Bill DavisI am not real pleased with my close up photography. I am using a Cannon Eos Rebel on a tripod with Aperture set at max, which is F35. Any suggestion as how I might improve my photographs?

Steven Van DyckRemove background that attracts unnecessary focus. You can move the focus crosshair on the screen a bit down so it will get the model sharp and not the car behind it. Take pictures from further away, you can always magnify without losing too much detail.

Bill DavisI have finished the chassis and running gear, except for the headers. I will put them on once I get the body mounted. I couldn't resist setting the body on the chassis, just to see what it would look like. I have the ends of the body glued on and primered the body. A little filling and sanding and the body will be ready to paint.
