trails lol.

haha getting old lo, ady lotsa people call me uncle (mainly due to my appearance, as i look old )
and atm not looking forward to a new place, planning for a car

well, you could try out those new tricks, hell, try some simple lowest fstop + 1/60 (just light up your shooting area well) and you'll be amaze at how far you can go. additionally, getting good flash (again, controlled environment means you can adjust flash bounce/diffusing well) is also a good investment in good photos.

wow really nice diorama you linked there

i just pray i dont f***up on the repaint job for my first new die cast

please intro

haha looks like thats what i am about to do, cept mine's a 300 SL, not sure how to handle the chrome parts/masking atm, consulting with a friend whenever hes free for the time being.
