Re: Ideas for a photo layout
|
Define small? There have been a couple of 4x8 or so On30 layouts in the press in the last couple of years that feature a central backdrop and high scenery to provide two different scenes with logical division. Almost any oval layout can be divided into urban and rural scenes with a backdrop. It can run from corner to corner rather than down the middle or be offset from the middle to give depth.?
Also check the NG conventions in Australia for some great photogenic but portable layouts.

Over the years, I built several small layouts, some of them even featured by Carl Arendt, but also some non-operational dioramas for exhibitions and to be used for photo scenes. Lately, model railway photography has become a major issue in my hobby, also by arranging temporary photo scenes that are combined with virtual backgrounds (see .
I'm just thinking about a new layout project. What I have in mind is to build a small layout with the main objective to be used for photo scenes. It can be operational, but not necessarily. Most layouts and dioramas are designed in a way that they should be viewed from just one side. What I'm looking for is an idea of how to design a layout in a way that it can be viewed from different angles providing the viewer with quite different impressions of that scene. Maybe similar like the famous designers of old English parks where you just walk a short distance but get a completely different picture of the landscape. Is anybody aware of of any articles dealing with that aspect of layout design?
