Title: Re: Model Car Photos Post by: tkaz on October 04, 2013, 10:53:22 pm Wow, that is really cool...Crazy how perspective changes everything.
And you inadvertently solved another problem for me...I've spent the last few days trying to find a automotive air filter style metal mesh that I could make some lamps shades out of for my carburetor lamps. In one of the photos he describes the chain-link fence he uses, made out of 'WireForm'. It's perfect, exactly what I need! Title: Re: Model Car Photos Post by: Pixel on October 05, 2013, 02:49:27 am I wish I had thought of this. One time, I was sitting in the car at the local WalMart SuperCenter. I could look out across the street at the Home Depot. It was probably about 1/3 mile away in a straight line. I was bored, and checking out the Home Depot sign on the building. I aligned my thumb and index finger on either side of the Home Depot name, and supposed that the apparent span of the name from that distance was about 1-2 inches. I'm guessing the sign was over 200 feet long for real.
I never did anything interesting with this notion though. :down: Title: Re: Model Car Photos Post by: jholmgren on October 05, 2013, 08:12:09 am That guy has a fantastic eye - what a great use of depth of field.
Normally I try to avoid that issue by using the right aperture opening (f-stop) but this guy is actually using it to get the exact affect he's after, I'm so jealous!

Hmmm :biggrin:
