Tried PNS many years back and it failed me epically

I always tot the rule of thumb was the opposite extreme will yield the best results. Anyway, I dun have proper lighting since I dun use a light box and I take straight out of the display cabinet. Anyway, will test later when got time again.

The DSLR sensor has a failsafe at 5mins shutdown on the D90 since that function is made for video mode so I doubt it gets damage easily. I dont think colour temp is something to do with the temperature of the sensor. It's the colour ranges is what you called colour temp. But I'm not sure whether if different heat ranges on the sensor gives a different result to the sharpness of the photo.

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 )

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

Yeah, the one thing that ticks me off about pns is the noise control. I went thru two pns. They served me well till my demand got bigger... muahahaha...

I still needed the tripod to shoot even with dslr because of hand shake. Anyway, bridge cameras and pns have came a far way. Those two pns were like 4yrs and 6 yrs ago

Quazacolt: The temp tat i mean is sensor temperature. Long explosure will heat up ur sensor and of cos it will effected ur image. U might try to take few shoot with 5 minute explosure and see. I bet the image come out will have redish or bluelish at the corner.

aquilaTE: Long explosure will heat up our sensor and heat can create havoc with photons and the sensor’s photosites. As the sensor works longer, such as with long exposures, constantly using live view, or during burst mode, it heats up and your shots will most likely include those tiny speckles you so want to avoid.

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 think you're still young. You'll own your own place one day.

Well, I dun have to worry much with color temps since I shoot mainly in RAW. I'm just not there yet with photo sharpness... I want to trick people especially friends that they cannot tell the different between a real car and a diecast... so far, tricked only once with a crop shots

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.

Ok. Noted on that. Cheers.

Btw, tiny speckles not those from noise?

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.

Yeah... been there, done that... all the best

Used to have a decent flash till it got fried.

Anyway, I'm planning to build a diorama that comes with lights as well so I can be like this dude here...

Of course, mine wouldn't be so bright like his since he's a commercial workshop and mine will be a private garage which will be so-so lit-ed.

wow really nice diorama you linked there

Yeah... that's why for now, I will appreciate as much as I can with the available diecasts I have with a good hand-made diorama like that guy has.

Now, need to fantasized the next year diecast wishlist in my head


Since Masterlaoda will be selling the driving Stig, I must make one road diorama too.

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

DING DING!! It's out!! Super elite's 458 with black roof..

honestly, aside from the leather base (which is actually synthetic one!) and the "MR/BBR"-looking box, and limited to 2000++ pcs, i still dun see any much upgrades..!!

Nice? Yes! worth it? No.. sorry HW elite, my fav brand (ironically)

Oh yeah... I hope it goes well. Do keep us updated with your progress. There are few sifus here good at doing that too.

please intro

I remembered there were few sifus here resprayed their diecast but the problem is, I cannot remember who was it... even bluehammer posted that pic recently, I cannot remember

Anyway, wait a while and they will response

GEEAMINO!!!

Yup. Agree with Lkwanz90!! We have master sifu geeamino.

Anyone seen this? A bit off topic as it's not car but damn cool.
