Royal Blue Tiger

This lighting adjustment on this camera is something else,One minute you have it looking pretty good,the next its off,cannot get it to take a good pic outside in the sunlight ? dont figure.Anybody know anything about a Cannon ZR600 ?, and can tell me how to adjust would be of great help and much appricated.

But anyway this is a couple of shots of a tiger that I just put the first coat of finish on; royal blue and pearl metallic under-wraps, with another royal blue on top..

Do you guys see a difference in regular flex coat and the ultra V , in curing times and clarity of finish?.

Looks great Ken, finish looks nice and level. Just for info, I take all my pics outside in natural lighting with the sun to my back. Nothing special really, just Macro auto mode. I use an Olympus but I'm sure it's not much different than yours. Also, outside try not to zoom in too much, I take the pics from about 3 feet way with it auto-focused then use Photoshop to zoom and crop. Sometimes by zooming into too much intitially it won't focus properly especially if the background is too busy. Just some tips, Randy.

Randy ,,,, Can you print a decal like that?, Or do you know someone who can?..
I would love to have a decal of that for this rod. I'm waiting for some decals now for the handle now, ( UK-and PAW prints )But one of that cat would look good facing up right in front of the reel. since the rod is being built for a Kentucky Wildcat fan...

post the finished rod when complete..Thanks Kenny..

You need a blue tiger to go with that cool blue wrap.

Ken,
That particular image type could be reproduced if you print it on WHITE decal paper to retain the color. It won't be super bright but it can be done on a color printer. I got that image off the net that's why it's small. If it was blown up it would get pixelated and not look that good. Best bet is to get one out of a book or something that could be scanned at the original image size. Randy.

Thanks Randy..What I really need is some no bigger than a 1" square to go on the handle, full head shot ,and as capt G mentioned, ( Thanks G )with a blue face instead of orange.If everything goes as planned, I will need about 20 , Got any ideas where I can get them done?. Thanks Kenny

As far as the camera thing goes, not sure but when using macro, don't zoom as it blurs the pic out.

Looks great. I hope to try something similar soon...
