1: My assault on the photo contest begin near the
Oakhill gravel quarry with this shot. From here I moved
the camera around (including into the quarry) and
experimented with lighting and equipment placement.
Photo shoots can be like a box of chocolates – you
don't know what you're going to get until you've got it.
It's best to try a variety of approaches. Chances are at
least one will yield good results.
In a break from writing about modeling and operation on the
BC&SJ, I thought the process I went through to produce my
contest entries might be of interest.
Contest rules
Before dragging out the camera and starting to shoot, it's
a good idea to check the rules. This photo contest had four
categories: color model photos, B&W model photos, color
prototype photos, and B&W prototype photos. Each entrant
for the Boise convention contest was allowed a maximum of
six entries with a maximum of three in any single category. I
figured on entering in the color and black and white model
photo categories.
