A Behind the Scenes Look at Our Entry for the 2025 Toy Dinosaur Forum's Diorama Contest
I've documented some milestones in the creation of our entry for the 2024 Edition of the Toy Dinosaur Forum's Annual Diorama Photo Contest. Anyone who is interested and as notes to myself. I've been using photo stacking recently believing it creates a greater illusion of reality by eliminating the shallow depth of field produced by having cameras too close to their small subjects.
I shot 8 exposures of both Stegosaurus and Allosaurus and then stacked them in photoshop. I also shot 8 exposures of the figures in silhouette to use as masks to drop out backgrounds for compositing.
