François SAEZ Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Still wonder what is the best: the items, the way you display them or your skills to shoot photos .......probably a mix of the 3 and here is the result, many thanks, it is refreshing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 And very nice to see an authentic Glider badge. The way you photograph helps to explain (sadly) to many people why the one(s) they have bought are copies. Nice to see the real deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 How do make such sharp photos? Is this even possible with a regular 5.0 digital camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattle Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm using a Sony DSC H1. It's a 5meg, superzoom, digital camera.The lightning should be also right. For the last pics, i've been using a sheet of high quality, white photopaper as a background.Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
