'66 7 Litre, '66 Fairlane and '56 Fairlane: Testing my new photo booth.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I made a new photo booth, to be able to take indoor pictures of better quality. It's basically a box where my new TV came (the last one I found with a tube. Hate the new skinny ones) that i covered in aluminum foil inside, and made holes for a couple of spotlights. My parking lot diorama is a perfect fit inside. Even tough, those pictures I took just using white cardboard as a background. 

What do you guys think? Parking lot dio, or white background?

I'm making a new diorama that's the inside of a 1960's Ford dealer, but that... Will take a good while to get finished.

No reason you can't do both Tulio.

But I would save the dio for outdoor shots.

It would look more realistic in natural light.

The white background makes it look clean & un-cluttered showing off the model without any distractions.

The only thing I don't like about my photo booth is it seems to soften a little too much hiding the shine of the paint.

Yours seems to look good.

Everything looks great!

Have you tried shooting a light-colored model (as in white or yellow)? You might have to go with something other than aluminum foil, such as a light blue.

Just a suggestion - if you can get your camera onto a tripod; try taking about 6 photos with the focus on different points. Then use some software like "Helicon Focus" which will take all the images and put them together so that the whole thing is nicely focused. As an example, here is my recent Dan Gurney GT40 done that way.

Welcome to our Forum!!

You know, that's a pretty nice idea. I just do'nt know if my camera, a very basic Sony Cyber Shot actually CAN take pictures with multiple focus points.
