Are those the ones that produce English Leather 🤔? You know " all her men wear English Leather or they wear nothing at all ! " 👹 -
Except the "hooves" are too close together to fool anyone !

I would buy them also. Don't have an immediate need yet!

That's some eye candy ! I see an airborne rolling pin heading for your skull if the Admiral sees it. 😉😉😉😉😊😊😊😊😇😇😇😇

Hey Popeye, we thought maybe you ran out of spinach! 😁😁😁 Welcome home !

My problem also ! 🙄

Great job ! Nice photos too.

@CDW sent you a PM

I guess they don't like the neighbors next door. 🤷 😁

Interesting ! I have the camera with base lens, plus telephoto lens plus the custom flash unit. Now if I could just find 110 film and someone to process it (my darkroom can only handle 2 1/4 square and 35mm B/W).
-
Hmm ! Damn publishers! They want you to pay $1.50 per week to read one article one time. Get the same thing down here. Yes, I have seen that film is making a comeback. But now a roll of film is preposterously expensive.

I used to do this instinctively with a hand held light meter and a mechanical Pentax SLR, especially with nightime "available light" photography. I'd meter the scene, put a little right or left English on the meter reading and snap the photo and 95% of the time get the photo I was looking for. Now I'm trying to get a computer to do the same. Kinda like driving the new 2023 cars, you're driving a computer not a car. I'm still trying to master the DSLR. My brain knows what to do but getting the camera on the same page is sometimes a big challenge. I got my first 35mm camera for 8th grade graduation, bought my first 35mm Pentax SLR after my Freshman year in college where I also learned my way around a darkroom, setup my own basement darkroom 2 years later. Don't know what my kids are going to do with the tens of thousands of B/W and Color negatives and Color slides when I pass on, but ............ Oh and all the Pentax cameras too .......... I have probably the only 110 film SLR with interchangeable lenses (Pentax 110) ever produced.

Your health is more important. Get some rest.

I don't think that's the problem. The camera's meter is trying to average all the light sources together to get an exposure. The meter is reading the brighter white background and underexposing the foreground image. Likewise with the bright blue background, the camera is trying auto white balance the entire photo and the blue is throwing it off. Try setting the camera on aperature preferred mode, A or AV on dial, set the camera's metering system to "Center-weighted", pick any F-stop that gives you good depth of focus (f/8 to f/22), zoom in on the model and get an exposure reading, press the AE or AEL button to lock the exposure in the camera, zoom back out to compose the frame, then take the photo. If you're still not happy with the exposure, use the cameras exposure compensation feature ( + or - ) to auto adjust exposure, then repeat the above to take another photo.

Attn: ALL LINDBERG Model fans! (Test your knowledge?)

I built that kit also while on Charge of Quarters (CG) duty in US Army 1965-1967. The real W37 in Baltimore's Inner Harbor was stripped of her name, she's no longer known as Roger B Thaney, now simply W37. Thank the "woke" generation for rewriting history. -
Nice painting. Also nice lighting on the model. Grey is a hard color to photograph. Came out well.

US 6” gun by RGL - FINISHED - Panzer Concepts

That is a very impressive camouflage Greg ! Great looking model -
Sorry to hear that, Grant. Hope it heals quickly. For future carving attempts I would recommend a thump/finger guard like the ones circled in photo below. Most woodcarving suppliers carry them. Saved my fingers many times while I was carving figures

Nice job Sal, looks good and it covers the overspray 😉
