Yeah, I tried that. Perhaps if I had better lighting and used a tripod - I took about 35 pictures and those were the best... |

Firstly, not all cameras are good at capturing low level spectrum's... That said, A key to capturing black objects well, is even controlled lighting. You have to illuminate all sides of the object well enough, and the lighting must be flat/even... so it will not create sharp contrast. A cameras un-diffused flash for example, will create a bright high contrast area... and reduce the spectrum of visible blacks captured. Many such objects are photoed in a "light-tent". A small wire frame that has white translucent bed-sheet type material mounted to it. They place the object in the tent, and light all sides of the tent from far enough back to keep a spotlight effect from occurring. The camera then may either not use a flash, or will have some sort of light diffuser attached to it, which will spread the light out more, and keep it from making bright hot-spots. If the object is too light, one can always use photoshop to create contrast, reducing the spectrums a bit. However, one can not take a bad photo which is missing a wide range of spectrum, and make it look good with photoshop. Turning up the brightness with missing spectrum will reveal the missing colors that much worse. |

Hmmmm... not so sure about those "improved" handles. They're much less rounded than the real ones, giving a rather boxy look. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice yoke, it's just that I would never mistake it for a pristine version of the original. Given Dave's commendable obsession for perfection, not to mention the time taken, I'm surprised to see results which aren't quite authentic. Level42... wow that alignment is bad. My handles align perfectly, which makes me wonder whether Atari messed up when making additional mould sets. Dave (another one) |

Looks to me that the original appears rounded because of the poor fit, so I don't see it as really being different from those pictures, other than correcting the poor fit, and of course the finish. But then again, I don't have an original yoke to serve as a reference like you do. |
