Behind The Scenes
Big Toys, A Point Of View
Big Toys
For one of my Project 365 images, I wanted to try and make a small object appear bigger than it’s actual size by my choice of perspective, viewpoint and setting. The object I chose for this experiment was a 1/18th scale model of a Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet. It’s a fairly detailed model, which helps with the illusion of scale.
A Simple Backlighting Setup
Project 365: 27th May 09
For a recent Project 365 entry I used this backlit image of some white chrysanthemums. Translucent subjects, such as flowers, make good subjects for this sort of lighting and it gives something a bit different from the norm. Fortunately, the flowers were arranged in a shallow glass bowl, which made the whole thing a bit easier.
Project 365 - Behind The Scenes
To accompany the Project 365 gallery, I have been posting regular(ish) roundups which go into some more detail about the shots for that week. For a number of the images, the detail is mostly a reiteration of the image description that appears in the gallery.
Because of this, I am going to replace the Project 365 roundup with a new series of Behind The Scenes posts. These will cover a single Project 365 image and will detail the thought processes, setup or story behind that image. Unlike the roundup, only images that warrant the extra coverage will appear in a Behind The Scenes post.
I will be featuring old Project 365 images (from before I started the roundup) as well as the more recent ones, but I am open to suggestions for which images are featured. If there is a particular Project 365 image that you would like to see getting a Behind The Scenes treatment then drop me an email or stick it in a comment on this post. If you specify the date that the image appears and any particular info that you would like included, then I will do my best to cover it.
