I recently moved in with my fiancée, on my in-laws home. So, although I still didn’t moved my collection to my new home, some models came with me. But being a new house, I need to find a new photo spot! Luckily, my mother-in-law did an excellent job decorating the back yard, and there are several nice places. I took photos of my 1/43 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan on several different places, and I need your help to find what are the best locations.
1) Under the pitanga tree
I think it’s one of the best, because the tree filters the heavy sunlight.
Trivia: According to Wikipedia, pitanga is a South American fruit, also called Brazilian Cherry or Suriname Cherry. It’s delicious.
2) By the pool
The light blue backdrop works very well
3) On the rocks
This can work quite well for vehicles with off road capabilities, but for a Le Mans Ferrari weirdo it’s a bit strange...
4) On the concrete seats
Heavy sunlight and homogeneous backdrop really make the model pop, it’s like a natural light box
5) Over the garden table
For Italian models it’s spot on, because azulejos (or glazed tiles) give the photos a Mediterranean look
6) On the fence
A bit hard to work out, because this “fence” is only decorative, around the small flower beds. However, I think this particular photo turned out great!
7) By the stove
Wooden stoves, called fogão de lenha in Portuguese, are something very particular to some regions. The slow-cooked food made on a wood-burning stove, and in a panela de barro (we can translate like clay pot) tastes like no other.
8) Over a stump
Again, something that can really work for a off-roader, but a bit strange for a racing car.
9) By the fountain
Rain effects FTW!!!
10) With a dog
That’s no Shepherdzilla. LaLD, meet Malu, a boxer and german shepherd mix that’s unstoppable. It’ll be even harder to snap photos with her than it was to snap with Mila, also known as shepherdzilla
11) With a turtle
Somewhat easier, but I forgot to put the model on the photo, lol
What’s your favorite?
