4b Tractor question

Post by Cam »

I got this 4b Tractor in that huge box of stuff and can't seem to identify it. It hinges on the fill on the driver and this one seems to have a partial fill. There is an opening in it but has some filled in. Can anyone help? I apologize for the lousy picture and will try to get a better one. I am apparently a better collector that photographer!

Your picture is Great cam, and to quote Mike Stannard's words on this 4B infill, "Open Gap between arms and legs although flashing does occur". Your example has flashing that causes it to be in the middle of these two variations of 'Open', and 'Closed'. How you catalog it is up to you, and it is kind of an oddity to display as an example of the beginning of the closed gap on this 4B. Thanks for showing us some of your very interesting "Finds". kwakers

Hello Cam and that other guy I keep bumping into... ;)

There is always a feeling that you have to 'get in close' when taking picture of models, in fact you don't need to. A god way to capture models in focus, is to take several pictures, all the same but at different 'focal lengths', meaning, start with the model right in the middle of the cameras screen, but without zooming-in, take the picture, now just zoom-in a little bit, Snap, zoom-in a bit more, Snap and so on, do this four or five times and you will have at least three pictures in sharp focus, its that easy.

I will cover this in more detail in my 'Photography' thread pretty soon, so get there early and grab the front seats, refreshments will be available... :lol:

Ghosty.
