Re: Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat "Shields"

Don't know if anyone has asked this yet but what type of camera and set up are you using to take all these sweet pics? I see some real artisitc talent in your photography! Great Job!

Thank you!

I use a Fuji Finepix 3800 (3.2mp) approx. $115.00.
This is a real hunk of junk, but I've taken so many bad pictures with it that I've learned what narrow alignment of lighting conditions make for a descent picture. I have to adjust the surroundings to the camera. It's a real pain but it works for now. I have tried using a better 8mp camera, but due to a lack of familiarity, I cannot shoot as good a picture with it.

I use the built in florescent lighting in my garage with a 9ft sheet of heavy white fabric over a table. My big change this go around was that I used styrene picnic plates instead of copy paper as reflectors.

It's real low budget...Like me
