Natural lighting and dios
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, February 10, 2005 2:06 PM
Our club, Victoria Scale Modellers, participated in a hobby display at a local mall last weekend. In the three days of the display we had rain, wind, fog, a little snow and glorious sunshine. When the sunshine came through the glass ceiling and hit the dios it had a rather dramatic affect. Here are some quick shots I took. You might recognize some of the work of Kelly and sasd. I hope you enjoy and all comments welcome.

I'm glad that some people know the true gifts of natural lighting. Some figure painters believe that they have to paint shadows onto a figure or diorama, when all they need is just plain ole light. There is a GOD! Oh BTW great pics.

Hi Jaysun,
Our club meets on the second Monday of every month at the CNIB building here in our fine city. Check out www.vsm.bc.ca for more info. We actually do have a member that comes down from Nanaimo too, so come on down! (Long live Bob Barker! LOL)
