If I may ask, what were the materials used, and did you have to drill the holes? Also I've attached my two figures onto tops of pencils that had lost their erasers with Elmer's white glue. How does one get the figure detached? Cutting, solvent?<br /><br />FYI - May I suggest taking whatever you are going to photograph by going outside on the north side of a building, or in nice open shade, or an overcast day. Let the ambient skylight be your light source. For bouncing light into subject, where indoors or out, try a white card just out of view. One can also cover a card with the shinny side of aluminum foil (this will often give a silvery fill, and if to close can also be harsh). A small mirror works as well for bouncing light. In the instance of the attached photo, bring the house close to the edge and place cards low or underneath table edge to bounce light. Also curve the fill card or the background card (for no seams).Gael Ridire/Irish Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547696504562974659noreply@blogger.com
