[WWI] (no subject)

[Hooper, Dave]

Hi Joey

 

One obvious tip which I don't think anybody mentioned:- if you can
adjust your camera manually, use the highest F-setting possible,
anything over F11 should give you give you an adequete depth of field.
The downside of this will be that the higher your F-stop the more likely
you will need to use a tripod.

 

Dave

Guys, thank you very much for your advice. If I am silent for some time,
it's because I'm at the workbench working with the hands or the brain.

 

Jim, I will keep your camera advice in mind, though maybe I'm too early
in the game to think about curved paper backdrops. My photography should
currently be concentrated on shooting model parts on the workbench. My
concerns are about how in focus my closeup shot is, how close up should
I take the shot, and which would be the proper angle to capture the
parts. Whew, I guess this speaks of far this is from my sphere of
interest. I gotta start trying, and as you say, digital photography
makes trial and error less painful.

 

Paul, thank you very much for your offer of a spare Albatros p/e
radiator, but before I resort to using one of those, I was thinking more
along the lines of developing some method of scratchbuilding a radiator.
Maybe you or others out there would have some ideas about this? The
plastic card available to me here is not thinner than 0.3mm, but other
options for thin materials would be:

 

Aluminum pie plate material

Aluminum soft drink can

Paper labels (I first thought of masking tape as an option but there's
too much texture on it's top side)

 

Those materials would do for the framing of the radiator. Anyone have
suggestions for the radiator surface itself?

 

Thank all for reading  :-)

suggestions on how to go about scratchbuilding a wing radiator? How
would
you go about making one up?<

 

Joey.

 

FWIW I don't have the datafile, but if it was one of the standard
radiator types you could avoid some fun and use one of those supplied on
any of the current crop of Eduard frets. I have a couple left over from
Albatrosses, if you'd like one.

 

 

Tripod. Yup. That's a good idea.

 

 

Paul.
