Yes it's possible. In photography lighting is key. Some moderate knowledge in a good editing software will go a long way too. I tend to use Photoshop and Lightroom in conjuction. Everything in Saburo's nice pictures are in focus, so his aperture is stopped down (higher #'s = more objects in photo are in focus; example F4.0). Most camera phones and lower end cameras aperture range is around F2 unless you have some of the newer phones and I believe they shoot at F1.7/F1.8 (lower # means less in focus and more light coming in for less noise; better for low light situations). Again all of this is subjective on the relative nature of how close the camera is to the subject and the subject to the background. Looks like Saburo didn't include his metadata on flickr so it's hard to tell what hes shooting with and what kind of lens unless you asked.

jenius Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 If you have really bright lights and a black backdrop you could probably get a similar look (ignoring everything about photography) but you'll find it's pretty fleeting. The glow-in-the-dark paint is very tiny applications so they seem to dim rather rapidly and it also makes them more subtle in all but the most extreme instances.

derex3592 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 GREAT pics Saburo! I still can't believe Arcadia frosted the bridge glass when they flat coated them. Rookie mistake. . There is some nice detail hidden behind there on the Yamato version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 My premium SDF-1 arrived today, and it's fantastic. I took a quick look and didn't notice any missing pieces or obvious defects. I may take some poor man photos later this week. I'm really impressed with From Japan, though. After notifying me of the box damage, they handled the issue professionally. The shipper box was resealed (as I requested), and they put everything into another box, effectively triple boxing the SDF-1 for its international journey. It was packed securely for this second trip and held in place with bubble wrap and a nice vacuum sealed plastic wrap, similar to what I've seen HLJ and Amazon use in the past. EMS cost me 6800 JPY, which included fees and a 500 JPY discount that I had available. The end result is the SDF-1 came in exactly the same condition it was sent. Luckily, it was a superficial dent.

Thats what I was thinking too when I compared the pix to Saburo's. Its fresh out of the box should I transform it or should it come together better? I never owned an SDF-1 so I"m at the mercy of you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
