Selling ship models
You want to sell
ship models? If you live in
Germany or in a country close by (Netherlands, England, France, Poland ...) and you want
to sell your ship models, I could
probably help you. You might sell your ship models to me, and then I try
to find a new owner for them. Of course, what I need first, are some good photos
of your models.
Taking photos
of model ships
Photographing the ships...
... is done best outdoors, not with artificial
light, in the shade, not in direct sunlight, in front of a white, blue or black background.
The photos are
best, if you do not use the automatic settings of your camera but
adjust aperture, shutter speed and distance manually. Shoot them with sensitivity 100 ASA
or less, highest aperture (F 8 or 22, depending on the camera) and in the
highest quality with maximum pixel number.
Adjust the distance to a point of middle distance, e.g. the main mast, if you photograph a three-master
from ahead.
What camera to
use? A digital single lens reflex camera on a tripod is best. You can easily
choose a high aperture without worrying about expose time getting too long.
Almost as good is a bridge camera (on a tripod) that allows for independently
adjusting aperture, exposure time and distance.
Small
automatic compact cameras may give pictures that are not as clear. They usually
allow only for limited choice of aperture or none at all. The distance, too,
often is set automatically and cannot be adjusted manually. Thus, photos are
often out of focus and depth of field is limited.
Best is just to try.
I need 10 or
20 photos per ship model, of the whole ship from all sides and several close
views of details.
What I also need from you are a few data about the ship
models,
like the length, width and height, information on the history of the ships, whether a
display case is included, what materials were used in
building the models etc. and of course your price for the models.
