Behind the scenes:

Post by Thundershot »

Hi all,

I'd like to share a couple of quick, easy & (more importantly) cheap tricks for diorama pictures.

Take couple of old clear polythene bags, some foam packaging, a sheet of coloured paper & add some imagination:

You've all seen this old shirt many times before:

O.K. it's not very fashionable but with some artistic lighting & a little creative licence it makes a half passable desert setting:

The only technical advice I can give is set the camera to 'Macro', otherwise just be creative with what you've got to hand & have fun.

Cheers

Great tips Ed, I think for the majority of us Mortals given just the camera work to do we would be a bit pants.
