Put on some additional lighting & try snapping the pics with macro on. Incase your cam does not have macro, try snapping them from a distance & you can then crop the image so that the car fills it up. Will get much better results...

Loved the Dodge BTW...

The Hotwheels 1:43 Ferraris are now available. Just one word for them. AWESOME!! SIMPLY AWESOME!! And Expensive for a 1:43 though.

Edit: Would anyone like any of this?

Karthik1100 · 26th March 2010, 23:51

wow, ford GT is superb, i expect all these scale models to pose more beautiful with nice background and lights.

@Maclernroxx: Superb 1:24s, the suburu looks pretty neat for a 1:24.

I am glad you liked my work karthik, and i still dont have anyother len apart from my 18-55 f3.5-f5.6 NON-IS kit lens, so all the photographs you saw there were with this setup only.

@mods,
Please remove this post if inappropriate

Saw this car an hour back. The dash was home to atleast 20 scaled cars!
All cars were neat as well!

McLaren Roxx · 28th March 2010, 16:45

@Karthik1100: Will post few soon bro..

@BANDHAV: 1:24 MMs cost about 600 bucks

UPDATE: There's a Mercedes CLK DTM available @ India Hobby Center @ Girgaum. It has gathered a lot of dust & the box is in tatters, but i think with some cleaning, the car should be back to its shiny self. MRP was 1595 but the owner was selling it for ~1200 bucks. Since i already had one, didnt pick it up. Incase there are others who want to grab it, head there asap & if u r good at bargaining, you might get it for under 1k...
