Armorjunior,

Couple of suggestions would be to turn off the flash and instead use desk lamps or other lighting to illuminate your build. Additionally check your camera or ask for help on using what's called a "macro" setting, this is a little flower icon usually, that will help your camera focus in on instead of blur your model.

Lastly, if you are able to edit your pic size before uploading to a smaller pixel dimension (such as 800x600), it will make it easier to view on the forums.

Do you have the booklet of instructions? This should word you up on how to use a macro setting... Truth be told, the picture isn't close enough to even tell that it's blurry! Try again, and then we can have a really good look at what you have modelled...
It looks 1/35th scale. Is it the Academy or AFV Club?
cheers

A nice looking model you have there.
You said you have difficulties with your camera. It looks like you've got it focusing on the scanner(?) behind the tank. if you're using auto-focus, you could try disabling it.

Also, it would be more conveniet to re-size the photos for displaying online. Sizes from 600x450 to 800x600 are usually the best. They can be viewed without having to scroll the screen, and they don't take a lot of time to view even if you have several in your post.

Very nice work! You should be very pleased with your work. Don't worry about the pictures. Photography is just like modelling; you need to experiment with some different ideas, and the more you do it the better you will get. Keep it up!

Hi armorjunior. I wish my models were as good when I was 13.

To get the best results from photos, is to use a neutral back ground. A large sheet of white or blue paper ... even cardboard would do. Take the photographs in good light or outside and dont use the flash. The flash washes out your colours and any gloss areas will only reflect your flash. This appears to be what happened in yours.
Thanks for sharing and keep showing your pics.

Being 13 is no excuse for not being an expert photographer .... most adults cant master it either!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Armorjunior, Nice M10. Keep the images coming (most of us learnt by trial and error as well.)

Here is a smaller image of your tank. As you can see by reducing the size many photographic errors are smoothed over.

Ummm. Forgive me, I'm new to the solar system... :-)
Yep, looks pretty good! At 13 I think Matchbox aeroplanes were as tough as I went...
