John Reid Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 I like to use all kinds of lighting when taking pics.This pic was taken with the hangar lights on and ambient lighting outside.The airplane has been raised to flying position while it is being rigged.The two fighter pilots are there discussing how things are going.

John Reid Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 I wonder how I could change the title of this thread from what it is now to "The Art Of The Diorama".I will be posting more than one of my dioramas here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Reid Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Maintenance crew chief instructing some of his fellow mechanics about a new engine type.I designed this diorama in such a way as to have the light shining through the cracks in the boards.Unfortunately, the museum didn't install the background lighting as it was intended to be.This is what they call a box diorama viewable from the front only and this really spoils the effect.

John Reid Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Early morning in the shop.This shot is completely taken in artificial lighting.I enjoy getting lots of shadows on the floor.The aircraft is being rigged for flight after it is covered with fabric.
