Finally able to join in with some decent shots.

This my friend is a work of art! Makes me want to get a second VF-1D to display in multiple modes. No way I can do that now with the Elintseeker coming down the pipe.

Your pic taking skills are taking off man. You'll have to share some tips or maybe write a book: Photography for Dummies...if it hasn't already been written. B))

Thanks brother! I will work on that book. I may be too dumb to write it though :p I am seriously considering getting multiples of all the V.2 1/60s. I just need to hit the lottery (or a bank) first.

Ouch, I have skills as proved with my great grades in my photo class and I've been a military videographer for years, and an okay camera but I know I could really pull the photos I want to pull with a DSLR too.

Well put up what you have or start offering some constructive criticism. We're a pretty closed bubble here so if you have some proper learning, please share!

And I agree with Vegas, skill and vision count for more than a fancy camera.

hey no problem mate :)

the thing about the model kit vf-25 is that its rather small..

look at the size comparison with the 1/60 vf-1j,

and ppl complain about the size of the 1/60 vs the 1/48 :p

most of the time i find if i fit in the whole 1/72 vf-25 body in the pic,

my cam cant pick up the small details (panel lines esp.) of it anymore,

and the pic turns out a bit blur.

i'll try to play around with the settings and steady my hands (dont have a tripod) abit more :D

You sir have impugned my honor and my skillzzzzzzz, lol. I shall accept thy challenge by offering these shots using my current camera in low light, since my office is lit very low. Enjoy and criticize!

try concentrating on the composition and and the lighting for now. about the blur, you might wanna invest on a cheap tripod and check the depth of field of your camera if its too shallow youll get more of the blur effect just like on eugimon's pics. so adjust the aperture if you can. the lower the f stop is , the more blur youll get.

yeah, just like in some sports w/c require equipment of some sort, if you really suck at it, no amount of high tech or fancy equipment will help (suck at golf - sold callaway clubs; pretty decent at badminton even w/ cheap bootleg equipment)... however, even if someone has some basic skills to begin with, crappy equipment will definitely hinder the development of said skills... i'd bet that even phenoms like Tiger Woods/Lance Armsrtong etc wouldn't have won as many tournaments/races if they only had crappy/consumer end equipment... well, MJ still would've won as many NBA titles coz his shoes were just for show and for making boatloads of money... it definitely did not make me jump higher or stay in the air longer when i bought those air jordans... :lol:

well, here's to hoping a new cam will bring out some skills... :rolleyes:

sure... but even a decent P&S can take good pictures with proper lighting. A good camera can certainly help to act as a crutch for bad skills... which is why I love my D90. :p

Your pics are just fine mate. We all need work here and there. I know I certainly do.

Time and Parctice = Skillllzzzzzz that kills :lol: It's true though.

Well put brother. And I will say that Vegas has it right.

I dig your poses mate. Your pics are a bit grainy and IIRC these guys were sayin that you need to mess with the ISO or something like that. I use like and ISO of 80 sometimes 100. I'm still messing around alot with it though.

well, here's to hoping a new cam will bring out some skills... :rolleyes:

This is true. But this below is my set up. Nothing special. I guess you would almost call it a point and shoot.

Yeah I know about the grainy pics, my P&S isn't that good when it comes to adjusting the ISO for low light areas hence I want a new camera. I have some skill in the field but I do want a better camera none the less.

yeah but mine is on purpose... you'll notice some of it is in focus. :p

It's all about depth of field, which I love when people take kick ass depth of field shots. It doesn't all have to be in focus, just the subject of the pic, and everything else can be a little blurry.

Just a few shots...

I know you're gonna be thinking..."there's no difference"...but wait, there is, the difference is the amount of light coming in. There is a .2 second difference. Any pointers or critiques?

first one is better

Thanks! That's what I was thinking as well.

yup, first one. Better feel of the material and original color. The 2nd one the highlights are close to being blown, notice how some of the dorsal details are obscured.

Yes..I agree..there's just a little too much light.

I'll contribute with my "half gerwalk" VF-1D :lol:

You weren't kidding when you said "half". :lol: :lol:

EDIT -

My latest 2 shots...
