jerseyjunker1 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I WOULD LIKE ANY OPINIONS ON THIS PICTURE THAT I HAD MADE UP TO FIT BEHIND MY JUNKYARD AT SHOWS. IN THESE SHOTS THE JUNKYARD IS NOT SET UP JUST A PART OF IT.
Ramfins59 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Looks good Manny. A junkyard in an out of the way area...
Sixties Sam Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Very nice! I would suggest moving the diorama a bit farther away from the background for photos. The trees look a bit too big. Sam

Sam you are exactly correct in the test shot i took the picture closer that it is when i set it up at the shows. here is a picture how it is normally set up. i took this picture at my last car show to show the correct distance. let me know if this looks better to anyone.
Pete J. Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I see two issues that detract from it in my eye. The first is the lighting. Your background has very sharp delineation of shadows and light. If you can't match that with your foreground it is going to look off. Also the trees in the foreground of the photo look way to large. My eye says they are about the width of a car. Now if you are in a redwood forest that would not be bad. Perhaps if you lowered the background until the ground line in the very back of the photo was just at or below the level of the house it might correct these issues. Edited July 19, 2014 by Pete J.
wayne swayze Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 That's a great looking "yard", but I agree with Pete J. about lowering the background.
jerseyjunker1 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 That's a great looking "yard", but I agree with Pete J. about lowering the background. thanks for all of your honest and great opinions on my backround picture. i agree with all of you about lowering the picture i think that will look much better than the way i have been showing it and the next time i set it up i will try it. again thanks everyone and i love honest criticism its the best way to correct things that we ourselves do not catch but others do.
wayne swayze Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Could you show us how it looks with the background lowered?
american car crazy Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Manny, If you've ever watched old '60's TV shows like Bonanza etc., with a keen eye you'll notice the painted back drops. Your back drop has much the same effect which is cool. If you're able you might try and experiment with your shots in black and white. I like your junkyard! americancarcrazy
