Ett litet annorlunda bygge i skala 1/1

[SvenYoung]

Hej!

M113-bygget går framåt med stormsteg nu, målningen är i full gång, men mer om denna en annan gång.

Idag tänkte jag dela med mig av ett annat "bygge" som jag gjorde nyligen.

Jag har nyligen (i februari) bytt jobb, och som en del av introduktionsprocessen och för att nyanställda skall lära sig mer om produkterna som vi jobbar med, får man förmånen att bygga ett eget rödpunktssikte

Resultatet ser ni nedan.

Laser-inskriptionen är till ära av min 45 årsdag i februari

Tack för titten!
Sven

Trevligt bygge!
Ser riktigt rent & krispigt ut

[SvenYoung]

Haha, ja ren och krispiga får den vara - ingen chippning och nedsmutsning här, inte

aimpoint jobb lät ju inte helt fel det, skulle sitta fint på grisbössan den där

Congrats on the new job Sven. Its great they have a fun introduction like this, but Im sure there is a method behind the madness, as they say. What I focused in on, was the clarity in the photographs. I like how clear the "aimpoint" text is considering it is black on black, and also the fact that there are no shadows. The scope seems to be floating with no signs of it sitting on something or being held. Please do spill some of the trade secrets

Hej Per! Jo tack, det är ett mycket roligt jobb.

Frank, thanks for the congrats.! Yes, there is definitely a well thought out method behind the new employee introduction, no better way to get to know the products you work with than actually putting one together.

Thanks also for the kind words regarding the photography, no special trade secrets really. It's a method I have been using for a while with my models.
The light source is simply my ceiling lamp in our hallway. I place a chair underneath it (well, not directly underneath, slightly "behind" the lamp if you know what I mean).

I place a light grey or white piece sheet of card on the chair, and to avoid direct shadows which can be difficult to remove in Photoshop, I place the model on a transparent stand.

I am not photography expert, just know the very basics of it, really.
Camera setting is on manual aperture (approx f25) and shutter time (depends on the light and subject, but normally about 10-15 seconds).
The rest is Lightroom and Photoshop (but nothing fancy).

Actually, I would like to learn how to do some nice shadow affects in Photoshop, but for now everything in my pics "float"

Anyway, here's a pic of the set up:



That's all it is.

Thanks for the explanation Sven. Will try those settings to see how it goes. I like the ide of the trasparent stand .. must see if I can get my hands on something like that.

Hej Frank,

I forgot to mention that I very, very rarely use the macro setting. I zoom in from about a meter or so distance instead.
