@ Bandhav. Nice cars and good to see this thread getting to move after a lull. The Aston Martin model looks like the classic one used by Bond in Casino Royale.

Bandhav is back, and how! Welcome back Bandhav. This is your forte, and we all have missed you here for long. You are back, and with a DB5 no less! Amazing.

@Aryan: This is no P&C thread but still i would like you to drop a comment or two on the photos, as these day i am trying to explore indoor shooting some guidance will help me in getting better.

[Aryan]

Okay, here you go Bandhav:

The last set you posted, I could not find a critical point of focus in the first picture; my eye keeps hunting for the critical focus point in the first picture. I liked the second picture the best. The tyre is in sharp focus. The third shot again is lacking in critical focus while the fourth shot is a good one.

Indoor shooting is all about light, I am sure you know better than many here. The more light you have, the sharper your pictures will be. Else, for shooting still life, products, etc. indoors, you would need to use a tripod to stabilize the shots. Also, try and make sure that the lights does not provide any sharp shadows, or reflections on the 'subject'. Lighting from top and sides is the best, at times, as that gives one soft shadow with near zero reflections.

Indoor photography with artificial lights is NOT at all an easy field, but I am glad that you are delving deep into this 'field'. Do share some more photographs if you can.

Hey, nice pics there. I like second one(the wheels) the best, the fourth one is slightly overexposed - noticed how the cream of the rear has turned into burned out white.

As Aryan pointed out, it is difficult to shoot indoors without adequate lighting. For my macro shoots, I use a professional lighting table with two Trilux lights on the side and one on the top with a boom -all covered with cloth diffusers. They are from an Indian brand called Harison, and they don't cost an arm and a leg as most imports do. Do check them out if you have the time, they are really VFM. Once you have this setup, you will really enjoy shooting your scale model collection! You already have a great camera, so that's one thing you don't have to worry about
