Title: See-Stadt, Steck Village
Post by: JLMatterer on October 24, 2016, 20:53:08
This is the largest diorama I've made so far, & it's relatively very small. It took 2 1/2 hours to set-up, photograph, & break-down. I call it "See-Stadt." The location is Piedmont Lake in Ohio. It was a good learning experience; taking involved shots outdoors is very different than using an indoor set-up, but the weather & wind cooperated, though it was a bit too sunny.

Nice pics!
And a beautiful & ideal environment for the shots! Is it near your house? Must be very relaxing to live there I imagine.
What did you used for pavement (underground) of the town? Assuming it is not something like a big stone bench... Whatever it is it looks very suitable!

Look at all your Steck now!  :lol:

Great pix - there's something very cool about pix using a "real" background!

Beautiful! I agree that it always looks nice to have Playmobil outside in a 'real' setting. Though my enthusiaism for taking playmobil outdoors as a child often ended up in damage  :-[

I also love how busy the street scene is, I always love looking at the little details.

The pavement was the first thing that caught my eye.
Oke second . . . after all the beer in your pics. Great job!

LOL - it is indeed a big stone bench. Piedmont Lake is about an hour from my house. It is just one of several large lakes near me. My part of Ohio is mostly countryside.

Gorgeous  :love:  The natural light and the surrounding make it stand out even more.

I agree it's quite impressive, what you've gathered in a relatively short time  8-)

Very good setting and the lighting for the photo's is quite good considering the bright sun. Nice details like the dog licking up the spilled beer.

Seltsame Welt des Netzes: Kaum daß ich hier einen ersten ("wo sind die Bilder?"-) Beitrag getippt hatte, wurde die Seite mit Bildern dargestellt (beim ersten Mal hatte ich nur weiße Fläche). Die Stadt ist  klasse. Schaut vor allem riesig aus mit all ihren Details. Und dann sieht man, daß sie eigentlich recht überschaubar ist. Die Perspektive mit dem See im Hintergrund - klasse!

While at first there was but white where pics should be, I had just written my first (where have all the pictures gone-) post when all pics appeared as if out of thin air. Great See-Stadt! Seems grand on all those detailed pictures and turns out surprisingly wee when seen as a whole. Great work!

Looks beautifull, the location and sunlight really add a lot to it as well.

That's one very fancy stableboy by the way.  :lol:

It's an older thread, but since it came up again: I just noticed how most of the sets in there are new (re-)releases. And it looks like a scene from the classic nineties!

Ich hätte nichts gegen neuere Bilder dieser Art einzuwenden...  :-[ I wouldn't object to new pics of that kind...
