miguev Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Isn't this guy a little too big for these bikes? I mean, his legs are a bit too long for these wheels. I do like the idea, just wondering if I should give it a try too :) Quote
MaxSupercars Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Miguev, big certain not because legs are one thing but on the other side it is on the edge that the hands touch the handels... So maybe he could be a little bit bigger... :D But it is not bad as it is... :) And you should give it a try too for 100% ... :D Post images then... I assumed to change the color scheme of the chopper to orange to match the color of Cody... Max... Edited November 2, 2015 by MaxSupercars Quote

miguev Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Yes, I think I'll get a Cody and pose him with my 42007, maybe on a different color scheme to match his, and/or maybe a speeder bike to his scale. I hope it's OK to post not-so-good photos so long as they're funny, so here's one from today: Quote

Zerobricks Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Well my camera sure got a bit confused by a black background and a very bright model... Edited November 29, 2015 by Zblj Quote

It looks like it was photoshopped in except for the bottom of rear wheel. Quote

Chrismo72 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I think it useful to remember that the background is almost as important as the main object itself when composing and shooting a nice picture. Daylight from a large window on a cloudy day, combined with a plain background will get you far. Direct sunlight is always very difficult, and usually requires reflectors and carefully picked background. Stay in the shade or wait for a cloudy day is my advice for outdoor photography. I use a DSLR and flashes indoors myself, because it gives me good control of the lighting. In the picture below, I used two flashes. The first flash lit up the helicopter itself (through a small softbox), and the second light was aimed at the background to avoid harsh shadows fro the helicoptr. The background was some leftover thick cardboard i used to protect my floor while I painted the bedroom roof. The cardboard was taped to the wall and desk so that it was softly curved. Finally i did some touchup in Photoshop. Quote

Speaking of backgrounds, what does everyone use? I tend to stick to the white backdrop that came with my light tent, but sometimes I wish for something a little more rigid. I experimented with some paper that is meant for writing with chalk (very dark grey) and it wasnt too bad, but it was still very loose. I looked into construction paper, but a lot of it is glossy or shows the paper fibres. Can anyone suggest something else? Quote

What did you do in Photoshop? Quote
ludov Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I use the back side of one of those roll-down curtains. It's not rigid, but it flows smoothly and it is length adjustable Also stores very easily, which is a must in my tiny house. This photo was taken recently with a simple Canon digital camera (no dslr or whatever; just one that fits in your pocket). Overhead was the kitchen's TL light and to the left is a window (although I'm not sure if I took this picture during the day). No post-processing; I'm quite happy with it Edited February 3, 2016 by Ludo Visser Quote

The settings are f/5, 1/60s, Iso200. Shot with a Nikon D3 and Sigma 50mm. I agree, the black details are to dark. At the time I thought it looked good, won't happen again. Photoshop work: Adjusted hue and saturation, removed som dust and dirt from the background cardboard, curves adjusted, added some vignetting. Nothing much really.

I am stuck with Iphone 5s quality pictures IMG_0086 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr I see nothing bad worth complaining about! The lighting is evem soft and the colors stand out very well and lively. As soon as I get a job, I will invest into some LED reflectors, diffusers and some canvases. Quote
