Pin-up Lancaster

[Guest]

Mike I keep coming back to look as I am building a Lancaster.

What interest me is that not only is the model one of the best I have seen ( in my very humble opinion) but the photography is top notch stuff.

Could you let us in on what camera you used & what settings ? What lense. How far away from the model. How you lit the model & how you set up the model, back ground etc.

It's plainly a masterpiece! I dream to get to that level in only a few decades. Keep us all inspired! beers and cheers.

Thanks Laurie. The model was built 3 years ago so I don't remember all of the details but the EXIF data tells me I used my 28-105mm lens on my Canon Digital Rebel, 1.6 sec exposure at f.22. I used two lights with reflectors and diffusers, set either side of the backdrop (which is just a sheet of grey paper curving upwards and pinned to the wall). Camera was set on a tripod. The Canon allows me to set a manual white balance so the colour of the lighting wasn't an issue. Hope that helps.

Thanks Mike for taking the time.

Thought that it must be a long exposure as there is so much detail. Trained in video work but although allied found that still photography is a near totally different expertise.
