I can't see much difference between the two.
then again us old coots aren't known to have great eyesight. :-)

Those are nice builds. They look 1/18 scale diecast but those are kits are they not? What scale are they?
Nice job on both and great photography.

"a couple of older builds"... so they would be old coot builds?  Beautiful work, great looking cars. Sandy |

Calvin, needs a little bit more lighting, they look kinda dark Yep, I need a lot of other improvements as well. These pics IMO are about a C+ at best. |

I like the reflective base but (obviously) you need more contrast between the background and the car otherwise you can't tell where it ends.

Jordan I need some better lighting, maybe shine a light on a white sheet over my shooting area? I also need to be using a good Tri-pod I dont have one yet...but I will. I'm currently using a cardboard box.  I'm trying to copy Michael P.'s setup, but I'm finding that's way-way harder than I could ever imagine! LOL I've always had great respect for professional photographers but as I dig a little deeper into furthering my skills.....my great respect for them just got multiplied by 10!  |

Michael and Greg Randolph (sp?) aka Duke Cador are some of the best model photogs around these parts. I think you can catch Greg on RANMF or F1M.

Your work is AMAZING! The 1993 Lola is the sexiest car ever in my opinion. I did the Unser version for rFactor (a sim game) not too long ago (it's technically a Lola T9400 Chassis).  |

Beautiful cars Calvin. I hope someday to reach your level of skill both as a builder and a photographer.
(Maybe I'll even learn how to post them!)
Such a great model. I have only one (speedway version), built a Mario RC version when they were new. I think I have at least 3 sets of decals for this and have no idea which one to make - leaning toward Fabi's Penzoil car.
Still think that era has the most beautiful Indycars - maybe not the most interesting looking (no Mallards here), but they look like they are doing 250 standing still.

leaning toward Fabi's Penzoil car. You can use the Indycals Chevy conversion if you want to display that one with the engine cover off. Jordan |

And Arie's Target car, and Foyt/Gordon. Probably get some more before I decide! Clearly, I am NOT the Decider. MJ |

Same car, same maniac behind the camera with a bit more practice since 2013.  Sill need more lighting....trying to get the car sharp and background blurred....open wheel is very tricky to get all four wheels in focus. Unlike fender cars where you can get the fenders sharp with the wheels. |

I am not an expert but I would think that backing off the subject and then cropping the pic might be an easy way to get better focus while still giving plenty of resolution for a web photo. Maybe??
