UPDATE:

We should see the new discussion forum "Photographing scale models" in under the Tools, Techniques, and Research Materials category very soon.

Part one: How to hide the fingerprints and cat hair you didn't notice until AFTER photographing the model...

THANK GOD!! And thank you TIM. I don't know how many times I wished I could use a reference like this. This subject comes all the time in building and lord knows I could use some help here cuz I can build a decent model but my pictures SUCK. They always turn out like I took them in a dungeon and I've messed with about every camera setting I know how to. Thanks Tim and thanks to all who suggested it!

Hi guys,

You're welcome.

The new discussion forum is now live.

Excellent!! Way to get it done! I am looking forward to this forum as my photography skills are lacking and good pics have eluded me for some time.

Thanks Don for bringing this up. Thanks Tim for running with it. Just in time too. I'm needing a new camera and this could help me pick which one to get.

Yep, thanks guys. I think this will be a very useful addition.

Outstanding. Thank you Tim (and Don too).

Hi guys,

Don Stauffer brought this thread to our attention. I'm running it up the flagpole.

Tim

I would think that Tim or Aaron could create the Forum. We as members, cannot.

Seems like some interest, but how do we move forward?

Does someone at Kalmbach have to give the ok, or someone like Tim or Aaron?

I was thinking the same thing just yesterday.

Sounds good to me.

Count me in for considering it a good idea.  I've read some great tips...but it's one area of my "modeling" that I try to improve on.

I think it would be great.

Good idea Geezer!

Sounds good to me.

Jim 

i like the idea too

I agree that would be a great idea.

I think it is an excellent idea!  I do a lot of model photography using photo backdrops of airports, auto racing tracks and such.  I am a firm believer in sunlight photography.  Model photography is a subgenre of macro photography and takes some special tricks.
