[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Darth Santa Fe In my topic where anyone could post photos of super detailed engines, everyone pointed out that the pictures of my DASH 9 were too dark. So here's a picture of it with the flash.[:)] [img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/DarthSantaFe/Dsc04223.jpg[/img] Everything but the snowplow, cut levers and windows were done from scratch.[:D] [/quote] There may be a setting on your camera that controls for light - the setting compensate for low light conditions. Also it looks like you may need to use the macro mode - with the camera closer to the engine to pick up the details you want us to see. Aside from that you should consider using a spotlight to light the "shadowed" side - in this case the spotlight might point so that is perpendicular (straight toward) to the side of the engine. A clip on spot light can be mounted to your camera tripod and angled at your subject - to better light the shadow. A white backbround such as a cloth or white paper lined shadow box (which can be made with just a carton) would be good too. See photo - taken showing some of the techniques discussed.
