Just wanted to share my favourite three WWI models from SMW:

I think you picked 3 really good ones.

Beautiful! Simply beautiful!

Stunning. I can only hope to achieve that level of skill someday.

Love the Camel !

Hey Ben. Very nice builds. I would like to commend you on your photography. Love the light and the photos are nice and sharp. Would you care to share what type of gear you used to shoot those nice builds. It almost looks like natural light from some skylights maybe. Again, very nice photography. Wingman out.

Terri: the Ship's Camel on the ramp is definitely my overall favourite too.

Photos were just taken under the spotlights hung from the high ceiling of the exhibition hall. The camera I used is my little Panasonic FT1 (called something different in the States). It is a waterproof compact. For stabilisation I used my arms resting on my legs when I could. The shutter speeds were down to 1/10s sometimes, but the optical stabilisation is very good. It is one step cleverer than most, as it detects whether the camera is moving separate from objects in the image moving (using a combination of analysing the live sensor output and the movement detectors in the camera body) so can decide whether it can use a lot of optical stabilisation, or whether it really needs a fast shutter to stop subject movement.

Images were not adjusted for colour or levels, just resized to 600px wide, then hard five passes of Unsharp Mask at 0.2 radius and 100%.

I would love to see any other pictures you took there.

That Camel is outstanding got any more pics of that?
Thanks for the pics Ben,I wish I could have made it to Telford this year
