@p51 posted:Thanks. I love getting shots from 'eye level' and then messing around with some photo software to make them look like someone snapped a shot with a Speed Graphic camera, and it's now faded over time:
I never liked soft lighting on a layout, as you see that in real life only on a very cloudy day. I use LED cans, so none are overlapping and in shots it looks more like direct sunlight. As anyone who's watched a movie shot indoors that represents the outside can tell you, the lighting is easy to spot when it doesn't look like sunshine.
The effect is phenomenal! Eye level shots are some of the most exciting in my opinion.
Lighting is the one thing I'm most intimidated by on my layout. Thankfully I have some time before I have to worry about it. But I feel I have to get it done before I start doing scenery.
