FlamFan - what are your photography tips?
Models.
The trick is to come off macro setting. When you get close to the model, most camera's will
automatically assume you are focusing on a flower or insect and go into macro mode.
If the front of the car is in focus the rear is usually badly out of focus and vice versa.
Try taking the picture from 2 or 3 ft ( out of macro mode ) in bright natural sunlight focusing
on the centre of the camera screen. Then crop the image and sharpen it. I use Google Picasa (freebie photoshop )
If you have manual control of aperture, stop the lens down to f5.6 to give a deeper depth of field.
If the truth be known it's all a bit hit and miss.
Proper size cars.
Many camera's overexpose a tad. This washes out fine detail like curves on wings, radiator etc.
If an image is badly over exposed it's very difficult to bring it back when editing. Once it's 'blown' it's gone forever.
I always under expose by one stop ( -1 on the dial ) and then adjust when editing in Picasa.
Hope that helps.
BTW some great little models on here.
