Thanks, Thunderw21.

Any advice on how to do a full - body shot? I don't really have anyone who can take the picture for me.

Set the camera on self timer, set it on a shelf or windowsill or something, and step back. What kind of camera are you shooting with?

 

[cgab1]

Nikon L18, digital.

How far should I stand back?

Thanks

 

[Dinerman]

maybe ten three paces or so. Give it a little trial and error, and remember that you can always crop on your computer.

Hey cgab, I have a Nikon L2 so the setup is similar.

You want the large round dial on the right. On the left of the dial is a clock-looking thing. That's your timer.

Press that and a window should appear on the screen with an 'on/off' choice. Select 'on' and press 'ok'. Then set up the camera where you want it and press down the shutter button. I'll count down (10 seconds, at least on mine) before taking a picture.

Cheers!

I usually put a little mirror behind the camera, to see what it sees, if you understand me.

Very nice! I wear modern DBs with vintage ties and vintage fedoras a lot myself.

I'm still not the greatest at self-taken full body shots, but these are the best photos that I have of my 1940s double breasted pinstripe. How is the fit?

Thanks,

Cgab

Beautiful, sir. It looks like it fits like a glove. The pinched waist is what does it, IMO. Looks like you got yourself a real nice suit. Enjoy!

Thanks,

I was concerned that the sleeves may be a little short.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Sleeves are short-ish. Fill the space (right wrist) with some shirt cuff and it'll look grand.

Is it a British suit?

Outdoor photography will help to highlight the features.

How is the fit?

Fantastic. If it feels as good on you as it looks then I'd say you hit it out of the ball park. The tapered silhouette is classic, and so is the sleeve length. Bravo, sir.

what do you guys think of how this absolute beauty of a suit fits me? I'm sorry for the poor pictures, I need to set up some sort of system at home but meanwhile, here's what I've got...

As you can see by one of the last pictures, I feel it fails the deckard test in that the chest armholes seem a bit too big for me. Although the measurements don't seem to be too big for me...? Am I crazy?! lol

 

[Feraud]

You are crazy mike! The suit looks good.

You are crazy mike! The suit looks good.

lol ah ok, atleast that's settled

I don't care about the suit. Who are those DAMES? Wow!

Err... your Buddy looks oddly familiar there: You know, Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust.

Yeah the waist "supression" just makes it right...
