eFX ANH DARTH HELMET SAMPLE!!
- Thread starter GINO
- Start date
I can't speak to this in terms of the Vader helmet, but I can tell you this happens ALL THE TIME in this hobby. We now have such nice cameras that can focus on such small areas and we blow those images up on HUGE monitors and scrutinize to death all these little details that when we see an item in real life, we are expecting those details to be HUGE and very prominent and we fail to keep in mind that we have essentially been looking at those details through a microscope for YEARS and they are big in our minds, but in reality, they barely even register. I have seen this over and over again, especially with the Boba Fett costume. We are now taking 21 megapixel photos of a detail that is less than an inch long... and then we wonder why those details don't jump out at us in real life... :lol
PS. This is especially true of found parts. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten in a found part and thought it was too small because on my screen, I have been looking at it for years zoomed in (making it more than a foot long in the monitor). When I get it in person and the pieces is only two cm long it just looks weird.

If you guys have any angle that you want taken, lmk, got all day today!
I for one would just love to see more of the side tube details. Especially the underside, on the right. It seems to be the mother load area of detail with this helmet.
This happens to me all the time.

Bigturc, how are the straps on the sides attached to the mask interior?

That's one of the best ones I've seen yet. All the "crap" on the helmet is actually supposed to be there. That is a nice helmet, nice finish and nice paintjob. Well done!!!!

I would like to see a picture of each persons c scar to see how close to being the same they are.
Ok, those photos are starting to show some real detail now under that paint. Good. Stop down the aperture a bit more and use a tripod (most lenses are optimal around f/5.6 in terms of resolution, it looks like you are shooting wide open). I'm seeing more detail on the nose area, Vader's left side, a few details that I know show up if there isn't too much cleanup. Also I'm starting to see detail on the front faces of the cheeks, and sides of the mouth triangle. This is starting to look better. But we'll need much better photos.

NOTE that I just noticed there's a magnet in there, somewhere, probably around the peak as it sticks big time and there's some velvet too to protect the nose from getting scratched.
Here's a shot of the right tube DS. Not too sure what you want to see .. but it's much too rocky in there!
Thanks, very happy! :thumbsup
Thanks Hedjii!!! See you around bud!

SL, I'm shooting at f4 or f4.5 on a f/2.8L lens. I might do another session tomorrow when it's full day light. I stepped down the ISO to 400 to make sure not to lose too many details .. and yeah, I could always setup a tripod, but I'm not paid enough to do so yet! This is only a 20D (8MP) .. so it'll have to do .. for now! :thumbsup
