Avis sur le produitPhoto Art for Modellers : Creating Realistic Scenes for Your Aircraft and Train Models by Peter Morath (2008, Trade Paperback)

Falls Short

The author does a great job describing how to photograph models and then using Photoshop to add a background, make the propellers appear to spin, and how to clear the canopy. He also does a good job doing similar things with train models. These few tips are only the beginning and there is a lot he did not address. For the planes: how to light your plane model to fit the lighting of the background. Also he always shows planes at unrealistic angles--if you were looking at these planes in the sky then your perspective would be from another plane. He has all of them in a position which they appear to be climbing, instead of flying level. He did not address the relationship between the background and the location of the plane--planes don't look like they are really flying over the ground. For the trains, he does not address how to make the driver wheels, rods, and valve linkages appear to be moving, they all look like the locomotive is just sitting. He does better blending the trains and their backgrounds. If the goal is to show off your model, a simple background would do a better job, if it is display your models as real aircraft then he does not take his ideas far enough.Lire l'avis complet...
