Reproduction emblems: NEW pics (again) on Page 3 Reply #16 – January 25, 2008, 09:06:10 PM Try experimenting with your camera angle, maybe from more directly above the emblems instead of at an angle. I would imagine that you want the light source behind the camera, but with that much chrome it's a tough call. Do some playing around. You'll come up with something that works. Quote Selected

Reproduction emblems: NEW pics (again) on Page 3 Reply #23 – January 25, 2008, 10:04:54 PM The chromed piece looks like it could be pretty nice, but I can't tell given the pictures you've taken.I highly recommend buying/borrowing a quality camera and retaking the pictures. I know you're excited about showing of your new goods, but a bunch of fuzzy photos doesn't convey the reality of what they look like and gives a poor first impression. Quote Selected

Reproduction emblems: NEW pics (again) on Page 3 Reply #25 – January 26, 2008, 03:26:30 AM Because of the reflectiveness, i think you need to play with the lighting and darken your background. I take pictures at work of Calipers after Salt Spray Testing. The calipers are Silver, and white is the 1st corrosive color before going to red rust. No flash is the first big key to getting a decent shot which you did, and it looked better. Background helps a great deal as well. Try a black or blue background (darker). I use both when I take pics, and the camera I use at work is worth about a $1,000.00, and it is digital. I can take good pictures with my VERY, did I say VERY old digital HP, of course it may take a few tries, but I can do it with the right lighting and background.Lighting and background Quote Selected
Reproduction emblems: NEW pics (again) on Page 3 Reply #26 – January 26, 2008, 09:45:00 AM Thanks for the tips, I'll try again today.The metal is a pewter/white metal mix, kind of like hobby-store grade figures (think Warhammer actually). It's nice because it won't blister like pot metal and the chrome REALLY sticks to it. It's a little pricier, but worth it I think. Quote Selected

Reproduction emblems: NEW pics (again) on Page 3 Reply #29 – January 27, 2008, 12:59:14 AM True, but those are more readily available. Something I may do on my yellow 86' in the future.I don't think anybody makes the originals for the fox cars though. I plan on keeping the 88' totally stock. Quote Selected
