new model car build off

here is where you will need to creat YOUR OWN FORUM

http://forums.minitruckinweb.com/69/6209424/mini-truck-scale-model-buildup/index.html

you can all comment on each other's builds, but you most post YOUR PICS and weekly progress updates ON YOUR FORUM!

the trick is if you want to keep something top secret, you'll just have to shoot the progress pics around it and wait to unveil it until the last week, but YOU MUST POST 3 good progress pics every single week

sign up and we'll be finallizing this bad boy!

trent those pics are ok... a little on the soft side but they could work

what about this pic? is the quality good mike?

hey trent were did you get those wheels in front of that dodge from

kenneth, allow me to give some advice here so that others can also see what we mean by "soft" or blurry pics... if you look at the toyota it is out of focus, especially the front end...

now look closely at the pic and see how the stuff in back, especially the top left are in focus, or sharp? what happens is you're focusing on the wrong area and you're standing too close to the toyota... to fix this (in dummy mode, auto focus, green square, whatever you want to call it) simply stand further back but zoom in on your subject... then hold the camera button down half way until you get the green light (meaning it's focused), then click the pic... always take a few to make sure you'll get what you want every time

HOPE THIS HELPS GUYS! =)

also guys, make sure that if you downsize the pics and put them on photobucket or post them on our website, that you save the original HIGH RES pic because if you win we'll need the large photos to run in the mag make sure your camera is set on the largest photo size possible

that makes sense thanks for the help on the camera think that will help alot now i need to practice lol

you'll get it

can't wait to see what all you guys come up with!!!
