Monogram Me-262 "Red 17"

Are you stacking multiple images? I find that for small objects that I must shoot two plates. Otherwise I try very high f-stop and timed exposures…

[Gary Brantley]

No, I don't do that, Bruce. I'm not a photographer by any means, really; I just take pictures and cross my fingers! Richard encouraged me to set the camera further from the subject, then I can zoom in to get the image the desired size while keeping the background in focus as well, more like our natural vision does. Does that make sense from a photography POV? I may have messed up the explanation. I'm almost certain the camera was set on auto for the last two pics posted.

Looking good, Gary. You need to build more!

[Gary Brantley]

Lyle! Good to see you, my friend! Thanks a lot, I appreciate the support. How are things around the house?

A longer distance to the subject would really help! Sounds like your friend is a great advisor. Also the quantity of natural sunlight gives you enough light to increase depth of field.

I like that 262 to but I like that yellow Tigercat even more. That is also a very cool build.

[Gary Brantley]

He's been a great help with my photography! He helped with the outdoor, location pics for my M41 Bulldog tank and it was amazing watching him work. Bruce, did you get a chance to visit the links about his work that I posted? He built this custom motorcycle many years ago now, doing all the work himself:

Thanks so much, Remco! Yeah, that yellow Big Bird was one of my best models (he says modestly! )

Sorry I haven’t checked out the links, Gary. Soon…

A excellent build Gary!

[Gary Brantley]

Ta, Stuart! I really appreciate that comment, my friend!
