mpeltier Posted February 18, 2018 Share #676 Posted February 18, 2018 Bob, Beautiful work but your pictures are out of focus.

Please take new ones and also include some closeups showing interiors through the open areas in the deck and hull. Bob, It is indeed a beautiful model, and I've been quietly following your log. I believe the slight fuzziness in the photos is due to camera movement, not out of focus. If you blow up a detail, it appears to be more linear motion, rather than a "circle of confusion". A more rigid tripod or camera support, and perhaps a remote shutter release or self timer rather than a finger on the button might do it. Congratulations on completing a fine model. popeye the sailor and Canute 2 Quote Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafine Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share #678 Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks so much Albert, mpeltier and Richard. Richard, I'm sure you're right and I appreciate the advice, but I'm afraid that I consider photography as more of a chore than something that I want to spend time on. Mpeltier, for that reason, I doubt that my next efforts would be a whole lot better than these. As to photos of the interior, I have previously recorded all of the interior work, in much better detail than anything that can now be seen (much of it is hidden entirely, or almost so).
