Re: Pics: Herpa Su-27s

PappyB - I love your photos! What is the reflective surface that you put the planes on? It's a really nice touch. Do you use a lightbox? Off camera flash? Do you mind sharing your exposure settings? Thanks!


Thanks Matma,

Believe it or not, it's just posterboard from your friendly neighborhood kinkos -- I'd like to try a mirrored surface one of these days....

I use a photo tent (bogen's ephotomaker), and a 500 watt tungsten lamp.

My camera: Nikon D200 and before that a D50 so the pics are from one or the other on the site, all new updates are from the D200.

I have a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. I shoot mostly in AP mode at F16 with custom white balance. Everything is hand held.
