I was pointing out the variation in the photo’s from two photographers who I know, who shot them at the same time and from only slightly differing locations. I agree with the technical aspects of reproduction and monitors etc completely. What I was trying to point out was that the representations in the later shots are very different from the earlier shots of it static taken by DCW. The blue changes dramatically by the last shots by Pen Pusher. David’s early shots are more representative of the true colour on Miss Helen and the later shots are at odds to this. I’ve looked at the pictures on three different computers now and they all show the same variation. I have indeed worked both on and alongside Miss Helen for the last three weeks, so I feel I am in a qualified position to make the statement regarding how accurate the colour reproduction appears. Many modellers read this forum and they might be trying to represent Miss Helen and would therefore appreciate such technical pointers as to what is the most accurate blue shade for them to represent. If I posted up the Federal Standard number for the blue then it would be lost on most people, that’s why I made the statement I did regarding the more accurate representation of the colour. In fact, it doesn’t match any FS, BS or RAL number anyway! Look at the pictures again and tell me you can’t see any difference in shade from the early to the later shots. Shade, sun position, angle all make a dramatic difference without even going down the route of DCW’s or PP’s personal editing preference settings, differing makes of camera, lenses etc.
