a mini 1969 mini cooper. fuji x-e1 and 60mm. shot on a leather chair in my bedroom.

I used to have one of those back in the old days, mine was battleship grey and was large enough for me to get into

Seriously, I do rather like this Beth great DoF. nice

 

[Brian Moore]

Cold outside I guess.

I like it Beth! I like how the wee car is emerging from the blackness, chiaroscuro-style. The red enamel pops up nicely, too.

Its funny isnt it, you dont realise just how big cars have got... ... they used to be SO small

love the shot!

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks guys. just got the car and wanted to take a picture. it's going to be in more pictures outdoors, like some of the toy photos I've seen posted here. lol, just realized the windshield/windscreen has a reflection of the ceiling fan.

Hi Beth,

Always like pics of toys, they present the unreal world. Having the pic of the car front on gives it a certain "hey look at me !" look

 

[Vic Shaw]

like this a lot, great lighting.

 

[Pete Askew]

Very nice and the lighting works superbly. You might need to get the tracking sorted on the front wheels though!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Beth you might want to have a look here, I think there's some great stuff and ideas in here..

Beth I have a number of 'toys for photography' but I haven't found exactly what I want them to do yet, perhaps we should start a toy world thread!!

 

[Beth Carter]

sounds good to me if hamish goes for it.
