Media: Photography, model landscaping trees, diorama

After purchasing a Canon T1i I was flipping through one of the instruction booklets and saw a diorama of a toy car in front of a city photo. The idea was to show what could be done with a macro lens and I was hooked.

I bought some model train landscaping supplies, found some sticks and stones, and started my first project. This is actually for a Phoenix Design Week project which required it to be flat and open, so I don’t consider it a real diorama, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Photographing it proved to be more challenging than I expected. Adding a backdrop is a pretty important step that I haven’t done yet. And the next one will be in a shoebox rather than on an open foam board.
