hal9000 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Love the 51 spanner. I got all my 0's out with my 0D and this shot just kinda happened. Was flipping through the pics mostly of the 0D and there was this gem. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Nice poses Hal. Nice paint scheme on that SV-51. Quote
lancalot Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Man that nora 51 looks really good..... and that scheme is awesome too Hal..!! make my ivan 51 look so plain and lonely .... Quote
spanner Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Great photo Hal! Looks like I'll have to get Ivanov and the CF SV-51 now.. Quote
Doublepush Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I've uploaded both of these pics before but I've done some minor photo editing for the first time. Nothing major, used the stock photo app on android to do it, so hopefully the quality translates to a larger screen. I know they got kind of artifacty on my Facebook. Looking for honest criticism so I can try to keep improving Quote
hal9000 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I was digging through old HDDs and I found a few gems. I posted some if these years ago, I figure ill post them again. There my be more to come still have things to go through. And for some of the silly stuff. Quote
spanner Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Awesome pics Hal! Loving the Milia between the sheets shot! Quote
McFly!! Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Nice shots hal. Awesome pics Hal! Loving the Milia between the sheets shot! yup, real sexay! Quote
wmkjr Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) This is my new screensaver! I've uploaded both of these pics before but I've done some minor photo editing for the first time. Nothing major, used the stock photo app on android to do it, so hopefully the quality translates to a larger screen. I know they got kind of artifacty on my Facebook. Looking for honest criticism so I can try to keep improving Maybe the pros can chime in but I'm also learning too so this is my personal opinion. Are you going for the more dramatic look a single light source gives? I was just wondering because multiple light sources will get rid of shadow areas and highlight the valk more but give it less dramatic effect. Also where you place the light source in reference to the subject can make a world of difference. Play with the locations till you find one you like and go with it. Light color temperatures can also effect the pic. Most important is find what works for you and HAVE FUN! Edited March 15, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
derex3592 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Finally had time to try out my Shapeways Arm Weapon on a 19F....."you talkin to me punk?!" Quote

Thanks a lot, yeah I had my photo desk set up in a temporary spot since my lightbox isn't really big enough for the 1/60 guys. I haven't quite gotten the hang of evening out the lighting I think I need to buy two of the same lamp, the ones I have now are different on each side. Quote
spanner Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 so is there a "picture of the month" thread in here somewhere!? if not then it should definitely be created! AND this photo should be its first winner! Quote
Ryoma Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Hal9000, i have a quick question for you. Did you repaint your VF-0S? The white looks really bright, much more than mine ever did. I mean it looks really great, i was just curious how you were able to achieve such a nice shade. Quote

I mean it looks really great, i was just curious how you were able to achieve such a nice shade. That was mostly photo shop trickery, I tried to white balance of the valk but didn't like the results. I was going for that opining bond shot look for roy, so i need to sap most of the color out. so is there a "picture of the month" thread in here somewhere!? if not then it should definitely be created! AND this photo should be its first winner! Thanks Thanks a lot, yeah I had my photo desk set up in a temporary spot since my lightbox isn't really big enough for the 1/60 guys. I haven't quite gotten the hang of evening out the lighting I think I need to buy two of the same lamp, the ones I have now are different on each side. Close, I had a table and a white sheet and some black velvet. I alternated between two lights. One was a desk top full spectrum I used to paint miniatures and a old studio light but that's very yellow. And yes I love the harsh shadow look I get with one light, but most of the time I'm using a reflector to help soften it. One full spectrum and a sheet of white paper on a piece of cardboard is my preferred. and if you want to play use diff color paper for the reflector. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 These are some amazing pics. What kind of camera are you using Hal? Quote
Ryoma Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks hal9000, you did a great job in bringing out the white. And the amazing work you did on the panel lines makes it look like almost like an improved version of the 0S. Quote

hal9000 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 These are some amazing pics. What kind of camera are you using Hal?It's a old canon eos digital rebel xt, I think it's older than some of my 1/48s. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Wow, so I should be able to do fine with my newer snapshot camera and a proper set up. Now, to get a proper set up. And some scenery to use for posing my valks... Quote

spanner Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Lovely picture, those are actually the 2 first Yamato 1/60 valks I bought years ago, still some of my favorite birds to this day. hehe! your first 2 eh! cool! and at the time of this photo these were some of my latest few! This particular SV-51 has seen a few miles and im her 2nd owner but she's still in great shape and just a gorgeous bird to look at! I will definitely be getting Ivanov and the CF down the track too! Quote
spanner Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Adjusted their poses a little and popped one up on a stand instead of sitting on her landing gear.. What do you guys think of the Gerwalk pose with the winglets folded down and the missiles out the side!? I rather like it actually! I have to say im still so impressed by the Zero-D and she's quickly become a strong favorite! She has such a commanding presence no matter which mode she's in!
