Quite nice. How about some "overlook" shots so we can see your "all" of your airport!

This is what I need in the future: more FOCUS!!! Now I can't have pictures so detailed as yours... What I really need is a new camera, keep up the good work!

Hi NWO

You have some fine pictures congratulation with your new digi camera.

Hi Lollo maybe this helps:

One of the hardest points in getting sharp pictures is focus – I have difficulties in the past, my camera is a low-cost Fuji Finepix A303 3,2 M. One of the lacking features is Manual focus, and the auto focus is not able to focus on reflective areas …… not a great ting when we have shiny reflective models! I overcome this problem by using a small business card with horizontal lines drawn upon.
(My camera will only focus on horizontal lines in the centre) I just hold the card in front of the fuselage of the model, and then hold the trigger half way down to focus. – And then remember to remove the card with the other hand before taking the picture.

I discover that my camera was able to take pictures in macro-mode much narrower than stated in the manual (130 mm in the manual) but down to 65mm, that means a lot in scale 1:500!

Also lots of light is essential to sharp pictures too, I use at least 2x20 watt halogen lamps over the models.

Thank you.
I will update this thread when there is new arrivals

Owing to my room has not enough space (probably most HK collectors are facing the same problem), I could only display a herpa's hexagon.
