Looks great Chad, are you going to bring it to the meeting on the 4th? You've moved to the next level of scale modeling, wanting to take better photos of your masterpieces. For what it's worth from a knob photographer who hasn't had a fair camera (Pentax K-1000) for over 20 years, I agree with Jean, the background could be a tad lighter. I would love to get a nice camera to fool everyone into thinking that I'm actually good a model building LOL.
 

I’ll be there with 189 in hand!  I wish you could spend more time at home but it’ll be good to have you back for a while!

The model looks very well done, nice and clean, good canopy work.

I do think your back drop is too dark, it may work better to have a lighter blue with a little refectivity to help even out the light.   Being further away from the subject and using a longer lens helps to avoid distortion.

I have a lot of fun photographing my models.  I used to like natural light, but now I use my workshop as a studio, mostly because natural light can be so variable and I have too many trees in my yard that create shadows.  One thing I did was change all the workshop light bulbs to the same color temperature, 6000 Kelvin in my case but it may be more important to get the same temperature than any particular temperature.  It helps digital cameras correctly set the white balance.

 

Thank you so much for the tips!
