I just love the way you did the picture with the books. Very helpful advice. I'm really not all that skilled at photographing klickys. I need to work on setting up better backgrounds so the pictures look realistic. Up til now I haven't given any attention to backgrounds, just the playmobil itself.

Thank you for all the valuable tips, Gaston!  While I don't think I'll personally invest quite so much effort into my photo stories, I'm sure the result of all your pains will be gorgeous.  It already looks magnificent! :)

thank you Elaine and Justin. I hope all the effort pays off. As you see the simplest idea (books) so far gave me better results. BUt I want to go bigger so I need this diorama! I hope I can continue working on it soon!

Guys these are other examples with the same book and technique. The basic thing here is light. The perspective behind the queen is awesome. Unfortunately it is out of focus.  :'(





I don't know if you can see it but notice  the beam of light on the monk coming from behind the altar! that was pure luck and I loved it!!  :lol:

Oh, wow! Those are really great! The lighting is just perfect; it matches the lighting in the backgrounds so well. Good work!

That happens to be my favorite princess. She's wearing purple and gold, the colors of my favorite football team. Geaux tigers!!!  ;D

this was an excellent discussion on dioramas, and your two book technique for the flooring as well as the background is great.  the depth of field created by the blurry background vs the klickies adds to the photo.  just before you press the shutter, most of the cameras show you where the  object of focus is, so that is great. 

i like your mansion grass, with the random edge at the river.   
thank you
