    Optical illusion worked in the beginning, but not in the grass, even when you are at the same level as the grass... I`m curious why you have the ISO so high? Would it not make sense to have the lowest possible ISO, while shooting against the sunrise? Great location for landscape :)

    Looks like 1/32 scale but I wouldn't get hung up on scales too much as its all about shooting distance. My garden railway is 1/22.5 and I use 1/24 scale vehicles. All about distance and lighting. Experiment.... There are no limits!

    OK, thanks..... but I still think a bean bag keeps the camera steady when it's on the ground - with the use of the flip-out LCD (if it had one)

    Are you afraid of flash? How are u going to expose for the sky and casually say ur going to fix the cars exposure in PS? Thats stupid cuz you are just gonna introduce noise if u just add flash or bouce light back to the toy you could have a much more dynamic image and really accentuate bothe the toy and the background

    A few of the shots give away that it’s a toy, and then there’s the fatuous comment about the van looking as it’s off for a sense of adventure, how this conclusion is reached isn’t clear. It’s just wishy washy pretentious bullshit talk.

    At the risk of appearing rude, the real, the pertinent information could have been delivered in a fraction of the time. Do yourself and your audience a favor, get in and get out as quickly as possible. People are looking for information. Respect their time and they will respect you. Chances are your subs will increase as well.
