Hi all, I just wrote a short tutorial on my experiences with taking scenic photos of my miniatures. I look at camera choices, lighting, framing, scene composition and photo editing. In a second installment I will move from the general to the specific and provide a step-by-step tutorial for one specific shot. Here is the link: link Some of my work:

Thanks for taking the time to write this tutorial. Looking forward to part 2. I like your references to composition and framing. Watercolor artist Frank Clarke's basic approach to composition: Have Some More Fun Horizon, Sky, Middle Ground and Foreground.

Thank you for your comments. Glad you find it interesting. Frank Clarke's HSMF principle is something to keep always in mind, thank you for adding this.
