    Studio was 9x14x11




    inches that is mwink.gif

    Used a piece of foam core as the bottom and then just folded a few pieces of paper to make background walls. Light is from Halogen ceiling fan and FL50 bounced off paper or ceiling.

    Next time I'll spend a little more time with the setup as you can see the paper seems in a few shots.

    No not real. :D

    The first two shots are a Matchbox car -about 3 1/4" long x 1 1/2"wide
    The other car is a 1/18th scale die cast model- about 8" long x 5" wide

    I have never been to Barret Jackson- though I would like to. Thanks for the comments. thumb.gif

    Laughing.gif...you are so creative! I need to think out of the box, so to speak, to work on my skills.

    Nice, I too like the silver car. I like #4. I like that you can see the fire extinguisher inside. :D

    I need to pick up some more foam core and play with the lighting some more. This could become habit forming. :D

    With as many toy cars as I have, I'm surprised I hadn't beat you to the punch, anwmn! :D

    Great pictures. You've given me the bug to shoot some of mine.

    WAY cool idea and good photos! I recently tried to shoot some products in a similar setup, one technique that worked well was laying the products on an elevated (a few inches) piece of glass...again, GREAT idea :D
