Why you hiding the front?

[Jon Cole]

Hey! If ya gonna take pics... don't forget to photograph the front! I notice some finished builds... no front of the car to see?! Whatszup with that?

Jon, you talkin about how some of the pics bein kinda too large for the space? I've noticed that there's quite a few pics that seem to be too large for the space they're in. Don't know why it's doin that!

[Jon Cole]

Nope, I'm not talkin' about that George. If the image is larger than your screen can handle, just choose a smaller screen size % (bottom right on my screen).

I mean show several pics of a model, but not the front.

Don't be bashful, folks! Show the snout!

This part?

[Zoom Zoom]

I rarely do full-frontal or full-rear shots of my models because my lens only goes to f-8; I don't like shots where I don't have consistent depth of field/focus. Lately I am pulling myself well away from the subject, shooting telephoto shots of "front-centric" 3/4 views to minimize the issue, and it usually works well. Often I find when people take "fancy" artistic/forced perspective model shots to mimick 1:1 car photos, the photos don't look natural, and the shots usually draw the eye right into the flaws that the camera either can't hide, or magnifies them because of this style. I'd rather see a great shot of a model from a "modeler's eye view" than a lousy shot of a model from a 1:1 style view. Just my personal preference.

How's this??..................

[Jon Cole]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! And it doesn't have to be "straight on"...

Point is, gang, we want to see all five at least (left, right, front, back, and top)*. Isometric angles can get three of those views at once. I'm just sayin... some of ya are lettin' your old age catch up to ya!

PS- chassis shot is just iceing on the cake!
