Hippie Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) dr. cranky was talking about taking better pictures, my normal pics suck quite a lot so i tried to some new stuff. its kinda coold here, (actualy a lot cold) and i figure snow takes great pics for profesinals so i gave it a go The models a tamiya yamaha that i showed back in my first post. not a big deal but it looks nice. and with a bit of photo editing, first time wiht any of this real editing stuff and even so this is just some diffrent levels of brightnes and color. and my two favorite pics. Thanks for looking and if you have any advise id love to here it, also i figure the rest of you guys can show any experments in photography. Edited February 15, 2012 by Hippie
martinfan5 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I like the pics, good job, I want to take better pics as well
Kit Basher Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I think it looks great, Erik. It could work for one of those "Real or Model" things, except ... How did it get there? There are no tracks in the snow, and it wasn't sitting there when it snowed, because it't perfectly clean! I think if you could add some tire tracks and some footprints, it would be perfect. I don't mean to be critical, none of my pics are half that good, just a suggestion that might make it better. Keep going!

Seriously now, Erik, those are some very cool pictures. It pays double to build models AND photograph them!
Hippie Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 thanks guys, i didn't leave any foot prints/tracks because i wanted a perfect background not it being rlistic. the camera is a Nikon coolpix, and is the best camera i have ever used, theres no extra lense in use. heres another pic the same way. thanks again

Really great pictures, snow is great "background", but I usually make the snow smooth, and hard (as asphalt, you know) so tires don't "sink" there. But great pictures.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Erik, that's another nice pictures, and model. I wonder what it would look like if you smoothed out the snow.

weasel Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) i've been in Jacksonville in the snow!!! coming up from some MX racing around Daytona/Ft Lauderdale area, 1975 or 76... now last year we had a record, we were 72" above the std rainfall for the year, actually, since they've been recording things like that... i know, not a snow story, just shairing...lol i like the last pic of the Yammy, from above...

In that case, I withdraw my previous comment! I misunderstood what you were doing. The snow does make a nice background. Both builds look great, very clean and sharp!

sjordan2 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Very nice shots. But I agree with the comments that implied that the snow looks out of scale and should be packed down.
Hippie Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 well sorry guys i cant redo the pics with packed snow, the weather has finaly rasied above 35 almost 40 out, kinda bitter sweet no more cool pics, but mom will let me wear shorts again. well i tryed anyway swich the snow with water heres a few pics these were the first i did i had better shots set up but the camera's badey died. thanks for looking and sorry for draging up the thread but i'd like your guys opion.
charlie8575 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Erik, Excellent photography and some very nice builds, too. You managed to get the depth of field on those motorcycle shots so that it looked very convincing. Keep working on both, young man, and you'll be a master at them. Charlie Larkin
